As far as the second one goes, I have never seen it but John Woo movies with their slow mow fart in the air style don't really interest me that much. But now that I have seen the third installment in the series, I guess I might try to rent it.
Now onto Mission Impossible III - The Fartening. One of the main reasons I saw this movie was that Capote was in it. Phillip Seymour Hoffman plays a ruthless bad guy who is out to sell some arms and a weapon to some Crimson Jihads. The weapon is so powerful that if it was unleashed on the world, it would destroy it. The weapon is a canister containing the pass gas from none other than Tom Cruise himself. The gas is so bad, that the whole world would be shrouded in a cloud of methane and people would pass out in seconds. Death would follow.
Anyway, Tom Cruise realizes that this would jeopardize his status as a quack and ruin the mission of Scientology which is to make everyone jump on couches at the same time around the world. And so the mission begins.
SPOILERS:
We start off with Agent Ethan Hunt and his knock out wife at some "I'm getting married to Katie Holmes" party. The guests are all having a Kang time when Tom comes in and jumps on the couch and scares everybody out. He gets a phone call and realizes that it is his mission to save another KO from PSH. He proceeds to fly a helicopter through the Wind Turbines outside of Palm Springs and visits Leeroy Turtlehead in the BLM office where we see Leeroy trying to take a turtle. Tom tells Leeroy that he stresses his bowels to hard and doesn't need a pill to help him poo. A fight scene ensues and Leeroy kicks his ass.
Next PSH visits Gomps in downtown LA. They have a nice chat and Gomps mentions that PSH should star in a Ubstudios film. PSH agrees and proceeds to be a bad guy. Some explosions happen and the story is over and everybody in the audience gets blown away by the last shot on the screen which is a shot of Tom Cruises ass.
END SPOILERS
Actually, if you couldn't tell, none of that is based on what goes on in the movie. So what do I think of the movie...It actually isn't that bad. In fact, it is one of the better action films I have scene in a long time. There were times where I was actually interested in the story, or the sequence. That’s the first time that has happened in the theater to me this year. PSH did a good job as a sadistic bad guy bent on farting in front of Tom Cruise and his wife. Tom Cruise does an ok job and the other characters are some what non-stu. Overall, I was impressed with J.J. Abrams style and pacing for the movie. Not bad for a first time director of a movie. I would have to give this movie 3 out of 4 stars...not a bad start to the summer movie season.

Tom: "Come on babe. It will be great. I will go on Oprah and announce my love for you and then I will proceed to make an ass out of myself. So what do you say."
Michelle: "What about Katie and the baby....Suri...or what ever her name is."
Tom: "Come on babe. I'm Tom Cruise. I know the secret to life is somewhere under your pants..Ell Ron Hubbard told me so."
Michelle: "Oh god, not that Dianetics shit again."

Tom: "See Katie...This is the part where my wife in the movie in I have sex. Can you see the expression on her face when I flash my piece?"
Katie: "OMG, your prosthetic is so big. You must be a big bright shinny star. It's too bad it's not like that in real life."
Tom: "What, I can't hear you. My fans are too loud."
Katie "Never mind."

Hoffman: "Do you have a girlfriend. Cause if you do, i'm going to find her. Then i'm going to fart on you in front of her. Then i'm going to fart on her in front of you. Then you’re going to fart on her in front of me. Then i'm going to that bathroom over there and i'm going to take a dump in front of both of you. Then i’m going to wipe in front of....."
