	Author	Review
United Kingdom	Ian Nathan Empire	"An inspired middle-hour pumped by some solid action gives you an idea how good the franchise could be, but we now live in a post-Bourne, recalibrated-Bond universe, where Ethan Hunt looks a bit lost (…) Rating: ★★★ (out of 5)"	NEU
United States	Todd McCarthy Variety	"Abrams orchestrates the billion-dollar franchise's requisite elements with skill and energy"	POS
United States	Roger Ebert Chicago Sun-Times	"The real objective of all the 'M:I' movies is to provide a clothesline for sensational action scenes. Nothing else matters (…) Rating: ★★½ (out of 4)"	NEU
United States	Peter Travers Rolling Stone	"The thrills come mad hot and wicked sweet (...) Abrams is sincere about wanting the stunts to serve the story (…) Rating: ★★★ (out of 4)"	POS
United States	Manohla Dargis The New York Times	"Mr. Hoffman enlivens 'Mission: Impossible III', which otherwise droops, done in both by the maudlin romance and by Mr. Abrams's inability to adapt his small-screen talent"	NEU
United Kingdom	Peter Bradshaw The Guardian	"[Hoffman] is charmless and unpleasant rather than charismatic (…) Rating: ★ (out of 5)"	NEG
United States	Keith Phipps AV Club	"Yes, it's fundamentally business as usual, but it's the best kind of business as usual, and it finds everyone working in top form."	POS
United States	Owen Gleiberman Entertainment Weekly	"A gratifyingly clever, booby-trapped thriller that has enough fun and imagination and dash to more than justify its existence"	POS
United States	Jeff Otto IGN	"'M:I:III' is well conceived for what it is. It never rises above the level of a typical summer action movie and there's nothing especially memorable about it"	NEU
United Kingdom	Sloan Freer Radio Times	"For all the film's visual intensity, the formula itself feels stale and mechanical, with a flimsy plotline and cardboard characters merely compounding the problem (…) Rating: ★★★ (out of 5)"	NEU
United States	J.R. Jones Chicago Reader	"The result is nearly as good as the best in the series, Woo's 'Mission: Impossible 2'."	POS
United States	Nick Schager Slant	"Impersonally efficient (...) Viscerally entertaining (...) It’s Hoffman who steals 'M:i:III' (…) Rating: ★★½ (out of 4)"	NEU
