I guess Im the only one who liked it and TOTF, it's not that the canera work was bad, thats the style that the director wanted to go, something different than your normal flick, he did this in Colaterral and it worked great there and I felt it worked great this time around too.

Clarkey, it doesnt have the same feel as the show, it's an updated version, if they made it like the show, it would have a cheesy 80's feel straight equipped with the wicker shoes and all. That would be lame. It had a totally different soundtrack, more agressive, I think Audioslave did a bunch of the songs as I heard Chris Cornell's voice a lot.

I guess I am alone on this one, but I was expecting quite a bit and I thought it delivered. Was it the best thing I have ever seen, No, was it the best action movie, No, but I thought it was very solid and I thought Ferrel and Foxx were great, as they brought their own style to the character. Otherwise, people would be complaing that they weren't as good as Don Johnson or Phillip M. Thomas.

But the star of the show was Michael Mann, he added all the style in world, and gave this popular 80's show a great update for the 21st centruy. Anything else would have been cheesy and lame by today's standards.
