Anyone saying this was even a decent movie needs to give their head a shake. I used to be a big fan of John Woo, but when he tries to get all artsy (dramatic music/slowmo at absurd romantic interludes) and doesn't focus at all on what works - action and lots of it. The bottom line is that this is not even close to MI1...At the very best it is a very bad Bond. A total of 15 minutes of action means too much John Woo, and not enough John Woo!!
