After the return of the great Superman, Brother Tom came again with "Mission Impossible 3". This year seems to be another year of sequel movies. After all, investment in sequel movies is relatively safe in terms of return, so film companies are also willing to continue to invest money. Whether the sequel movie will be a sequel or icing on the cake is completely unpredictable, but most of the time I will inevitably be skeptical, after all, it can achieve beyond. The sequels are always numbered. The first encounter with "Mission Impossible" was a stunning feeling. The suspenseful layout of the film, coupled with gorgeous skills, coupled with imaginative visual effects, definitely made me enjoy it. Nevertheless, I don't have too high expectations for "Mission Impossible 3". Everything stems from "Mission Impossible 2" directed by Wu Yusen, which disappoints me. Wu Yusen completely made "Mission Impossible 2" into the western version of "The True Colors of Heroes". The film fully expresses the violent aesthetics, but it allows the visual enjoyment to completely replace the suspenseful layout of the spy movie, and the style of the first episode. It's very far away, and it doesn't look like an expected spy-themed movie at all.

Watching a movie with a low-expectation mentality often results in unexpected results. "Mission: Impossible 3" finally made me feel a little surprised. Although many people have criticized this sequel movie, it is undeniable that this view is somewhat influenced by preconceived ideas. Throughout the film, "Mission: Impossible 3" is quite close to the style of the first episode. The film regroups the old face Remus and the fresh faces Maggie Q and Meyers into a four-person special agent team, and picks up the first episode. Team spirit. It should be said that every piece of green leaf has been paid enough attention to make them shine, and it is not like "Mission Impossible 2" that fully highlights Hante's personal ability and ignores the existence of green leaves. Although Hollywood film and television works have always liked lone heroes, it is not just to set off individual heroism and ignore the whole, especially like special agent movies. Teamwork is essential, just like Bauer in the drama "24 Hours." It is also inseparable from the technical support of CTU's staff. In "Mission: Impossible 3", Hante finally turned back to the reliable ace agent in the first episode.

Unlike Wu Yusen’s dazzling graphics in "Mission Impossible 2", the action scenes in "Mission Impossible 3" are quite clean and unobtrusive. The rapid cut of the lens drives the compactness of the whole film, and the special effects are also quite similar. The popularity almost made the audience breathless in front of the screen. The mission bridge that closely combines high-tech and sophisticated layout is quite outstanding. It is particularly worth mentioning that the Vatican’s kidnapping bridge is definitely counting the steps, interlocking, and perfecting wisdom and skill. Combined, from here I almost see the level of the first episode. However, after this climax, the film was a bit off the track. Although there were still many hot scenes in the film, but without the subtle cooperation of the team, Brother Tom began to fight all over the world again, with less wisdom and brute force. Big. The development of the film in the second half of the story is mainly focused on asking for a fiancée and solving the mystery. Although everyone suddenly realized after the truth was revealed, this kind of suspicion has been used many times in the same type of film, and it is definitely not new enough. Usually the film will deliberately create a variety of falsehoods to point the arrow at someone to mislead the audience, and then at the end will give a different answer to tell you "you are wrong".

In fact, spy movies like this kind of secretly calculated by insiders are also the most recent mainstream style. Almost all spy movies are playing "Mission Impossible". Although this old trick is not new, it will naturally be very tricky if it is played well. . For example, in the fifth season of "24 Hours," President Logan was designed as the biggest inner ghost, which is also shocking and extremely innovative. In fact, the inner ghost in "Mission: Impossible 3" and President Logan in the fifth season of "24 Hours" are actually based on the same position. They both flaunt their patriot's position, but they are also intrigued by terrorists and criminals. Conspiracy to obtain intelligence to achieve the purpose of attacking the enemy, such an extremely dangerous unprincipled method is no different from "seeking a tiger's skin", but will eventually threaten oneself.

I still like the cast of the film. All the supporting roles have been arranged for the opportunity to shine. Kong Ruisi, the old face who has never been absent in the Mission Impossible series with Tom, doesn’t bother to talk about it. Asian beauty Maggie Q is absolutely eye-catching in the red dress of the Vatican, and Meyers, the handsome guy who has a wonderful performance in Woody Allen's "Match Point", is also very popular in this film, and as the villain Oscar Although the actor Hoffman has only a few tricks, a few ruthless words made the character of this character stand out. As for the main protagonist, Tom’s performance can only be regarded as quite satisfactory, because the agent machine Ethan Hunt seems to have only Desperately a style. With an excellent cast and beautiful location on the three continents of the United States, Europe and Asia, the film is gorgeous enough, and the recent Hollywood blockbusters have put more and more shots on China, which illustrates China’s influence on the one hand, and on the other hand. It shows that China is a good low-cost location. Although some people are dissatisfied that the film is aimed at the indecent landscape of China, there is no need to deny the existence of the fact. Moreover, the film did not miss the beautiful night scenes of Shanghai. How much economic benefits can be driven by Hollywood's location, I am afraid that this requires a good calculation. If you can really seize this opportunity, it will be beneficial and harmless. Don't let the national pride blindfold your eyes. In "Mission: Impossible 3", the camera is mainly aimed at Shanghai, with Xitang, Zhejiang, which may not be without the promotional effect of tourism, because Hollywood's understanding of China is still limited to Shanghai (Ribauer in the fifth season of "24 Hours" It is caught by the Chinese on a container ship bound for Shanghai), China should attract more Hollywood films to other locations in China to film, so that the world can understand China more comprehensively.

The film is eager to reach the level of the first episode, and it is indeed trying hard to get closer. The first half of the film is also quite exciting. Because the "Mission Impossible" is ahead, it seems quite difficult to surpass. In the second half of the film's story, it seemed a little overwhelming. Especially after Hante came to Shanghai, he didn't have the first half of the constitution at all, and the tactics seemed a little messy. The biggest problem with "Mission Impossible 3" is that the film failed to maintain a uniform level, and the front and back styles are a bit out of touch. Unlike "Mission Impossible", which has maintained the same rhythm from beginning to end, the clues and suspense have not been broken. The director Abbs is an excellent director. The hottest American drama "Lost" comes from his handwriting, but he also follows the TV series in the film. There is a climax in each episode, and there are some breaks between each other, so the film "Mission Impossible 3" also seems to have some flashes, and the overall problem is not uniform. In addition, the film also specially played the family card. The film started with a warm engagement party, and also painted a lot of pen and ink to depict Mr. Hante’s love, hoping to make the tough guy also tender, and the characters become more plump, but in the gun This kind of love seems weak in the sound of the gun, and it can only embellish the film a little bit. Although the film has shortcomings and shortcomings, it still maintains the standard of an entertainment blockbuster. What makes me more pleased is that the film can return to the first episode, instead of being as cool as "Mission Impossible 2". , How much can make the audience think about it.
