I saw this 2 part "movie" last night on French TV.
I obviously can't comment on how the actors "sounded" as I was seeing it dubbed into french.
In the french version however, all the characters sounded like they where in character (earlier reviews suggested that Dorf didn't sound like he cared!?).
I admit that I was often thinking "oh it's Jason Bourne", but really it is just the amnesia (and trained assassin) that link the 2.
But this didn't detract from the experience, they are different enough not to step on each other's toes.
Some have complained that the distances traveled are "unbelievable", remember TV and Cinema is about suspension of disbelief, so these things generally don't worry me too much.
Val Kilmer (we don't see him enough) was excellent as the bad guy. Good on him to take the plunge into "evil parts", I look forward to more "evilness" from him, which should be good.
I haven't read the comics, but I would agree that the end of the 2 part series leaves me wanting to know what happens from here. So I guess a full mini series is on the cards at some point in the future ??? Who knows.
I enjoyed the plot, and it was a good way to spend a few hours in front of the TV.
