That Philip Seymour Hoffman impression was amazing

I basically found Philip Seymour Hoffman only after his death and now it's a huge delight to see him on screen. Such a talented guy.

This movie has my favorite opening to a film ever!

I'm surprised at how much people have completely forgotten about mission Impossible III. Its got brilliant action scenes, great locations, and a great villain in PSH and the introduction of Simon Pegg's character Benji. It's bizarre how forgotten it is. To me its the best of the series easily

I don't get the hate for Tom Cruise. He can pull off dramatic roles very well (Magnolia, Collateral), comedic roles very well (Tropic Thunder) and he is completely dedicated to giving it his all in action movies with stunts.

MI:3 was so underrated, I enjoyed the wall to wall action scenes.

Nice Hoffman impersonation.

Personally, I find this Mission Impossible my favorite. It brought an intensity, urgency and grittiness that I feel was missing in Ghost Protocol where it was a lot more playful. It wasn't just, someone was going to blow up the world. The threat was Hoffman, who was commanded scenes effortlessly and was super memorable and evil. The opening sequence with Cruise tied up speaking to Hoffman is so well done. Each action set piece, yes, they were back to back, but boy were they done well and always pushed the envelope a little (bathroom sequence, bridge, parachuting, helicopter through those turbines, the whole bomb in head business). Anyways, truly an awesome Mission Impossible. While you may not have liked it as much as I haha, still really enjoyed your thoughts. Thanks for doing what you do, Chris.

That Phillip Seymour Hoffman impression was.......you're the real MVP : " ) I can't wait for your Comic Con breakdown video if you're making one

My favourite scenes are the ones with Philip Seymour Hoffmann. He was so intimidating, scary and a psycho who takes no shit from anyone especially in that plane scene. Man he's as scary as Heath Ledger's Joker.

To me this remains my favourite MI film(i just saw 5). Hoffman killed it in this movie, he genuinely got under my skin, and you could tell he made Ethan squirm. Even though the stakes aren't as high as MI4 and mI5, they are a lot more personal in this film, and seeing Ethan driven to the point where he's in tears is something makes the film all the better. A very underrated film despite the positive reception it's gotten.

I know i will catch hell but i actually enjoyed Mission 3 more than ghost.More in part to hoffman's performance. His villain was much more intimidating than the one in ghost. Is there anymore else out there feel the same.

Just started the MI franchise this week and just finished part 3. This movie was awesome. Abram’s direction was great, the action was awesome, and Hoffman was incredible. Don’t understand why this one didn’t get as much love.

This one and Ghost protocol are the best in the series!

Damn brotha!.. That was rite on with the Hoffman impression!!. I was like fawk where'd that come from?!?! .. outta nowhere.. U nailed bro! lol

To me, MI3 is the best film in the series. It had the most menacing villain, fantastic action scenes, a great sense of camaraderie, and an emotional weight in Ethan's romantic relationship. The opening scene in particular is terrifying. A+ from me!

This one should have been rated higher

I agree with the character building stuff n all but as an action movie fan I just love how intense this movie was in tone and every seperate action scene is close to my heart and how immensely good Cruise was in them..and surely that running sequence in the end was epic...personally my favourite one in terms of scene by scene action.

Chris, you need to watch the new Batman v. Superman trailer! It's so fucking AWESOME!

I have only seen Mission Impossible 1, 2, 3 and I gotta say this ones my favorite. It's a lot darker then the other two, it becomes a story where Ethan is at the breaking point of his career. I loved that.

I go into the comments, and all I see is people praising BvS. It's a sad world...

For a while, this movie had been my personal favourite of the series

This film is my favourite of the franchise. It's writing isn't perfect but it's still very competent in that regard and very entertaining.

After MI2, I thought this was the perfect return. I loved the villain, and the intensity of the action. I like the darker tone as compared to the others. I also love how we get to see the real Ethan Hunt. I’d give it a 10/10

Man this was such an improvement from 2nd film. The opening scene pulls you in right away!

1. Rogue Nation 2. Ghost Protocol 3. MI: 3 4. Mission Impossible 5. Mission 2

I just saw 3 and loved how fast paced it was. I watched 1, 3 and 4 last night and 5 today. I did notice that car stopping by his face and it scared the shit out of me. This movie did something not alot of movies recently have done for me (Mad Max did it tho) which was it made my heart pound and had me scared. This was due to Abrams direction and how fast paced the movie was, which I loved. I think it took away from 4 and then 5 though, so I'll have to see them again

Damn great Hoffman impression. Speaking of Hoffman, the dude was an incredible actor. RIP.

You are so smart with your reviews and you basically explained in detail everything what I feel about this movie. I used to not love it so much because it didn't really give the characters time to breath but the action is just mind blowing that this film is definitely on the top in the series.

