Summary: If you like really stupid movies buy M:I2.
Review: One of the worst movies I've seen this year, weak script, weak story, stupid camera angles, about 500billion close-ups, the climbing scene wasn't nothing spectacular, only the little motorcycle chase at the end was a bit entertaining but the rest of the movie pure junk. It had a budget of 125 Million dollars! Where did the money go? And this is the #1 movie of 2000 and has grossed over 500M worldwide! What world is this!

Summary: This is really a good movie!
Review: Don't believe the reviewers that said this stank, it didn't! This has to be one of the coolest movies ever, it's up there with some of the better Bond movies, definetly beter than The World is Not Enough. The action scenes are so cool, you just have to see this! Well enough, pre-order today!

Summary: Best Movie of the Summer
Review: Alright, first off let me say that this was THE best movie of the summer. It beat all of the history of Bond movies and Perfect Storm and Gladiator. If you didn't like this movie you were either hallucinating or on some illegal substance, or both of the above. If you saw the first M-I movie (which wasnt too good) dont get discouraged about this one. MI-2 is much better... it has a good plot (it could actually happen), good action, and finally a good looking and intelligent female character. The sound effects and visual effects will blow you away. I truly recommend this movie to the movie fan that yearns for some good action. It will be awesome on DVD. One last note... there are some awesome cars in this movie.

Summary: A Travesty Of A Film
Review: As a diehard fan of the original television show Mission: Impossible, I was appalled by what Tom Cruise and John Woo have done to this once-honorable franchise. They took what was a subtle, creative, sophisticated package and turned it into a completely generic action movie. Mission: Impossible was about outwitting the enemy--in this travesty of a movie, any enemy who gets in Cruise's way is simply killed--Pathetic and generic. To top it all off, Cruise and Woo are obsessed with gunplay throughout the movie, something the producers and directors of the original television series INTENTIONALLY did not use. They wanted their characters to THINK their way out of situations--Woo and Cruise just shoot everything until somthing works. I had high hopes for the potential movie series after the first one came out, but I will NOT be seeing any others--I'll just go watch Face/Off again (A MUCH better John Woo movie....)

Summary: Not impressive
Review: When I saw the trailer to this movie it looked awesome. When I saw the movie I swear I heard snoring. Tom Cruise's acting is almost goofy. The film made me laugh but I don't think it was supposed to be funny. Everyone gets beat up by Cruise? How bout no. Story was dull and lame. Steals a line from Last of the Mochicans. I enjoyed the last 20 minutes. And what's with everyone using a mask? Chessy, corny, and dumb. John Woo made a major dodo of a film here.

Summary: Good
Review: Toghter John Woo and Tom Cruise make a good action movie with just about no plot to confuse you like the first may have. There is no real villian to like or hate, because the only people he seems to be threating is rich guys who you dont care dies or not. The action on the other hand is very good though. My only complaint with it is John Woo used way to much of the slow motion camera styles. This Mission Impossible fails badly in comparsion to the first in plot. But is a ahead in action and was willing to trade one for the other.

Summary: Unrealistic? Who cares?
Review: Okay, okay, okay. You probably read a review, or saw it in the theater yourself already. And ya know what? The naysayers are right: the plot is paper-thin, the acting is spotty, and the writing... yes, some of the lines will make you cringe.But forget about all that. This is a JOHN WOO movie. It's not supposed to be about character development or a believable plot... duh. It IS supposed to be ALL about mind-blowing visuals and beautifully choreographed action sequences. And Woo delivers - this film is a Spectacle with a capital 'S'. The motorcycle joust at the end of the flick is one of my new favorite action sequences, easy. Sure, John Woo has definitely done better, and yeah, it's too bad about the weak plot, but hey - if you're a rabid Woo fan and you approach this movie with the right expectations, you ain't gonna be disappointed. Just watch it for the *action*, not the acting.

Summary: Only had a few good bits...

Summary: How this movie made $200 million is beyond me!
Review: I worked at a movie theater when this came out, and we had the longest working day that MEmorial Day Weekend. We had a showing of this for the employees, and many of us left the theater all believing this thing was overhyped (they send us window clings and some 20 posters! ). I heard people coming out of this going "IT's the best movie I've ever seen!" Apparently, these people must never have seen anything decent. My biggest complaint about the movie is probably John Woo. Whiel is action style may work elsewhere, here it just became annoying. In one scene, Cruise searches for Thandie NEwton while the camera keeps cutting between him looking and a dancer downstairs in a village. This was probably one movie that was only sold on pretty-boy Cruise than anything else. The entire movie he makes smart little quips and just seems to smile for the camera (the bad guy tells him that at one point "the hardest part about impersonating him was grinning like an idiot every 15 minutes"). Even the bad guy has the most cheesy accent, and lines. The missions turn into Mission: ridiculous, not at all anything like the suspend over the room or chunnel sequence of the first. To make matters worse, Woo throws in the full gamut of explosions and a motorcycle chase/ beach battle near the end that had me rolling my eyes. I guess making 200 million dollars proves one thing about the movie-going public: It takes all kinds of idiots to make a world, and next summer, your stupid loving of this movie will cause more like it to be made.
