Okay, I just saw Mission Impossible 4: Ghost Protocol at the theaters. I spent $8 (it was a matinee) and left disappointed. Overall I thought it was worthy of a Netflix rental or pay per view pop at $3 but not $8 or the eye gouging $10 that movies charge these days for a night time visit. But I digress.
What did I not like? Plot was old with nuclear bombs and Russians (very cold war-ish), the action especially the final scene was ...boring. Tom Cruise fighting an older villain and both looking like they had arthritis at the end limping around, and the theme of "disavowed" as if it is new. I thought the MI team was allows "disavowed" if they messed up...so why the big deal about this time?
Don't get me wrong I appreciate the work that went into MI 4. It just was not as good as some of the other MI films.
To be fair I liked the cat fight scene between the good girl and the bad girl (but it was too short) and the funny Brit computer guy and the high altitude scenes on the Dubai hotel were interesting, But to be honest I think the MI series has run its course. I also saw Sherlock Holmes: A Game of Shadows and it was much much better IMHO. I left the theatre really excited about the outcome and the way it played out on the big screen. It was great!!! PS Previews for Red Tails look great as well.
What does this have to do with Fantasy Football you ask?
All too often we get carried away in the hype of something FF wise. Whether it be Cam Newton (deservedly) or Terrell Owens (not so much), the bottom line is we need to evaluate things on our own and not believe all the hype or pundits. Take the time to ask yourself "is this a real trend or just a story? Do I like this or am I just carried away by the media". Just like a movie with a ton of build up (MI 4) you should evaluate things on your own. Sometimes the best things come in small packages (Ray Rice anyone).
