Rating: Summary: Oh dear... Review: High hopes for this one were dashed by a awfully weak plot. Cruise is not too bad and holds his character well, along with fairly decent acting from his co-actors. But Acting is not the downfall of this film. It is fair to say that people who will watch this will be the Action/Adventure james Bond watchers. But this is not James Bond. Action/Adventure, barely. There are some impressive special effects which go someway to mask the poor plot line, but it eventually shines through. The use of the Rubber Face-Masks to confuse the enemy is done 10 times too many. Watch the original, or any James Bond movie instead of this.
Rating: Summary: Good but I still prefer first Review: I thought this film was pretty good but I still enjoy the original's cloak and dagger stuff. Still, John Woo delivers some amazing visuals (though sometimes he does the slow-mo thing a little too much) and stunts making this film still worth watching, even though it's plot is a sixth rate James Bond plot. But it definitely makes me wonder how good a Bond movie Woo could make.

Rating: Summary: MI:2, my class review-ty Review: mission impossible 2 is like the first, full of baffling twists, action packed scenes, hanging from cables, chicks, and most of all, masks. overall i think that mission impossible 1 is better because it is less predictable. however, 2 has better action thanks to the genius of John Woo. all of the action scenes are crisp and believeable except when in the motorcycle chase their tires change from street to dirt. i recomend this movie if you are bored. -tyler (how's this wyborney?)
Rating: Summary: JIM, I MEAN JOHN WOO, YOUR MISSION: MAKE A GOOD SEQUEL Review: MI2 WAS PRETTY GOOD. IT BEATS THE 1ST INSTALLMENT WITH MORE ACTION. ESPECIALLY THE FINAL HALF HOUR. THOUGH I WAS DISSAPOINTED, I'VE STILL SEEN IT 4 TIMES. MAINLY FOR THAT LAST ACTION SEQUENCE (ALA MI1 ON TRAIN) JOHN WOO DOES A GOOD JOB. THERE WASNT REALLY AN IMPOSSIBLE MISSION HERE. JUST ALOT OF FACE CHANGING AND A ONE ON ONE BATTLE BETWEEN TOM CRUISE AND AMBROSE. IT WAS A GOOD ONE THOUGH. LOVE THAT SPIN KICK. HOPE TO SEE A THIRD PART.
Rating: Summary: like unto caddyshack 2 Review: the first mission impossible film is without a doubt one of my favorite films to date. ive seen it countless times and bought it on dvd th first chance i got. i went in the theatre expecting another excellent movie experience with plot twists and turns all over... but instead i was met with a trite action storyline based on nothing in particular which resembled absolutely nothing of the original film. i will never, ever watch another john woo film and i feel very let down by tom cruise on this one. i couldnt believe i actually fronted $7 to see this movie, ugh, i left early after cracking up at its idiocy.
Rating: Summary: Let's not miss the point Review: This film is an excellent melding of the Mission Impossible genre with John Woo's directing style. It is beautifully filmed with superb choreography. A lot of people seem to be putting it down for its outlandish action situations and sequences. For me this is the essence of an "impossible mission" and brought me back to watching the original Mission Impossible as a young boy in a way which the first MI didn't come close. In my view, one for the collection
Rating: Summary: Mission Impossible 2 Review: What can I say apart from WOW! MI2 has got to the best film I've seen. Everything was so believable. The fact that Tom Cruise his all of his own stunts made it a one of a kind film. The filming and sequences were genius. The music was well chosen for all of the scenes, if you haven't yet seen the film you need to. You're missing more than you know if you don't. Between the producers, Tom Cruise and Paula Wagner, and the director Jon Woo they have made a film to remember. The scenery was stunning, the idea of it was remarkable. I really hope that they make an MI3. It is really hard to pick a fault with it, and I couldn't possibly say which my favourite bit was.
Rating: Summary: Sexy but too shallow. Too bad they didn't see the potential! Review: Well... since the long awaited second release of Tom Cruses Mission Impossible series came out I really did some thinking! This movie isn't all that good! The first Mission Impossible is so much better, with better plot and action sequences than this one. Since the totally cool James Bond films came out the pressure was on to make this movie sexy and sleek but as they tried that they lost a lot of the potential. I actually prefer the James Bond films because they do such a great job at making it all blend.
Rating: Summary: Superior Sequel Review: I'm surprised about the negative reviews. This movie had what the first lacked--a plot. Also, John Woo's directing is amazing as usual
