i liked MI3, definitely better than your average summer flick.

not surprisingly it was eons better than MI2, which was just godawful trash. i still probably like the first mission: impossible the most, if only for de palma's visual style and the european locations.

btw interestingly as i knew that jj abrams had done 'lost', i found myself watching mi3 and thinking how it curiously felt like the pilot episodes of lost... only with a bigger budget and guns. there was just something about it that was similar in spirit. later on i checked out what episodes abrams had actually directed on lost, and much to surprise there were only two: the pilot episodes.

as a blind al pacino would say: WHOO-AH!
