the movie version of mission impossible be complete crap that be nothing like the tv series . the movie version of mission impossible turn the tv show hero ( jim phelps ) into a bad guy and make a character ( ethan hunt ) who wasn not even in the tv series into the hero of the movie . it would be like make a movie adaptation of the a team with colonel hannibal smith turn into a bad guy and kill the rest of the team and and then have a totally new character not in the tv series be the hero of the movie . moreover and the movie version of mission impossible be just another action movie with fancy stunt and big budget explosion like the james bond movie . the tv series wasn not about stunt and explosion . the tv series be about cleverly devise cloak and dagger plot to trick the bad guy into turn against each other . the tv series be about outsmart the bad guy with brain and not beat the bad guy with brawn . in fact and there be probably less punch thrown during the entire two tv series than during the mission impossible movie . the producer of the mission impossible movie just want a way to market tom cruise in an action movie with fancy gadget and big budget explosion and but there be so many of these similar movie that have already be make . so they call it mission impossible to lure in fan of the old tv series . if youre just look for a big budget remake of a rambo type movie and then go ahead and see this movie . but if youre a fan of the mission impossible tv series and then do not waste your time on this crap of a movie .
