When I first watched this on release on dvd back in 2006, I wasn't impressed and kinda bored. I decided to give it another try on blu-ray before watching the excellent Rogue Nation.
I clearly wasn't paying much attention 9 years ago because I thoroughly enjoyed this movie. Then again, 9 years is a long time and it's hard to believe it has been that long since I last watched it. There were a few small surprises in this one. Impressive stunts, good acting, allies relying on each other, and a very neat story too. This is now one of my most favourite action movies, I guess now I appreciate this movie far more than I would have almost 10 years ago. J J Abrams did a very good job here, he also did a good job with the new Star Trek movies, and I'm sure Star Wars: the Force Awakens will be a good movie as well.
Picture quality is a bit rocky in area, but for the most part, it looked top notch. I will have to watch this one again very soon before I have Rogue Nation in my collection. There are no decent extra feature for this edition of M:I-3, but I bought the 2 disc dvd version for very cheap, which has plenty and just added those discs to this blu-ray version. It's a quality 3 disc set now. You just gotta do what you gotta do. *thumbs up*

Another Go at Saving......
Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 23 July 2014Verified Purchase
‘Mission Impossible 3’ (2010) is a much better film than its predecessor but not quite up to the original. As in the other films there’s a convoluted plot with a ‘macguffin’ which doesn’t bear serious scrutiny – in fact, in this film the writers....... I won’t say but it becomes pretty obvious. As with the others in the franchise there’s fast and furious action and acrobatic performances (some in reality would produce serious injury or death), but there’s not quite so much ‘shoot them up because they can’t kill Americans’ as featured in IM_2. Storyline & script are better than MI_2 with less play on spectacle for its own sake – although I did find the Vatican sequence stretched credibility. I also wondered how much part of the plot owed to that superb spoof ‘True Lies’ with Arnold Schwarzenegger – perhaps not so much ‘fact resembling fiction’ as ‘thriller resembling parody’. Direction and photography were good.
Tom Cruise and Ving Rhames are as workmanlike as in previous outings. The villain is nicely played by Philip Seymour Hoffman, both Billy Crudup and Lawrence Fishbourne were enigmatic in their bureaucratic roles and Michelle Monaghan had a good stab at ‘the wife to come home to’ (a la Jamie Lee Curtis in the spoof). Finally I enjoyed Simon Pegg in the minor role as a near-hysteric who brings home the bacon.
Overall I enjoyed the couple of hours so it’s worth 4 stars.

Exciting stuff
Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 11 January 2011Verified Purchase
Yes this is an exciting movie but Tom Cruise has moved away from the original themes of the tv series and more towards the explosive action of the 'Bourne' series. There is a lot less trickery and finesse and a lot more gunplay and explosions. That said it is a very enjoyable film and my blu ray copy was excellent. It will be interesting to see if Mrs Ethan Hunt returns for MI4 which is now in production or will they change the whole storyline to suit. Perhaps poor Michelle Monaghan will be bumped off in the first frames as was Matt Damon's girlfriend in the beginning of 'Bourne Supremacy'. Either way if action movies are your cup of tea then for you this is probably the best of the trilogy, for those of us who remember the tv series it lost something along the way.

Stick to the original theme
Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 9 April 2014Verified Purchase
Film is ok but the previous two were much better - this one seems to lack the dynamism of the first and the suspense of the second. Its a bit of a typical blockbuster with lots of action but very very little in the way of thoughtful plot. I thought the first two films were superb and watch them time and time again so was looking forward to this release. But was sadly a disappointment.
