    something blowing up when the protagonist is running away
    is a staple of the action genre

    I wonder if someone will say . . . "you look like *****"

    I think Tom Cruise sprints in almost all his movies.

    It's contractual.

    He's one of the few actors left who perform their own stunts. It's very admirable iyam.

    To my knowledge Bond never got married and retired at the end of a movie. I don't have a problem with these being stand alone films. But if you're using the same actor and character as the previous, and you pretty much put a book end on the franchise in the last film, then some sort of explanation is warranted I think. I would have much preferred they start over with a new agent.

    a couple of observations and thoughts:

    1. Even number Mission Impossible movies have Cruise with long hair and a half black chick.

    2. That's a sick song to kill zombies to.

    3. What is the over/under on prosthetic face masks used in the movie?

    Bond was married twice (On Her Majesty's Secret Service and You Only Live Twice).

    If you include "Never Say Never Again", with Sean Connery, in your list of Bond films, he retired at the end (or so he claimed).

    I'm not the biggest Bond fan and haven't really seen the older ones, but from what I've read his wife in Secret Service was killed during the wedding and his wife in Never Say Never was part of an assignment.

    It's not even a big deal breaker for me, that they may not even explain what happened to her. And I guess it wasn't completely clear that he retired at the end of MI3. But regardless Ghost Protocol just looks like a rehash of elements of the other films. I'd like to be wrong. I enjoyed the 1st and 3rd.

    Felix was not only killed in Licence to Kill, but he was resurrected a black/hispanic man.

    How many bad guys in this movie will have to bend down so that Cruise can kick them in the face?
