Rating: 3.0
a ok movie that has nothing to do with series really
If you take this movie on it's own without the knowledge of the original series you can enjoy it on the level of a good spy movie. But if you want what the original series was about: a TEAM of people fighting evil international forces who want to destroy democracy , then forget about it. And that holds true for the sequels as well. Instead of fighting international badguys; it is all traitors and other evil american stereotypical villians. Which is ok for this movie, but it makes the other two sequels just lame. There is a whole world of bad evil forces out there and all we get is traitors and evil americans? Still in spite of that fact this movie is a good spy movie and it's well made on every other level. The blu ray looks great and is well worth owning if you want this movie. Still how lame is it that they didn't have a real character driven team in any of the three movies?