I always placed the Mission Impossible movies in order of 4, 1, 3, and 2. However I just rewatched MI3 the other day as it popped up on Showtime and I have to say I absolutely love it! I think if you hold the series to just 1,3, and 4 then you have a terrific trilogy right there. I do agree with you on the over fast paced movement of the movie that Abrams did. However one thing even better is that Phillip Seymour Hoffman is the best villain in the entire series I believe. When Hoffman is talking about killing whoever he loves and then killing him that pushes Hunt past his limits to almost throwing him out of a plane, it is absolutely fascinating! By the way, you did an excellent impression of Hoffman and I loved the Masters of the Web panel at SDCC! More importantly, thank you for all you do! I know that there are some things on the web that are just pure hate, but you are one of the bright spots where I can turn to and just have a blast watching your content because we do have very similar tastes in movies. Anyways, just wanted to say thank you for all you do and keep up the great work!

I love your reviews man. Definitely on point. I also love that Jet Force Gemini poster in the background. That game was so underrated.

A pretty fair review on M:I-3. When I first saw this on opening day back in 2006, I was just happy to see a Mission:Impossible movie that is... well good. M:I-2 really left a stigma on this franchise that M:I-3 really wiped away clean. Being from Britain, I was really happy to see Simon Pegg in this film, and I am glad he stuck around for the fourth one. Action scenes are amazing, and what is shown in the acting department is good enough. My gripe with this film is the villian, the villians featured in M:I to date have been weak and Hoffman's Owen Davien finally shows what is wrong with the villians in this film. Hoffman was a great actor, but here he was so OTT that it was hillarious. M:I-3 is a good film, and I for one am glad it got a bit better as it went along. However the excellence of M:I-1 still have yet to be matched.

awesome review Chris also fantastic Hoffman impression

1. Fallout 2. Ghost protocol 3. Rogue nation 4. Mission impossible 3 5. Mission impossible 6. Mission impossible 2

MI4 > MI3 > MI1 > MI2

Ghost Protocal > MI > MI3 > MI2

This was, by far, the best one of the series.

MI3 has always been my favorite. I think JJ Abrams did a great job with this movie. JJ Abrams like to always bring this friends and family vibe to his movies. I think it works really well here. The conversations between Luther and Ethan are fantastic and do good a job of showing that theses guys have been working together and have been friends for a long time. Chris is right they don't let up in this installment. The awesome Vatican scene is followed by the awesome plane scene which is followed by the awesome bridge scene.

I love when Ethan is explaining to his wife how to reload a gun; "It's just like the batteries in the flash light, in the KITCHEN". lol

Your impressions are getting better man

Chris, don't make watching and reviewing the latest Batman V Superman trailer an impossible mission.

Still my favorite Mission Impossible film. Best villain out of all 6 films and the best opening scene.

Great review Chris. This is my second fave in the Series! A+

I was listening to your video while reading some news, but that hoffman impression made me look up! that was great!

MI3 is one of my favorites.

Chris Stuckmann Brilliant PSHoffman imitation(RIP) I'm so glad you mention that plane scene monologue as well as the rabbits foot run! For what this film did for the M:I franchise, and the careers of Abrams and Cruise, its a totally under appreciated, little talked about gem in the shadow of Ghost Protocol.

od, your impression of Huffman was amazing! lol & I believe that the villain didn't have a background on purpose to keep him mysterious

RIP Phillip Seymour Hoffman.

Chris! Do A reaction video of the new Batman V Superman trailer!!

Waiting soooooo impatiently for the trailer reviews

Mi3 is one of the best in the franchise. It’s was a HUGE step up from Mi2. There are scenes of remorse, and character building but not through the whole movie . Mi4 is probably my favorite because of the character building and the pacing . I would have to agree with the villains , there evil for no reason and maybe that’s the point . Some people just want chaos and no conversation can happen . I think that’s what Christoper Nolan tried to explain with The Joker . It’s just a thought .

Holy crap! I had to pause the video of compliment you on your Phillip Seymour Hoffman impression. That was impressive!

Great review Chris... But why didn't you talk about that AMAZING Vatican secuence when we finally saw the MIF working AS A TEAM??!! That was by far the best part of the movie and not even a mention? Fail!

5:31 - 5:44 Great PSH impression!

Great Review, Chris! I just watched this movie again and your critique is dead on!

Mission Impossible 3, 4, and 5 are all amazing

Just watched this movie motivated by your review. I always wanted to watch it but i didnt know if it was worth my time. I must say is a very good action movie. Reminds me a lot to the first of the franchise, the elements of MI are there but they make a good plot and very interesting way of filming. Excellent time watching it. Recommended.

J.J. Abrams is quickly becoming one of my favorite directors. I loved both Star Treks and Super 8. Mission: Impossible III is his least best, but it's still a good movie. He's going to nail The Force Awakens.

Yesss! I was hoping you'd mention my favourite part of the film: that running scene.

Im surprised you didnt mention the scene where instead of showing the scene where ethan went to steal the rabbit's foot they showed his team having a not really interesting conversation...i think thats one of the main flaws

Best mi movies 1-MI:4 2:Ml:3 3-MI:1 4-MI.2

luv when he puts "we are family " on the radios....downright hilarious! !!

