Summary: So Much Better than the first MISSION IMPOSSIBLE
Review: TOM CRUISE SEEMS MORE CONFIDENT THIS TIME IN MI2 THEN BEFORE WHEN HE DID THE FIRST ONE. WITH JOHN WOO FAMED HONG KONG ACTION DIRECTOR AT THE HELM OF DIRECTING DUTIES MAKING THE ACTION SEQUENCES AND THUS PROVIDING CRUISE SOME BANKABILTY IN HOLLYWOOD AGAIN AFTER DOING A STRING OF UNSUCSESSFUL FILMS. ETHAN HUNT(CRUISE)IMF`S TOP SECRET AGENT IS PULLED OFF HIS VACATION TO PUT A STOP TO AN OLD NEMESIS WHO HAS IN HIS POSSESION A DEADLY VIRUS WHICH HE HAS PLANS TO SELL TO THE HIGHEST BIDDER . SOUNDS LIKE A STORYLINE FROM A JAMES BOND FILM DOESN`T IT, THAT IS THE ONLY FAULT WITH THE FILM I NOTICED WAS LACK OF ANY ORGINAL STORYLINE. BUT WITH WOO`S AMAZING CAMERA TECHNIQUE AND IMPRESSIVE FIGHT SCENES YOU FORGET ABOUT THE TEPID STORY AND CHEER ON THE ACTION WHICH WAS SADLY MISSED FROM MI1. THE EVER BEAUTIFUL THANDLE NEWTON A MASTER THIEF WHO PLAYS CRUISE`S LOVE INTREST IS SIMPLY BREATHTAKING AND HANDLES HER OWN IN THE FILM. VISUALLY STUNNING OBVIIOUSLY JOHN WOO THE BETTER CHOICE FOR DIRECTING AN ACTION FILM THAN BRIAN DE PALMA.

Summary: A Good Time Movie! No deeper message. Just enjoy it stupid!!
Review: I believe that you should set your mindframe to the movie you are going to watch. For example, you shouldn't start watching M:I-2 (which looks like some horrible emoticon experiment gone awry) expecting Oscar-caliber performances...unless the Oscar is for overly-exuberant use of pigeons and slow-mo. Go in expecting to be taken on a great ride, which is what it does...quite effectively. If you wanted to exercise your brain, try explaining how the 6-foot-something Dougray Scott can pass as a 5'9" Tom Cruise. See what I mean? So just sit back and enjoy.The plot of this movie is much less convoluted than the original, which makes it easier to enjoy. I wasn't missing half the movie trying to figure out the imponderables like I was in the first one (Is that chick from Emmanuelle going to get nekkid? I wonder what that stick of gum tastes like??) This is an old-fashioned spy movie. Minus most of the gadgets. This one ended with a stronger feeling of finality, unlike the first one, which kind of left the door open for a reunion between Ethan and Luther. I liked that maybe Ethan is off on a permanent vacation. Lord knows he's earned it. Now for the disc itself: There are three or four behind the scenes vignettes all based around how they did the stunts. Not too much about the story, cast special effects in these BTS shorts. This is no mistake. Word is that the action scenes in this movie were written first, and the story evolved around the action. Ironically, George Lucas was playing skee-ball one day and had an idea for the Death Star chase sequence. The rest is history... One of the funnier shorts I have seen on a DVD is Mission:Improbable from the MTV Movie Awards. In it, Ben Stiller plays Tom Cruise's stunt double/stalker. I'm a huge fan of Ben Stiller, and to see him send up Tom Cruise, with the help of Tom Cruise and John Woo, was in itself worth the purchase. The commentary is a little thin, and I would have liked to hear what Tom was thinking during the filming. But, on the bright side, the disc does include the video for Metallica's "I Disappear". The disc should have included the video for Limp Bizkit's "Take a Look Around", since it wasn't released here in the states. I have seen the video via newsgroups, and it would have made a nice little bonus addition. After all is said and done, the question arises: Should I buy this DVD? The answer: yes. Whether you are a viewer that watches all the content on a disc, or if you simply pop it in and watch the movie, this disc will entertain you. Have we evolved so much as a society that motorcycle chases, explosions and beautiful women are no longer enough to get us to watch a movie?

