Say what you like about Tom Cruise; Ethan Hunt kicks super-terrorist booty. I thought both MI films were class. The first one was even slightly, dare I say it, intelligent.
There' s nothing wrong with completely over-the-top, mind blowing action if it' s acknowledged as such. The zipcord infiltration sequences were amazing, particularly in Mission Impossible. I guess the subsequent relegation of infiltration scenes like the everything-sensitive room to the realms of cliche mediocrity is testament to how cool and influential that kind of film was when it first came out.
...I didn' t see any doves in the trailer, though. Guessy Johnny Woo' s out of the picture. (A quick glance at imdb says I' m right :D) Guess somebody' s gotta give Uwe Boll some competition. Please let Metroid be scrapped, even if it is by Woo, I can' t bear the possibility that Samus will be murdered forever by her filmic counterpart. Still, it' ll be interesting to see how bad Spyhunter is going to be. Just an assumption - they have lots of plot to flesh out and they' ve hired the Rock to star. Nice.
