Destroys everything that made the series fabulous RATING=A BIG ZERO

Rating: Null/10 (21 May 2004)

In buying the theme song and series name Tom Cruise bought the loyal viewership to the original TV series. The he blew what made the series fabulous right to hell. What a piece of garbage. What made the original series so great was that every character had a strength and a gift that, in lateral motion with the others, allowed the impossible mission to be achieved almost magically, though appearances to the contrary had one believe (until the end) the mission was falling apart.
Tom Cruise's MI used the very premise of the TV series as the hook for his movie. Then he immediately destroys that premise: the team, each member a unique character who, though acting independently, was a essential cog in a well oiled machine.
And the sequels were even worse. What utter garbage. And a blight on the name that was "Mission Impossible"
