Review

I mentioned in [[Mission Impossible II]] I think, where I talk about this deviation to the form set. This movie is the beginning of what brough the Mission Impossible world forward to be as good as it is.

The action, the setting, and the story are so good. It also is probably one of the better tie-end and continuation of a movie directly after that isn't a true part 2. Let's start with the action. The fighting makes sense. There isn't anything that feels out of place, people make mistakes, and there is weight to the sound as well.

I think this movie also is the beginning of these epic, recognizable locations. The sandstorm in this movie is amazing. A true 'Haboob' that just feels as oppressive as it appears. You also have the climbing of the tower and I am genuinely curious how they did it knowing that Tom likes to do his own stunts in location.

My Rating

It is hard to fault this movie. There are some really cheesy things, like "MISSION ACCOMPLISHED!" but they call it out. The CGI can be rough at time, I am looking at you Kremlin, but honestly the fact that they didn't get destroyed by the actual Kremlin about it is a testament to how well these movies are received. I enjoy this movie, obviously, and am going to give this an 8.

Parental Rating

Limited language, some blood, and no sex... well no physical sex, but a scene with some underwear. This movie has the right amount of action and lack of hard language to make my dad interested. The movie really isn't my mom's cup of tea, and the lack of family content means she wouldn't approve. So approved by Dad and rejected by Mom.
