Summary: Story Impossible
Review: Some parts of this movie were okay, like some of the action scenes. But on the whole, this movie ....... The story was so boring and cliched; a virus? A VIRUS? That has been done so many times. What were the producers thinking when they okayed the script? Dougray Scott is an okay villain, but he doesn't have that elusive quality where you fear meeting him in your dreams. I am now thoroughly sick of seeing Tom Cruise's muscles. The film focused way too much on his star power, and it suffers dearly for doing so. Some of the classic John Woo elements were there and easy to define, like his trademark hero with a pistol in each hand. However, Woo is not given a good screenplay to work with, and ends up making himself look bad. All in all, this movie was way too formulaic to enjoy. The first Mission Impossible was so much better, more suspense, better story, better acting. This film, this wretched Mission Impossible II, is not something you should waste your money on.

Summary: All flash, no bang
Review: While the action sequences were very good, the plot and script left a lot to be desired. Even with the glitzy action the movie had me yawning at the half way mark. The plot in this movie and it's predecessor lack the style and subtilty of the original TV series. If there was ever a question as to whether this was simply a Tom Cruise vehicle your suspicions are confirmed at the end of the film with the "Making Of..." interviews.Your time would be better spent watching one of the old Bond films than wasting a single moment with this turkey.

Summary: Great Movie,if you don't need a story.
Review: The first film was okay but this one was worse. In MI2, the effects and stunts are interestings and fun to watch, but don't mistake that with a good movie. A good movie needs to have people whom we admire, or hate. People that we care about, so we care what happens to them. In MI2, no one is particularlly interesting and most of the actors are just a bunch of bores. If you want to see alot of people riding motorcycles and wearing plastic masks, you will love this film. But if you want a story, a plot, or acting, you be better served by watching an old Star Trek cartoon.

Summary: Look elsewhere!
Review: My wife and I were close to turning this off after the first 15 minutes. The so-called lovestory is lame, completely unbelievable, and is slow, slow, and... did I mention slow? I saw absolutely no screen spark or chemistry between Hunt & the forgettable love interest (I think totally miscast). The action sequences are typical John Woo-impressive, but aside from those combined 10 minutes, can you say "forward-scan"? I knew there would be action, but also was hoping for an intriguing plot and a formidable mission or villain. Neither surfaced. The net result: a dreary, torturingly slow movie with a few cool action sequences. Sorry, Tom, even you couldn't save this one. Sadly, the best part of the DVD is Ben Stiller's "Mission Improbable" spoof, which is hilarious. It's the only thing that kept me from rating this as 1 star. I wish someone would've warned me: save your $20 and rent it at your local video store. I'm going to try to return or resell it. Anyone interested? It's only been watched once!

Summary: Not the Best, But Still Fun to Watch
Review: In the second installment of the Mission Impossible series director John Woo takes the ropes and gives true action fans what they deserve. Everything is here. All the true and fun stunts and an interesting twist to add a love story into the mix. Most people that I have talked to have said that it was too unbelievable and stupid to even watch. But what can you expect with the title Mission Impossible? I expected impossible stunts and I have to say that I got what I wanted. Tom Cruise and Ving Rhames return to the film, followed by the evil Dougray Scott (Ever After). I have to say if you're in the mood for a good action flick, and you love John Woo. Why don't you pick up a copy of MI:2 and sit and enjoy.

Summary: the secretary will disavow the script....
Review: Tom Cruise is back in MI:2 - this time his targets are IMF renegades who stole the cure to a lethal and unknwon strain of influenza. Once infected, "Chimaera" disintegrates blood cells over the course of two days. The cure is worthless because nobody has yet contracted the disease which exists only on a few petri dishes inside a lab bristling with high-tech and "safely" ensonced within a highly-secured office tower in Melbourne. Knowing the target and the likely theives, Tom Cruise must break into the lab and destroy the disease before the thieves get to it. Quickly pegging the rogue agents responsible, Cruise enlists the aid of Nyah (Thandie Newton), a professional thief and former lover of one of the agents. Her job isn't to steal the virus, just "coax" the agent into locating it. That's the plot.... Director John Woo tosses out the subtleties that De Palma tried wreaking in the first MI, instead tieing the script along with action sequences that don't get excite as much as annoy. The idea of turncoat IMF spies is intriguing, and the evil Sean Ambrose has some of his own tricks, but Woo doesn't do much with the possibility, directing as with a 9mm. Things explode, or fly, and pretty soon, nobody on screen seems to know what's going on. A fun rental. By the time it's ready for return, you've completely forgotten what it was about.

Summary: Loads of style but no content
Review: The opening scenes were quite impressive but one soon got bored with the tiresome trademarks of Woo imagery, slow mo poses and fire leaping. It was a film made by Tom Cruise for Tom Cruise; A portfolio of scenes starring him rather than a film as we know it. The plot was pretty basic and somewhat neglected (see aforementioned Woo imagery) and the ending was weaker than an American beer. TOP TIP: Save your money and wait for the TV release.

Summary: Biggest joke of the new Millinium
Review: There are allot of horrible movies out there but this is the Worst Big Budget movie of the year. First Eyes Wide Shut and now this. Maybe because it was suppose to be serious and people were laughing in the theatre during parts they shouldnt be . I used to watch the TV show. This was nothing like that. It only took the name. The old show was about "A Group of agents who defeated the bad guys. They did it slyly and at the end you were sitting there stunned. During this movie, I sat there Bored. I love action scenes but these were moronic. Hollywood at it's worse. If Thandie Lewis has a career after this, nothing will surprise me although Denise Richards keeps getting movie rolls so.... Avoid this and go rent a good action movie like T2 or Gladiator where is actually character development and not just images thrown at you to make money.

Summary: Another Hollywood "Blockbuster"
Review: Here it is at its finest, the typical hollywood "pre-fab" movie. Boy meets girl. Boy-Girl falls in love. Girl gets herself into dangerous situation. Boy rescues girl and saves the world in the process. BOO TO MR WOO! This movie was one of the most predictable movies to date. I'll give mine away if you pay the shipping!
