Summary: Its alright
Review: M:I2 is a very impressive movie but the sequences and the plot are all so very simple...boy meets girl..boy falls in love with girl..viceversa..bad guy enters..boy protects girl.. Simple...
Rating: 
Summary: Not even a good DVD
Review: I bought this knowing the plot might be suspect, which it is, but the effects aren't even that good. I bought U-571 at the same time, and it provided a stark contrast. It's effects were outstanding while MI2's were generally unimpressive. All around - the movie sucked. Don't buy it.

Summary: A W F U L
Review: Do NOT buy this movie. Watch this movie ONLY if you are looking for a good unintentional laugh or are studying potential movie franchises that self destruct. Dougray Scott as the villian is pathetic and way out of his league. Thandie Newton is T-E-R-R-B-L-E and even more out or her league. Ving Rhames is severally wasted considering his previous strong work and his excellent preformance in MI1. Then again they were given nothing to do work with, the script is awful and John Woo couldn't direct his way out of a paper bag other than "gun go boom now!". So disappointing after a fun and likeable start in MI1. Go watch "The Living Daylights" if you're looking for an action movie that knows its small and fun and acts like it.

Summary: The best film released in 2000....
Review: The title for my review says it all. When I went to see the film I thought, "Great, a sequal to that mediocre '96 hit." My opinion changed after I saw the film. New director, brand new script, and a more interesting Ethan Hunt is what this film consists of. The music and cinematography are excellent and don't let up until after the credits. "Mission: Impossible" was a dark, spy film with many slow spots and a mediocre plot. The same cannot be said for "M:I-2". With the tons of special features on DVD, you'll be busy for hours......

Summary: great action movie, all around great dvd
Review: First of all, let me say this: I am a fan of John Woo and his highly stylized, over-the-top action scenes in all his movies, so I do not have to tell you that I like this movie very much...not as much as his Hong Kong movies, but anyway, it's awesome. But, I am supposed to talk about the dvd, so I will tell you, the video is perfect, the 5.1 soundtrack is...how can I say...just plain COOL. For all of you (and me)audiophiles, do not worry about the absence of a dts track, because you don't need it when you have such an awesome dolby digital mix. Oh, the extras consists of three featurettes, one with interviews with the cast and crew, one for the stunts and another with a scene selection, so you can see the work involved in each scene. Also, there's the "Mission Improbable" spoof from the MTV movie awards, which is vey funny, the "I Dissapear" video by Metallica, and a feature-lenght commentary track by THE MAN himself, John Woo. And for those with dvd-rom, there is some decent stuff too. All in all, if you like the movie, you will love this dvd.

Summary: The Best Film All Year!
Review: As you can see, I have rated this movie 5 stars and give it the award for "Best of the Year."I saw this movie when it first came out in theatres and couldn't wait til I could finally own it myself. I bought it and absolutely loved it. I watch it again and again. Tom Cruise plays one of his best acting roles ever in Mission Impossible 2 playing the role as "the good guy" against "the bad guys" in this action packed thriller. I was just blown away from the special effects and time the producers put into this film to create such a great movie. The fight scenes are phenomenal and as real as you can get them, the explosions are as great as you can ever see, and the gunshots and wounds are so life-like. Sometimes I feel like I'm actually there. Tom Cruise probably already knows that he did an awesome job but he should be congradulated once again by a long-time fan. He got into his character so much in the movie that I just couldn't believe that it was him. I honestly have to say that any action movie fans or just fans of great movies should really check this one out. Not only does it feature a great cast and great crew, but it also features spectacular special affects and fight scenes. "Mission Impossible 2" is the most "real" movie that I have ever seen. Its length is perfect and they don't cut anything out that I might have wanted to see. Everything about this movie is just wonderful and anyone of any age should see this movie. Honestly folks, you are gonna love it. Thanks for reading my review and have a nice day!

Summary: "Mission-Stay Awake"
Review: This movie in a word, dissapointing. I expected so much more from director John Woo, whose earlier film Face Off was outstanding and action-packed. MI2 though suffers from a deplorable lack of action, at least early on anyways. Although, it's visually stunning at times, there's really nothing here to grab you. I thought this film had very little to do with the Mission Impossible series, and more resembled John Woo's normal action films. The main problem with the film, is that it's main character, Ethan Hawke, played by Tom Cruise, gets involved in a very, long and drawn out relationship with his female co-star. The film spends far too much developing the relationship between the two, and far too little time giving us action. I also don't agree with the other reviewer's opinion that the first Mission Impossible was forgettable. The first film was much truer to the series, and was a very sharp, smartly-acted film. It had action when it was necessary, within the bounds of the story. I'd highly recommend the first film, and only recommend this one, if you need it as a companion piece. This is definitely not a film you'll watch over and over.

Summary: Much better than the first.
Review: I was very disappointed in the first film. One of the main themes of the MISSION: IMPOSSIBLE television series was the focus on the team. That focus was almost completely missing from the first film. Thankfully, that theme was resurrected in this film. I was so disappointed in the first film that, if not for the fact that John Woo directed this one, I wouldn't have bothered to see it. John Woo's involvement pushed this movie to heights it wouldn't have achieved otherwise. The stunts were amazing, the motorcycle chase scene was one of the best I've ever scene, and the fight scene in the end was full of tension and realistically done. Mr. Woo has taken the action genre to new levels of achievement. He is THE director to watch these days and you can see his influence in other films. The one shortcoming of this film was bad dialogue. Not that the film was filled with it, but rather that there were scenes here and there where the characters didn't seem to interact naturally and the dialogue was way too cheesy. Now, I have no problem with cheesiness when it's intentional (a la Schwarzenegger movies), but it really had no place in this film. Other than that, this film was a blast to watch. Decent acting all around, high octane action, and lots of explosions! A must see for any action junkie.

Summary: Lots of action, if that's what you like.
Review: If you like fast cars, explosions, automatic weapons fire this is the film for you. There is a plot and it is interesting but the action in this film is the focus. Pretty violent for my tastes but not umbearable.
