[QUOTE="Deset Gled, post: 9594312, member: 7808"] I know that I've seen almost all of the MI movies. And I know that I enjoyed watching them. But other than the first one I couldn't tell you anything specific about any one of them. They all just kind of blend into "generic action movie" in my memory. And the "generic action" names don't help any. Adding the numbers back would at least give me some reference. Not to get too negative, but "bland action" is kinda the state of Bond for me at this point as well. The wide number of different actors, styles, and takes that I've seen of 007 has made him more generic than iconic. I think figuring out how to make 007 fresh and stand out will be a real uphill battle for Amazon. Of course, he also still seems to make a lot of money as a generic spy, so maybe they won't even try for fresh. If the formula works it's probably not a bad formula. [/QUOTE]
