Mission Impossible 3

OK, here is another movie review... A continuation from the other one about Hooligans. Anyways, one reason why I'm reviewing this is I watched it twice... IN THE F-ING CINEMA!!!!
So the dumb ones must be thinking "Wow. it's THAT good? Twice man~!".
The answer is NO! Nothing starring Tom Cruise could be worth watching twice in the cinema. Seriously, NOTHING! But what the heck, I did anyway. But of course my actions were justified by the fact that the first time I was actually planning on watching Fragile but some bugger named Mae couldn't take horror movies so we had to settle for this movie instead and the second time was because we went to the cinema and Pumba and Kay haven't watched it yet and none of them were up for some good ol' cheapskate scare from Fragile so we got urshered in to watch MI3 again.
Despite the hype and all, I would recommend Hooligans to a friend rather than MI3. Don't ask me why, the answer is staring right back at you in the poster above.
The storyline is OK lah~ Very predictable and shit like that. The main draw is just the explosions and (for guys) Maggie Q's superb body at the Vatican city operation. The rest is just mediocre.
Spoiler warning:
Well, the part where Ethan Hunt (Tom Cruise) rides in to accept the mission on a killer motorbike is totally old school too despite that joke from Mae about how any other star would have banged their head on the airplane wing when their passed underneath it except Tom cause of his inadequate vertical growth.
And the part where Davian shot the fake Julia was actually extremely fun the first time we watched it. I remember me and Mae high-fiving cause we thought it was for real the 1st time. The second time round that scene was still good although we already know the plot. If I haven't mentioned this earlier, here it is : Death and ginourmous explosions pleases me.
But I totally hate the part on the airplane after they have captured Davian and Ethan go berserk. First of all, I think it is standard training for spies that you never call your partner by name no matter what the situation if you're on a mission so that part was total bullshit.
Or the part where they got attacked while transporting Davian was messed up too. One question : Why didn't Ethan gun down the helicopter that was about to ship Davian off from afar using the long range gun instead of wasting time jumping and running after it? Hello~ it IS a long range gun after all. See? In the pic he just had to waste precious moments jumping over that gap when he could have easily shot the flying thing from where he was!
And the part where Ethan escapes from the IMF holding cell. When he got out of the lift, why did he press the alarm button because as I see it, it had a chance to get out of there no questions asked!
Argh! The part where he gets onto the limo of Davian and the driver asks him to drink the drug that's supposed to make you lose consciousness!!!!! Out of all the things he could remember or hallucinate about he HAD TO hallucinate the part of him making out with Julia!!!
{Spoiler Ends}

But I guess the producers still get credit for the bangs and booms. Watch it if you have money to spare and nothing to do.
