Good Movies But ...
Peter Graves/Jim Phelps did not deserve to become a turncoat. Very disappointed in this aspect of the movie. As a matter of fact it rather pisses me off. Sure am hoping that the Bruce Geller "team" did not write off on that aspect of the script/film rights. And yes, sure he COULD have done that but he never did in the TV series so why do this just to create the Ethan Hunt character as the lead? Why not just have him get killed in the first movie and have Hunt fill his shoes.The movies never take on the same character of the TV series and frankly I wish that they had just put out an action thriller using a different name. NOT true to the original concept. The only thing similar is that Ethan gets to hear the mission via some clever recording as per the TV show. Big deal. That is where it all ends.As an action thriller movie the series is decent. Acting, however, is too camp. When will our USA studios stop using worn out script formats that are rah rah, lets all high five and yell out after something goes right. It's really getting old, folks.
