The M I movies are amazingly well-made action packed star vehicles...that bore me to tears.

I am not shitting on them, just they are not for me. They are successful and have a huge following.

What does the author expect?

"Could you please make your big budget movie franchise more like the low budget, formulaic TV show even though the majority of the M I films fan base have no idea it exists."

It's like they come up with the action sequences first and then task the poor writers to make sense of it.

Well... actually....

Pretty sure in a recent making of on YouTube, they mentioned doing that.
