Bond...James Bond. OOPS! Wrong movie, guys!

Rating: 1/10 (5 July 2000)

What happened? I loved the tv series. I liked the first movie. The twists and turns kept me guessing until the end, and I had to go back and watch it again to truly get every detail. This movie wasn't a sequel to Mission:Impossible, not a sequel to the movie or to the tv series. It was a Bond movie. They'd should've just gotten Pierce Brosnan to play Ethan, changed a couple of names, and there it is, another bad Bond spy flick. I was disgusted at the ridiculously overdone action sequences. The fight scene at the end is laughable. Many in the theater I was in left before the end. Perhaps the most disgusting part of this film is Ethan's love interest. This is what makes it most like a cheesy Bond flick. Ethan meets girl, and within 10 minutes they're all over each other. Her character was supposed to be an expert thief, but she ends up being the dumb damsel in distress. Her thief skills NEVER EVEN COME INTO PLAY AT ALL!! Even the cool gadgets and technology weren't interesting this time around. The exploding sunglasses at the beginning that were shown in slow motion as they blew up just seemed so cliche. This is the worst movie to come out since The Postman or Armageddon. Don't see this one. Save yourself some cash and go rent a movie. Anything is better than this disgusting work. I hope they lose a lot of money on this one. Maybe then they'll learn their lesson that they can't lure us in with expensive special effects and a really bad plot.
