Mission: Impossible III
Disappointing. Given all the talent involved in this movie it really should have been a whole lot better. I hate the reliance on ‘character impersonation‘, it seems to be used because the writer is lazy and can’t be bothered to create a sophisticated plot that rewards the audience’s attention. Also the trend to cutting movies for the video game generation really pisses me off. Film is a wonderful media, it does not have to impersonate another media to bring audiences in. I actually like to see what is going on. All the quick cutting just frustrates and iritates me.
I’m quite happy to suspend my disbelief for a movie like this but I need a payoff from the movie makers. I’m not an adolescent boy and I’ve been a movie fan since I was 14 years old. How about taking me more seriously as a potential customer who’s prepared to go back and watch a movie multiple times if it’s satisfying enough? Sadly my money doesn’t seem to appeal as much as the next boy’s!
