--- Quote ---Rottentomatoes emails me every week with movie reviews. For MI3, it said something like, nevermind it's nonsensical plot, it's gotten the best reviews of the series. Even if I didn't dislike Tom Cruise, I try and limit how many movies I see where I know going into it that it's gonna be ridiculous. My summer popcorn movies are gonna be X-3, Superman, possibly Poseidon and The Da Vinci Code.

I may have to wait for DVD on this one.
Saw this on CNN. It's interesting, Tom's weird behaviors started to impact his earning power.

Cruise's popularity on the skids?
Overexposed or odd, Cruise's behavior may be costing him millions

LOS ANGELES, California (Reuters) -- Powerful Hollywood friends of Tom Cruise rallied to his defense Wednesday as a new poll suggested the actor's odd behavior in recent months may have cost him millions of dollars at the box office.
Days after his latest movie, "Mission: Impossible III," opened to lower-than-expected domestic ticket sales, a USA Today/Gallup poll showed Cruise's star power has dimmed considerably during the past year in the eyes of the public.
In the poll of 1,013 adults conducted over the weekend the film opened in theaters, 35 percent had a favorable opinion of Cruise, while 51 percent had an unfavorable opinion.
That's a major turnaround from last year when Cruise's previous film, "War of the Worlds," opened and his poll ratings were 58 percent favorable and 31 percent unfavorable.
USA Today reported that Cruise's popularity decline with women was especially sharp, slipping from a 56 percent favorable rating in 2005 to 35 percent now.
The poll prompted a concerted defense by Cruise's supporters, who insisted the actor's popularity and standing as one of Hollywood's most bankable stars was undiminished.
"Tom Cruise is one of the most important stars ever in the motion picture business," Universal Studios President Ron Meyer, a close friend and former agent, told Reuters. "I don't know anybody who has had the consistent success rate that Tom has. And nobody should be counting him out."
"Mission: Impossible III" grossed $47.7 million in its first three days at the North American box office, well short of the $60 million to $70 million expected by industry watchers despite generally warm reviews and an extra-wide opening in more than 4,000 theaters.

Don't let that box office report stop you from seeing a terrific action film -- since when is $48 million such a disappointment? Of course, this cutthroat business did the same thing when King Kong's opening fell slightly below expectations.
Whether or not Cruise is convicted in the court of public opinion, the film is still pretty damn good.
