Mission: Impossible III scored mostly positive reviews among critics, and is presently the highest rated Mission Impossible film at the Internet Movie Database, where it is rated 6.9/10. Currently, it sits at a 71% approval rating at rottentomatoes.com, the best rating of the trilogy. On Ebert and Roeper, Richard Roeper gave it a 'thumbs up', while Roger Ebert gave it a marginal 'thumbs down'.
Opening in 4,054 theaters all across the United States (the 4th largest opening ever), the film easily topped the box-office in its opening weekend. It made $16.6 million on its opening day. It made $47.7 million in its opening weekend, a solid opening yet well below industry expectations and almost $10 million lower than the franchise's previous installment. On its second weekend, the sequel remained number 1 with $25 million (ahead of Poseidon's $22.2 million). The movie remained in the Top 10 at the box office for the first 6 weeks of its release.

Korean Trap! / 한국인 실수 교정
Common mistakes Korean speakers make.
한국인이 자주 하는 실수를 알아봅시다.
한국어로 '재미있다'를 직역하면 'fun'을 형용사처럼 써서 "very fun"이라고 하기 쉽습니다. 하지만 영어에서 'fun'은 원래 명사이기 때문에 "a lot of fun"이 자연스럽고, 형용사로 쓰고 싶다면 "entertaining" 또는 "enjoyable"을 사용하는 것이 좋습니다. 영화 리뷰나 감상을 말할 때 특히 주의하세요!
한국어에서 '지난 주말에'를 영어로 옮길 때 전치사 'at'이나 'on'을 붙이는 실수를 자주 합니다. 'last weekend', 'last Friday' 같은 표현에는 전치사가 필요 없습니다. 영화 관람 경험을 이야기할 때 이 점을 꼭 기억하세요!
영화 평점을 이야기할 때 'approval rating'이 올바른 표현입니다. 한국어의 '신선도'를 직역해서 'fresh rate'라고 하면 원어민은 이해하기 어렵습니다. 또한 격식 있는 리뷰 표현에서는 'got' 대신 'received'나 'scored'를 쓰는 것이 더 적절합니다.
