Which is better? Miami Vice the 2006 movie or Miami Vice the 1980s series.
To be honest I have only vague memories of the 1980s series when I was a ***. But the 2006 movie kicks ass. I'm sorry, but I still think that deep down the reason most people didnt like the 2006 movie was because it was nothing like the 1980s series. They missed the pastel colors and kakis and endless action from the series.
Personally I think Michael Mann (who co produced the series) deserves a lot of credit for having the discipline to create a movie that was more sympatico to the Miami of today rather than the Miami of the 80s. I think its great that he decided to put some originality into the movie.
The movie is beautifully shot, the movie is dead serious. It is way darker and more gritty than the series. No stupid banter between Crocket and Tubbs. The movie is mostly plotting with very little action and I like that. I also like the undercover cop jargon that was used in the dialouge. It didnt take time to explain things. It made the movie seem more realistic - like you are really there.
