but hey, like i said, i was gonna watch MI:3 because of The Hoff (David is no longer worthy of the moniker). being disappointed that he (spoiler alert!) dies in the movie, i wanted to watch it again just in case, you know, the ending could be different and Loony Tune dies instead.
then again, i also got my eardrums ruptured as this movie provides a lot of literal bang for your buck. upping the sound and visual fx ante always works when you have a flimsy plot (he has to retrieve some bunny appendage or else his girl dies, but what does this appendage do? maybe we're not cleared for that information). still, it does feel like an Alias episode (hello, Greg Gunberg), with the twists and turns and double-crossing, down to the timid tech-geek (Simon Pegg from Shaun of the Dead mirrors the Marshall Flinkman role - which was originally supposed to go to funnyman Ricky Gervais). at least no one from Lost showed up. not bad, Mr. JJ Abrams.
for a couple of hours, you will forget all the last eight months or so of Cruise Craziness. too bad he didn't perform this routine [clickme!] in the film. then i might believe he really earned my money. but sorry, Loony Tune, Philip Hoffman gets it. the man is deliciously evil.