There aren't enough Philip Seymour Hoffman impressions going around - you nailed it.

Since you have really set me enjoying KZfaq film reviews... and I adore getting Stuckmannized (whether I agree with a review or not, you are always worthwhile)... I thought I discovered another terrific, well-informed KZfaq film reviewer today... and then he seriously disappointed me by becoming quite unseemly in a review (insulting and patronising his own audience rather than reviewing a film). All in the space of one day from respect to disappointment. So I suddenly discover just now a new Stuckmann review. I'm about to watch it now... but it could not be more welcome to turn my disappointment into joy :) I don't know if I'll agree or not... but I know you will not disappoint and you will inform.

hey Chris, if you ever can, can you review at least a few of the following please?: Watchmen, Children of Men, Gladiator, Incredibles, Harry Potter 1-7 Pt 1, Usual Suspects, Silence of the Lambs, Heat, The Town, Equilibiurm, DC animated movies, Blue Valentine, Wrestler and a Stanley Kubrick series like you did for David Fincher? Continue being awesome

Thanks for the video Chris! I can't wait for Ghost Protocol :)

That impression, was.. really good.

JJ used to direct TV shows! All these details... This is what I like about your reviews man...

so far this is my favorite. i'm just starting ghost protocol. it's great but 3 is still top dog for me right now. love the new energy it brings and the tone

Chris Stuckmann Your Ving Rhames and Philip Seymour Hoffman impressions 👌

Omg your Hoffman impression. Nice!

It's probably my favourite. I was supposed to see a special early showing of Clerks 2 but I screwed up. They gave me a golden ticket and I saw this. Loved it. Later my friend told me something that kind of messes up the entire film. When Luther says Ethan's name, Hoffman's character's head is being held out the plane. It's so loud that he couldn't possible hear anything. Still, I love it. JJ is the best at restarting series after series (at least audience/moneywise).

Loving the shirt Chris

MI: III is hands down my favorite mission impossible movie in the entire series so far.

1) fallout 2) MI3 3) Rogue nation 4) Ghost protocol 5) MI 6) MI2

Just watched it this evening. It was the start of a great run for Mission Impossible! Dead Reckoning was amazing as well. Ghost Protocol was my absolute favorite.

Watching this video made me realise how much I love MI3. I haven't seen it in a while but I'm definitely going to check it out again before Rogue Nation comes out

Your shirt is ironic considering Frieza got a new form in the last movie.

Got this review in my recommended and it's remarkable how Stuckmann nailed the very same weaknesses as a director that Abrams would show over a decade later when he worked on the Disney Star Wars Trilogy.

Today marks the 10th anniversary of the film!!

Amazing impression

Review the new Batman v Superman trailer pls!

Miss this Chris

Dat shirt tho...

That shirt is awesome!

That was such a good impersonation of Hoffman!!! :)

that was an awesome Phillip Seymoore Hoffman impression

Chris your impression of Philip Seymour Hoffman was uncanny spot on.......so sad mr Hoffman is no longer with us R.I.P.

Awesome review! Did you see the new BvS trailer?

Your Philip Seymour Hoffman impression is really good!

Oh yeah. The action in this movie is spectacular. Especially when he has to swing from one building to another. It is just great! But I would agree that some aspects of this movie do not work entirely, so I would give it 7/10 stars or a B. Thank you, Chris. Great review as always. Huge fan! :)

Omg ur impersonation was spot on!!!! I laughed soo hard. Keep up the fantastic work lol 😂😂

I recently rewatched it and it doesn’t quite hold op to the more recent entries. It almost feels like the franchise was still trying to find its footing back then. However I do give this movie credit for shifting the focus of the series for once. This is pretty much the only MI in which Tom Cruise actually plays a character and the only one that has a memorable villain. But it suffers from an over-reliance on shaky-cam (something Abrams definitely improved on) and the action set pieces aren’t anywhere as exciting and memorable as they are in other installments. I‘m intrigued as to how the two final movies will turn out. I certainly would like it if they found a way to incorporate some of the qualities of MI3 into the finale of the franchise.

So glad you're giving attention to this movie, it's like the forgotten Mission Impossible film or something. In all honesty, I believe this film to be at least as good as Ghost Protocoll.

I love this one! It's definitely one of the best! I thought the part when Cruise swings from the one building then lands on the other was a great scene and stunt. I had a lot of fun with this film.

Chris Stuckmann where did you get your shirts plus all those mini movie posters love your vids btw

My favorite scenes are that torture scene with which the movie begins and the running scene. During the running scene, I was waiting for a quick cut or pan to his back, but that went on for like 30 secs. I was honestly surprised.

"No humanity" This film has the best portrayal of Ethan Hunt as a character through his relationships with the ones he loves. Never before has the series allowed Tom Cruise to show such emotional depth with his role. For the "whole the side characters didn't get enough development", the side characters only matter as much as they related to Ethan's character.

Philip Seymour Hoffman graduation from my high school in 1985. He was so great in this movie

Good Luck, Chris!
