Email this page to a friend   Critics Reviews Average Grade:   B Source Brief Review Grade* Atlanta Journal-Constitution Bob Longino "...a solid enough popcorn movie, firmly popped and professionally packaged to kick off the summer season." more... B- Boston Globe Wesley Morris "...doesn't rise to the seasonal occasion so much as settle into it." more... B- Chicago Sun-Times Roger Ebert "I didn't expect a coherent story from Mission: Impossible III, and so I was sort of surprised that the plot hangs together more than in the other two films." more... B- Chicago Tribune Michael Phillips "Uneven but lively..." more... B- E! Online "This sequel is, like its star and his two previous Missions, ridiculous." more... B- Entertainment Weekly Owen Gleiberman "...a gratifyingly clever, booby-trapped thriller that has enough fun and imagination and dash to more than justify its existence..." more... B+ filmcritic.com Sean O'Connell "...Abrams does far more than simply reboot the machine. He provides a much-needed stab of adrenaline through the franchise's creative heart." more... B+ Hollywood Reporter Sheri Linden "...Abrams and his co-scripters inject some humor and emotion, elements sorely lacking in the first two editions." more... B+ Los Angeles Times Kenneth Turan "Abrams, best known as the co-creator of "Alias" and "Lost," has come up with a solidly crafted entertainment, a diversion that really diverts once it gets down to business." more... B+ New York Post Lou Lumenick "While Hoffman's Davian is appropriately menacing, his screen time is rather limited..." more... B- New York Times Manohla Dargis "Mr. Hoffman enlivens Mission: Impossible III, which otherwise droops..." more... C+ ReelViews James Berardinelli "...provides lots of action, but too little excitement. It generates lots of pyrotechnics, but too little heat." more... B- Rolling Stone Peter Travers "...best when it stirs it up." more... B+ San Francisco Chronicle Mick LaSalle "...when this fast-paced action thriller turns physical, Cruise closes the deal." more... B+ Seattle Post-Intelligencer William Arnold "...the air of deja vu is stifling..." more... C+ USA Today Claudia Puig "Abrams may have achieved the nearly impossible: taking a predictable, tired franchise and putting his signature style on it so that it feels fresh and cool." more...
