The story behind MI3

One fine day , Tom Cruise got up and suddenly he felt something was wrong.... so he started thinking what he did for the last few years .... he didnot have a hit for the past 2 years , people were talking about him more because of his punching in air and ground and fighting with oprah in the oprah winfrey show... people were slowly forgettin that he can act too... and so he decided to do something what every actor did in ages whenever his career went down. Do a sequel!! this is what
schwarzenegger did just before jumping into politics ( he came up with Terminator 3!).... The idea here is simple , you should start shooting as soon as possible , story can be written as we shoot , its ok if we don't have a story all we need it publicity and the name gives what we wnat "Mission Impossible 3" .... its just that name made millions of people like me to wait for its release and tom got all he wanted .. people started talking about his work ...his movie again... and hez back... now he didnot have a story so he was not lucky to get a good director and he had to adjust with Jeffrey Abrams. Even in MI2 , the story was just like a typical balayya's movie (infact balayya was pretty much inspired by this movie and made 'Vijayendra Varma' )... the only thing that saved this movie was John Woo and his stunts...... and now even John Woo was also missing.... so now no story , no stunts... so he had to play safe...so just like a typical Bollywood/Tollywood masala movie.. he tried to incorporate everything into it.. love , sentiment , comedy and some action here and there... the only problem is HOllywood guys are not as capable as our directors to incorporate everything into a single movie and the result was a disaster to the core ... MI3 . The whole story was based on something called 'Rabit's foot' and even after seeing that movie iam referring to it as something becoz even the writer/director also didnot know what it is ... so they won't tell us. Action .. well there is one good but very small episode on the Chesapeake Bay Brige was good... well that's the only one worth watching.... love... oh we have loads of it for the first 1/2 hr.... and sentiment ... well i cannot go ahead before describing a scene.... the epitome of senti.... Tom goes into a building to get the so called 'Rabbit's foot' ... now that building has pretty good security so I was expecting some heart poundin action sequences instead ... we see Jonathan Rhys Meyers and Maggie Q waitin for Tom... Maggie closes her eyes and started chanting some prayers and Meyers asks her what she was doin... the answer was simple 'praying' but hey we need to add some senti here so Maggie says somehting like this: ' When i was a kid i had a cat and it used to run away and i used to pray for her to come back and now i am praying for ethan' ....thats it i was in a sense of shock...by the time i could recover Meyers replies ' Teach me that prayer' and thats it i don't remember what happened in the next 15 min after that.... there are lot more senti dialogues and episodes.... so if you like mindless sentiments and want to see the most wierd love story... this is the movie for you.... and afterwards don't blame for for not warning you!!!!
