This film is WAY better than M:I:3!!!!!!!!!!!


HOW the hell could Tom think that going from JON MOTHERFU**ING WOO to J.J. Abrahams was a GOOD idea!!???


M:I:3 dosn't hold a candle (or cigarette) to the awesomeness that is this film.

No.

2 is a bad movie. I do not even need to go into what makes it bad, it's just obvious.

3 is a pretty good film. Philip Hoffman, great actor, great villain. The film has its faults, but 2 is nothing but faults.

MI3 is by far the worst of the series

even equiped with a shovel and you couldn't dig this

This one is pretty good but it's only watchable for the fact that John Woo films a shootout better than anyone else, even then there is hardly any action in this. MI3 kicks ass way better than this one in my opinion

Better as a ridiculously over-the-top (yes, even for this franchise), overstylized, overedited, and meaningless action movie? Of course it is.

But does it have better, more focused direction, better acting, a superior story, and basically more heart and edge than III? Hell f’n no. (Speak to me not if you disagree, tee hee.) Woo may be a legend, but his style felt gimmicky and cheap compared to what J.J. and future directors (and previously De Palma) of MI films brought to the franchise. II brings the flashy action and has some memorable shots, but it lacks everything that makes this franchise great. The action itself is hard to take seriously.

So yeah, time hasn’t been at all kind to II. With that said, it’s III all the damn way for me! The most underrated movie in the franchise.
