ORIGINAL: Toby Dammit ...for a proper film version of Mission: Impossible, so far it's just been Tom Cruise playing at being James Bond rather than the ensemble cast and role playing of the series. While we're on the subject of Bond, benskelly probably shouldn't get his movie news from the Sun newspaper. Okay, you may have a point on the beard part...but the budget being $100 million less than it was on QOS is a fact. And the only location outside the UK is South Africa. While we get actual big city locations in Bourne and M:I, the Bond series seems to take place more and more on construction sites and quarries, in deserts, all isolated locations and enclosed Pinewood sets - why? Because the producers are cheap and greedy and are not following Cubby's rule of putting every dime right back on the screen. The days of "Bigger, better, Bond and beyond" are over with, they seem determined to make Bond smaller and duller. This, from a longtime fan of the series - I want Bond to be the best. This trailer shows you can do all the Bondian things: glamour, beautiful girls, great stunts, gadgets AND make if feel fresh and up to the minute - but no, the Bond series wants to be "serious", rely on "drama"... Zzzzzz.
