M:I:III will once again draw in Tom Cruise fans and will now draw in fans of J.J. Abrams and Philip Seymor Hoffman. You can hardly say that the TV show is the reason the previous two films were successful (and the potentially the third might be too).
What a bunch of crap!

I will not attempt to create the term for these "Urban Spin" remakes. And it is.... "B-make" eh.. I guess I'm not really impressed either.. Plus this thread is old which I've just realized.. yeah....

I'm sorry, but to me, the casting does make sense.
Mr Kotter is a former gang member who has gone straight and teaches the current generation of his own former gang.
Ice Cube is a fine choice for a former gang member.

A four year old thread was revived for that? A joke that was already made earlier in the thread?
