Comments 1. Everyone seems to complain that the plot in this film is too confusing,
but just because you don't 'get' it doesn't mean it's a bad movie.
2. I feel this movie is quite underrated. While it’s not as complex as the
 first one and the plot is comparatively much easier to understand, MI 2
has its own positives, especially its action sequences

2. 8.00 - 8.30
Title 1. Mission: Impossible III

Characters 1. •Tom Cruise : Ethan Hunt

•Michelle Monaghan : Julia
2. •Tom Cruise : Ethan Hunt
•Hayley Atwell : Grace
Main points 1. Ethan Hunt (Tom Cruise) has retired from active field work for the
of the story Impossible Missions Force (IMF) and instead trains new recruits while
settling down with his fiance Julia Meade (Michelle Monaghan), a
nurse at a local hospital who is unaware of Ethan’s past. Ethan is
approached by fellow IMF agent John Musgrave (Billy Crudup) about a
mission for him: rescue one of Ethan’s proteges, Lindsey Farris (Keri
Russell), who was captured while investigating arms dealer Owen
Davian (Philip Seymour Hoffman). Musgrave has already prepared a
team for Ethan, consisting of Declan Gormley (Jonathan Rhys Meyers),
Zhen Lei (Maggie Q), and his old partner Luther Stickell (Ving
Rhames), in Berlin, Germany.
2. A next-generation Russian stealth submarine Sevastopol employs an
advanced AI, activated by a two-piece cruciform key. The submarine is
under Bering strait, and the Russian Navy is testing the AI system to
help evade enemy submarines. So far, the system has performed
miraculously, and the submarine has deliberately approached every
navy in the world and remained undetected.

Comments 1. A very good addition to the series. A great movie after the first one.
MI:II is must not be considered an MI movie, but this one here builds
the foundation to take the series further. We get an insight of Hunt’s
life. The driving force of the MI series is Hunt’s dilemmas.
2. Just saw this one in a theatre, and what an adrenaline rush it is. The
 latest Mission Impossible features some of the most incredible stunts
ever put to camera. The story is absolutely exhilarating and continues to
bring new life to a veteran movie franchise.

Comments 1. I enjoyed this so much more then I was expecting to, musical numbers,
humour, there truly is something for the whole family yo enjoy.
2. I usually avoid movies I know will be explicit and include crude humor
because it’s just not my cup of tea. So, right off the bat I was expecting
this is to be absolutely horrible…