Summary: A good time movie
Review: If you are going to do what Tom Cruise himself said he wanted you to do, than you will: HAVE FUN. This movie is full of some serious action scenes, tremendous getaways, gripping car chases, and a karate match par excellence, the kind only John Woo can deliver. It is too much fun not to enjoy beyond the obvious holes in the screenplay, plot and character relationships. But don't go into this with any expectations of those holes being easily ignored, or- God forbid- not being there. The biggest hole for me was the non-existent chemistry between him and Thandie Newton. Her fans know how great an actor she is from Bertolucci's BESIEGED and Oprah/Demme's BELOVED, and Stevie Wonder can see how gorgeous she is. But Tom Cruise if nothing else showed how deeply in love he still is with his wife, because I never believed for a second that he even wanted her badly, let alone was falling in love with her. The arch enemy showed a great deal of malice and forethought to his plan for terrorizing the world for a moment before getting rich. But to give motivation to some of his ridiculous actions (like the damaging of his partner's hand), the actor had to go over the top, and betray his character's sense of intelligence with a portrayal of near insanity. The fundamental flaw in this film that comes close to killing it, however, is really centered around making it the Ethan Hunt Show instead of the Impossible Missions Force Team. Wasting the talents of a supporting cast like Anthony Hopkins and Ving Rhames, and not replacing the Jean Reno, et. al. of the first movie, is practically a mortal sin. Not to mention that it inevitably sets Tom up for being compared to every James Bond since Sean Connery's DOCTOR NO, and coming up short in everyway, accept with the electronics. But again, the best of the action scenes and the Karateka keep the juice flowing and snatch the movie from death by caricature. It is fun. Implausible at times, leaving you wanting at others, but FUN, all the way through.

Summary: Give me a break!
Review: Although this film has recived alot of negative reviews and bad publicity, I think the film is widely misunderstood. Some people have said Mission Impossibe 2 is a "recycled and predictible movie" and that stunts are so unrealistic that it is almost comical. However, besides the sometimes cheesy dialogue, I know no other movie that packs as much action as MI2 does. You can hang with Cruise on high cliff walls, drive fast cars on winding mountain roads, or dodge bullets in a high speed motorcycle chase. If a dramatic film is what you want, then you better look elsewhere.In my opinion, MI2 will deliver the most fire, explosions, and high speed thrills your money can buy.

Summary: this movie was a piece of crap
Review: this movie was horrible. it had nothing to do with the mission: impossible series, let alone any plot or any substance. it was basically a Hong Kong-styled action rolling picture tacked on with a good title. it was messed up, and a perversion of movie action, with ridiculous moves and fight scenes. what a waste. perhaps the director should resort to doing short-segemnt action commercials.

Summary: Yes, its here. The Sequel to the best Movie ever is AMAZING!
Review: This movie is the sequel to Mission: Impossible. This movie is ultimatly amazing. The action in this movie makes up for some parts where M:I-1 is better. M:I-2 has a lot of action that engrosses you in the movie for all 2 hours. First, you see Ethan Hunt(Tom Cruise) as he climbs a mountain. With all of the special effects from this part of the movie onward, you will find it is amazing to see how people can do these things with technology. A must buy for any DVD seeker!

Summary: Smiling Acrobat vs One Getting His Gun Off
Review: I loved this fast action, sexy, exquistely filmed flick. So, it's not Great Expectations---if you want to go to the circus, do you mull over the ecological reasonings of 3 rings vs 2? No. You just let it all go and fly with it. Same with MI2. From the swirling Flamenco skirts in Seville, Spain, to the first wide opened shot of the harbor in Sydney, Australia, I was having eye-gasms. The plot? Oh, yeah, bad guys steal virus strain, good guys & gal make sure the world is safe. See it, just for the fun, you remember fun don't ya? Good.

Summary: Lame
Review: I can't believe what they've done to MI TV serie. This movie has nothing to do with the spirit of "a team" trying to make the impossible possible. This one should be renamed "Tom Cruise, Me myself and I". The video I rented had an interview about the making of the movie. My favorite quote from Tom: "I like the richness of the dialogue in this movie.". Says a lot about the guy. All along I thought there was more to him than just a pretty face, I guess I was wrong. Skip it!
