Despite some pretty major problems with the first one, I think DePalma at least had the *style* of the series and general tone well. The teaser made the new movie look like John Woo action film meets a Bond flick (speaking of which, am gonna catch TWINE tonight, whoo hoo) and that is not what I want from a M:I movie. Any other thoughts?

I saw it, and I don't think it looks all that good. I didn't really care for the first one, but this one comes off a little too heavy on action and violence. Number 1 at least focused on espionoge.

Also, did you notice that the whole trailer taken out of context would have come off as a sunglasses comercial?
