I don’t usually blog about movies.

But this movie was oustanding. With an obnoxiously clever script, a gripping story, great acting, and “impossible missions” that are at once realistic and at the same time mind boggling, I couldn’t have envisioned MI3 being this good. Honestly, I expected another MI2.

Unequivocally the best Tom Cruise movie I’ve ever seen; the best action flick I’ve ever seen; and it has my vote for the best movie of the past 3 years. This is a refreshing return to the intelligence of the original MI, with caper and combat sequences unlike anything before it.

It’s directed by J. J. Abrams, creator and producer of Alias and Lost, arguably two of the best shows on television. What’s scary is that this is the first movie he’s directed — and he’s now my favorite director, along side Peter Jackson. I don’t think it’s possible for him to improve upon this movie, but I’m sure going to watch everything he makes to find out.
