The poor man really has a stake in the country. The rich man hasn't; he can go away to New Guinea in a yacht. The poor have sometimes objected to being governed badly; the rich have always objected to being governed at all
We love our superheroes because they refuse to give up on us. We can analyze them out of existence, kill them, ban them, mock them, and still they return, patiently reminding us of who we are and what we wish we could be.

I miss the old t.v. series where the team worked together to out wit or set their targets up instead of all the explosions, shootings, etc. that can be seen in any other action show. To me, the movie versions of Mission Impossible might as well be titled, "The Tom Cruise Show".

It is almost as if fictional films aren't based on reality. Next you'll say people can't fight on top of a bullet train while fighting a helicopter or run around the outside of the worlds largest building all willy-nilly.
Amidst the mists and coldest frosts he thrusts his fists against the posts and still insists he sees the ghosts.

I agree, the first movie had more of the feel of the original with the team being more of the story. The rest, and specifically the second one, were so much of a Tom Cruise face-fest that I forgot what the movie was about.
If Tom Cruise didn't need a close-up every third shot and would give some story-time to the rest of the ensemble then I might be more excited about this franchise.
Mindless action movies should be left where they belong, in the 1980's, MI t.v. show was more about outwits than half-wits!

I was actually enjoying the first one up to the point in the early part of the show where they killed everyone off but Cruise. The part that really flushed it once and for all with me was when they had Phelps turn out to be a traitor. Basically they stole the name for an innovative television show to make just another action movie that would have had the same quality without the Mission Impossible label.
