It's rare that a third film gets so much praise that people who had basically ignored the series feel compelled to watch it, but word of mouth suggests that is what's happened.

This is also one of many series to appear to have taken the mantle of superspy from James Bond (the other contender would be Mission Impossible, but really?). Is this even a viable genre these days?
