Whether or not Cruise is convicted in the court of public opinion, the film is still pretty damn good.

rt, if you say it's a good movie, I trust you :).  I never really pay attention to box office to decide the movie I want to see.  The only time I actually tracked box office was for BBM.  Just felt that is an interesting article, particular with the poll information.

Between United 93 and MI3, I think I probably will watch United 93 if I can somehow manage to see the movie with my husband, unless someone offers to baby sit :).


Edit:

Since part of MI3 was shot in China, I am not sure if I should feel intrigued or dreadful to see the movie.  Most of Hollywood movies portrait China in a way that I honestly don’t recognize.  The way people talk, dress, and act in the movie look phony to me.  I hope MI3 breaks that stereotype I have.

I agree. I went to see it with my son tonight, and apart from one scene of exposition (hey! Look! I'm here to tell you what's going on!) I thought it was edge-of-the-seat exciting. I don't like Cruise, but that doesn't stop him being a terrific actor, and this was Cruise at his best. I won't bother to buy the DVD, but it was a great evening's entertainment.

Wow, great -- so glad that you enjoyed it.  I guess we've seen it all as CGI action goes, but this one really kept me up and excited with a lack of computer effects and just good, old-fashioned stunts, choppers and guns!

Posiedon, on the other hand....  Ugh (read: yuck).   >:(

While was a regular viewer of the TV series, "Mission Impossible," and a fan of the show, too. There is no way that I am going to spend money see any movie where Tom Cruise is the star. Yes, he is a good actor; but, he is stupid and belongs to a pseudo-religion created by a science fiction writer.

I have talked to several people who had been members of Scientology and they told me how money could give one high ranking status in the cult.

I looked beyond Tom Cruise the weirdo and saw Ethan the character, which was played well, and I must say I really enjoyed the film. I hesitated about seeing it but I'm glad I went. It had some nice, touching scenes and some terrifically acted moments from Cruise. The plot keeps your attention and the characters are interesting. I won't say much else 'cause I don't wanna spoil anything for those who haven't seen it. I would have liked to have seen more of Phillip S. H.'s character, but overall I was very entertained and I recommend it.
