Summary: Rock 'em, sock 'em action
Review: "Mission: Impossible 2" suffers from a bungled storyline, but the action sequences are the best I've seen since "The Matrix". The DVD extras are a nice touch too, so overall this is a good buy.

Summary: Horrible, Horrible movie!
Review: MI2 is the worst movie I've seen in years. Horrible story; stupid, cartoonish characters; bad editing; bad cinematography; plot hole; annoying music; and the list just goes on and on.From the openning, MI2 tries to convince viewers that Tom Cruise is some kind of indistructable super man; and tries to prove this point through out the movie: from killing a dozen bad guys without break a sweat to collide in the mid air with a another person and get right back up. Why did Tom Cruise recruit that girl is beyond me, since she has done nothing through out the film, except to make Cruise look like James Bond. If she was anything, she was more of a burden. The story and characters are cartoonish and idiotic. Nosense plot. Cruise seems to know before hand which bad guy he's going to meet, and has a mask of that particular enemy ready. Slow motion artist my behind. All those slow motions really slows down the action. Too much editings. Every action sequence seems to have been edited a dozen times from a dozen angles. And how am I going to enjoy the action, when I all I can see is Tom Cruise's face. Very dumb shots, like a dove through the flame, wow, our hero is coming, hope is coming, weeee! Jhon Woo's obsession with close up shots is at an all time high. I have never seen this much close up shots in my life. "Slow motion arts" are horrible, it took tom cruise half a minute to pick up a gun. This music [stunk]. The only music that's listenable is the intro music. Sound effects are horrible. Guns, bullets, cars, mortocycles hurts my ears. The final battle scence is very boring. If you really want to watch good fighting, go see crounching Tiger, Hidden Dragon, that movie doesn't have a dozen "slow motion art" to slow down the action. Plus, in CTHD, battles were shot from one or two prespectives, thus satisfying like an opera, unlike in MI@, in which the battle were shot from a dozen different angles and were edited a hundred times, and the final product was Tom's facial Gallery.

Summary: 1 is not low enough!
Review: This movie just plain sucked. The special effects were okay, but the stunts on the motorcycles were crap. Look close and they magically switch between street tires and dirt tires. The story was weak at best and the slow motion was so abundant that it is a joke.

Summary: Poor Movie in a Great DVD
Review: If you want a great DVD, this one will not disapoint you. It has a lot of extras, cool 5.1 sound. But as a personal advice, buy another DVD. You know, at this time when you can get Gladiator or X-Files Seasons or matrix or... is not enough to be a great DVD. A DVD must have good movie inside. I'm really sorry that a great director like jhon Woo gets involved in this movie... I have been thinking about this a long time, how a movie with so many explosions, great action, great background (TV Series) could be so BAD. The answer comes with Mummy Returns. In that movie there is no Super-Sayayin (Tom Cruise) who do everything, there is a team, even the brother is important... Now back to MI - 2. Only one man do everything, thats not what MI2 is about.. I hope this change in the future, but for now go away from this movie

Summary: Visual poetry in motion
Review: Watching Mission Impossible 2 is akin to experiencing a two-hour visual poetry in motion. Whether in dramatic moments or in adrenalin-paced action sequences, the sheer brilliance of John Woo's direction shines throughout the movie. And let it not pass you by unnoticed his signitured slo-mo shot of a white dove through the flames. Director John Woo is truly a talented motion picture artist. A fun and entertaining movie worthy of a DVD collection.

Summary: How could anyone Possibly not Enjoy MI: 2.
Review: Why do I Love MI: 2 so much, Let me Count the Reasons. (One one thousand, Two one thousand... That's a Roger Rabbit joke in case you were wondering) Is it because it was Filmed in Sydney, Australia, were I Live... No, that ain't it. Is it because I'm not a Cry-baby Film Critic Wannabe like the people who bash this film... Maybe. Or is it because this film features some of the Greatest Action Sequences of All Time, Top-Notch Directing, Awesome Performances, a Cool Soundtrack, Spectacular Scenery, Breathtaking Stunts, a Cool-as-Ice Bad guy, his Equally Cool henchman (the Wonderfully Versatile Aussie Richard Roxburgh), a Tough-as-Nails Good Guy and a Sexy-as-Sin Leading Lady resulting in one of the Greatest Sequels Ever Produced by Hollywood... Yes, That is the Reason.

Summary: Woo hoo!!!
Review: First of all, I would like to say that if you thought this movie was boring, stop drinking! It was full of action, romance, and suspense. I loved it. Who cares about the slow mo's I barely noticed it. I like the romance between Ethan Hunt and Nyah Hall. Mr. Woo did a great job. Mr. Cruise did a great job. I go to the movies to be entertained. I don't go to dissect every aspect of the fricken' movie, if you do that, how can you enjoy it. Great flick!!

Summary: another sequel.......
Review: You see, when a film like MI 1 comes out u expect a decent sequel, but, unfortunatly u never get one. The plot is very familiar to any one who knows Syphon Filter on PS 1. Special agent Eathen Hunt has to stop Dugarry Scotts villan who threatens to release a deadly disease. Cruise acts the hardman but hes no Connery and Thandie newton is no.. I must be dreaming.... yes i was after watching this..

Summary: Check Your Brain At The Door
Review: Memorial Day weekend is traditionally when a huge summer blockbuster hits theaters and causes people to line up for hours just to watch stuff blow up. This year was no exception, as the eagerly anticipated Mission Impossible 2 opened to hordes of people wanting to see Tom Cruise dangling from a cliff and, of course, blowing a lot of stuff up. Before diving into this feature-packed DVD, be warned that M:I-2 is a very different movie than its predecessor. Where the previous movie was more of a mystery with a little action tossed in, M:I-2 is a straight up popcorn movie and fits the summer blockbuster profile nearly perfectly. Mission Impossible 2 is a strange sequel. It doesn't make any references to its 1996 hit predecessor, and the only returning characters are Ethan Hunt (Cruise) and Luther Sickell (Ving Rhames). The movie opens with a theft of a deadly genetically engineered disease known as Chimera by a group of terrorists lead by a former IMF agent turned bad (Dougrey Scott). Of course, the only person who can stop him is Ethan Hunt. Ethan teams up with again with Luther, and gets help from an international thief by the name of Nyah (Thandie Newton). Throughout the course of the mission, Nyah gets infected with the Chimera and Ethan must then get the cure, which is known as Ballerophon. If all of this sounds familiar, its because the story is just so cookie-cutter. We've all seen the good agent/bad agent thing before in Bond movies (Goldeneye anyone?), and the whole "genetically engineered virus in the hands of terrorists" angle has been played out in movies such as The Rock. Which brings up one of the biggest problems with the movie - the plot (or lack of one). Many people complained how the first Mission Impossible was "too complicated" and they didn't understand it. With M:I-2 they made a "story" that is so simple to understand that the dialog and plot insults anyone with half a brain. But despite the plot problems, there are some very cool action sequences and Ving Rhames is always awesome no matter what he is in. There is one scene late in the movie (track 14 on the disc for those who want to jump right to it) where Ethan Hunt escapes from the villain's HQ on a motorcycle that is simply one of the best action scenes in any movie this year. M:I-2 is one of those films where you just need to check your brain at the door and strap yourself in for tons of action.

Summary: Better than the first one
Review: MI2 has a complex plot, great stunts & good chemistry between the leading man & lady. Instead of denigrating characters from the TV show (like MI1), they concentrate on updating the classic elements it used (face peeling identity switches, divide & conquer, confusion, etc.). Put your brain in a pocket and watch the action rush by.
