Summary: VERY VERY BAD sequel -- get the first one insead
Review: Mediocre story, too much hype, and dismal acting (Tom, what were you thinking??), made this one of the most disappointing movies I've ever seen. Thank god I didn't buy this one or pay full price at the theater... I was very close to doing that based on the merits of the first one.In a way it's a fitting followup ... take everything that made the first movie work (gritty action, special effects, suspense) and show how NOT to do it. Trust me -- rent it first.

Summary: Boring
Review: I found the first MI very entertaining and didn't really expect too much from the sequel. Still I was very dissapointed. The plot here is almost non-existent. I found myself not caring about any of the characters or what happened to them in the end of the movie, I just wanted it to end. The action scenes are overdone and there are too many of them. I say this keeping in mind that this is supposed to be an action/thriller. The characters and their realtionships could have been developed a little bit more. Ethan Hunt is pretty much a one man team this time. Ving Rhames does the same exact thing he does in the first MI. The third team member is almost non-existent. I guess if you like your plots to be really straight forward and drawn out and the action scenes long and plentiful, you will like this. I really think John Woo gets a lot mroe credit than he deserves. Broken Arrow is one of the worst movies I have ever seen and this is not too far behind. Face/Off isn't too bad, it at least has somewhat of a plot with exceptional action. If you liked MI 1 stay away.

Summary: Better than the first...
Review: MI:2 provided a great visual expierence. It was good that Cruise did most of his own stunts. It added a lot to the movie! The DVD has some very nice features, including the "Impossible Shots" portion, that shows how they did many of the big stunts in the movie. The music selection for the film was done quite well. The move from the more traditional Mission Impossible music, to music by Limp Bizkit and Metallica added to the action scenes. I wish they had the Orchestrator of MI:2 do a commentary on the music and the process of choosing it (like on the Matrix DVD). Overall, the movie was done very well, and deserves being watched several times. Kudos to Mr. Woo for his marvelous directing, and to Cruise who did some absolutely incredible stunts!

Summary: Don't let the impossibility of it get to you
Review: It is a visual masterpiece and a MUCH easier plot than the first Mission Impossible. Just don't let the horrible shooters, overly done explosions, and other things of this nature get in the way of the movie, focus on what you r watching and enjoy it, its awesome, highly recommended

Summary: An enjoyable action flick
Review: This movie, while not living up to the first, was still a visual and auditory treat. The movie, while having very little in the way of new plot elements had many fantastic (albeit, totally unbelievable) stunt sequences. The movie is not a serious movie, and thus this detracts only slightly from the story. The story although not really all that original seems to flow along well. I watched the movie to escape reality for a couple of hours, and it was a pleasant diversion from the real world. The characters seemed to be well acted, the performers were easy on the eyes, and the environment was so far fetched that it was unrealistic. The perfect keys to a good escapist movie. The stunts while not really all that realistic, were dazzling and contributed to the aesthetic quality of the movie. Overall 4 stars Aesthetics 5 stars Acting 5 stars Action 4 stars, due to a lack of really original sequences Stunts 5 stars Story 3 stars Believability 2 stars All in all this is a pretty good movie, but you have to have a really good imagination to think that any of the story is plausible and/or possible. I would only recommend this to those who are major fans of John Woo and/or are looking for a good movie to escape reality with.

Summary: Mission Impossible 2
Review: I really don't understand why everyone hates this movie. I saw it in the theatre, and later I've bought it on dvd. I think this is a very good movie, directed by John Woo( face/off, The Replacement Killers, Broken Arrow) The story, I have to admit is a little bit weak, but this doesn't change my opinion about the movie. Not every movie needs to have a great storyline. The acting is not bad at all. Some actions scenes are very good, that'a what you can expect of the director if u know his movies. Mission Impossible 2 is pretty different to it's predecessor. I think that Mi2 is great but aimed for a younger audience like age 17 or so.
I recommend you to rent or buy this movie if u like action packed sequences and not focussed to much on the story.

Summary: Bad Movie
Review: All right well first off I absolutely hated this movie because the whole story was completely unrealistic. In particular, when Ethan Hunt and another guy are riding motorcycles at 80 mph and then jump and hit each other and then get up without a broken bone or anything. The next one is where he is scaling the rock ledge without any ropes. Some people probably think he is a real cool action hero sort of guy, when actually he is a complete idiot for first off climbing without ropes and second climbing up a wall of sandstone, which is one of the weakest and most likey to break sort of rocks. Overall there are plenty more unrealistic stunts in this movie which are supposed to come out has action packed but really are stupid and unrealistic.

Summary: Much better than the first movie
Review: This is truly a great addition to the Mission Impossible series and being on DVD only makes it better. I have to say that after reading some of the negitive reviews they make me wonder if they even watched the movie. The story and acting are superb and the stunts and special effects are great. The DVD edition has a lot of great extras including the making of many of the "impossible" stunts. The sound and picture quality as expected are much better than the VHS edition and really makes for a greater viewing experience. I myself really enjoyed this movie and found that the story was much improved over the first movie. The character developements in MI2 are a considerable improvement over the first installment and the story moves along nicely. The stunts are mind-boggling and the special effects are great. This is in my opinon the best of John Woo's movies and as an action movie has a great story and plot to accompany the superb action. I highly recommend this movie as it is sure to entertain and provide a night of enjoyment.

Summary: Great Stunts but That's All Folks
Review: The antidote to a horrifying disease has been stolen and the bad guy's going to steal the disease too to make $37 Billion pounds. Tom Cruise has the (im)possible mission of stopping the villain. To do so he recruits the love interest, who's just a dewdrop of beauty on the screen, Ving Rhames, and an Aussie bloke who flies the helicopter a lot. That's pretty much it for the plot, but what do you expect from a movie that had the stunts mapped out and the actors hired BEFORE the screenplay was written??!! Yes, the stunts are tremendous. Even more so becuase the actors did a majority of them on their own. The first act, and even half of the second, are good, and the movie had promise, but the second half is ALL fight/chase/shoot-em-up scenes. Or closeups on Thandie's hair blowing slowly around her face while she looks sad. (And the one white dove cracked me up!) I loved the first "Mission Impossible" and wanted so much to enjoy this one. It fell short of its mark, because I wanted to be entertained, but part of that entertainment means I get to escape *into* the movie. When the viewer starts thinking, "Oh, no, not more stunts" the director has lost them. John Woo fans, on the otherhand, will wear out their DVD drives!
