But today&#8217;s <a href=\"http:\/\/film.guardian.co.uk\/News_Story\/Critic_Review\/Guardian_review\/0,,1767366,00.html\">review<\/a> of MI3 in The Guardian is staggering for just how bad it is. I don&#8217;t really like Peter Bradshaw but then I don&#8217;t dislike him either. Overall he&#8217;s got reasonable taste in taste in films, but his review today is so far off-beam that I&#8217;ve got to comment on it.<br \/>\nHe gives the film one star and spends a large part of the review slagging off Tom Cruise. I don&#8217;t exactly hold a torch for him, since Scientology, in my book, is exactly what you would come up with if you were a hack SF writer looking to start a religion (<em>that<\/em> episode of South Park was excellent, and if you haven&#8217;t already, the Rolling Stone Scientology article, reprinted in The Observer, of a couple of months ago is well worth your time).<br \/>\nHowever, the film really isn&#8217;t that bad. I wouldn&#8217;t give it five stars &#8211; but as blockbusters go, it&#8217;s ahead of most. Over in The Independent, Robert Hanks <a href=\"http:\/\/enjoyment.independent.co.uk\/film\/reviews\/article361938.ece\">gave the film<\/a> four stars and offers what I consider is a very fair review.<br \/>\nI think the problem is that Peter Bradshaw is slowly becoming a carcicature of himself. Recent letter writers have questioned whether Bradshaw actually likes watching films.
