Summary: One of the best movies of the year!
Review: I found this movie very exciting! The wonderful talents of Tom Cruise, Dougray Scott, and Thandie Newton astounded me! With experience talking I highly recomend Mission Impossible 2. I believe it is the best sequel I've seen so far! Tons better than the very good yet very difficult to understand Mission Impossible. Also I would like to compliment the actors who played Luther and Billy and all of Sean's (Dougray Scott's) sidekicks. Though there was momentary violence the movie not all based on blood and gore. (That I appriecieted.) I enjoyed this plot much better than M:I1. It wasn't layed out on the table right from the beginning nor was it Mission: Impossible just to discover what was happening. I like to call it, mind candy. I also appreciated the love intrest which made (in my opinion) the plot and the actors and actress more intense and emotional. Every time I watch it I sigh because even though it's action packed for the guys out there, it's also mysteriously sweet for the ladies. If you are still reading this, I strongly suggest you should rent M:I2 to check out Tom Cruise and Dougray Scott at there best. Enjoy!!

Summary: John Woo , God amongst directors
Review: Like any John Woo movie, the stories are not the most well balanced out there, but the action is great. I will say That M:I 2 didn't have as much action as any other Woo film, but it is certainly pretty good. This movie wasn't even meant to be a sequel to the Original Mission Impossible, its like a whole new era, a whole new Ethan Hunt. However, If your a John Woo fan, for the most part you should like it, at least the last 30 minutes of it which are for the most part, SPEC-TAC-ULAR.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: More Bangs, Thrills, and Plot Turns
Review: Just as exciting as the first movie. Cruise went all out in this thriller and didn't dissapoint anyone.

Rating: 4 stars
Summary: thrilling
Review: All right, so it has a plot-line that is more than 35% recycled. The cinematography (especially the symbolic effects, such as the white doves, etc.) is stunning. And when isn't a good shoot-'em-out thriller a good thing? I found this film better than its predecessor; it has more of a connected storyline and is not as confusing. It has some nice touches, and the action sequences are shocking, exciting, and often suspenseful. While it isn't a seriously "great" film, it's better than most sequels and is a great ride.

Rating: 4 stars
Summary: All you have to do is forget the first Mission...
Review: True, M:i-2 is a lot different from the first movie, but is that really a bad thing? I think I would die if the second movie turned out as boring and awful as the first. I think forgetting everything about the first movie and rewriting some characters' personalities was just what the producers needed to do. Reliving the horror of the first movie was definitely not what they wanted to do.

M:i-2 is a good movie, but don't see it to expect superb acting or a complicated, confusing plot. See it to expect a damn good action movie. It's that easy.

Rating: 1 stars
Summary: Your mission: Avoid this movie.
Review: John Woo, the fanboy revered action director with a touch so subtle and vision so pure one could only take him to be the second coming of Renny Harlin, helmed this horrendous follow-up to Brian DePalma's often maligned, though simplistic, original Mission:Impossible. Back again is Tom Cruise as Ethan Hunt, but he's no longer playing a super-spy. No, he's now a gun-crazed, martial-arts skilled one-man army with bad hygiene and the incredible ability to jump off moving motorcycles while suffering nary a scratch. Of course one Hunt factor does continue, he picks some bad girlfriends.

So with Woo directing, what do we get? Possibly one of the worst films of all time. Woo does his usual, packing on the two-fisted, guns blazing slo-motion "ballet". Of course if we put the whole film at regular speed, this turkey would barely clock in at over 30 minutes. So Hunt's got guns ripping up everything in sight, Thandie Newton is along to play the lover interest and there's a barely there plot about some nasty little virus. Personally, I'd like to get my hands on the virus from the movie and take a healthy dose before witnessing this thing again.

Oh, by the way, it's got doves too. A must for Woo. We know how peaceful he really is. And how he's trying to make a deep statement. At least Woo didn't have Cruise running his hand all over characters' faces this time ala Face/Off. I guess we can him credit for some growth. Maybe in 10 or 20 films Woo will actually make a decent movie. Who am I kidding?

Rating: 3 stars
Summary: Great Effects But No Storyline
Review: Mission Impossible 2 has great effects but i feel that the story line is weak. There are plenty of fight scenes and guns, but not many gadgets this time. Unlike with the first this one didnt grip me and i lost interest within half an hour. After sticking with the film i still wasnt interested, and i think that this film will only appeal to diehard Mission Impossible fans

Rating: 4 stars
Summary: great movie
Review: I taught this move was good. There was allot of action and it keep you alert to see whats going on next. I really taught this one was way better than the original MI1. The reason why I didn't give 5 stars is because the fake mask making crap kinda cheated throgh the movie

Rating: 1 stars
Summary: Mission: Dumb-Dumb-Dumb 2
Review: Not unlike its predecessor from 1996, M:I-2 suffers from a poor script and wasted talent. Admittedly, the cinematography and action sequences are very appealing, yet the entire movie seems to go nowhere with the plot. I for one like edge-of-your-seat action AND a good story to hold the movie together. The dialogue here is flat and pointless. Director John Woo does a good job of handling the incredible stunts, but has little expertise in supervising the acting. As much as Tom Cruise toughened up for his return to the role of Ethan Hunt, and regardless of how much money it made at the box office, M:I-2 is best described as a high-priced video game. Plenty of action mixed with a lot of boring filler. No wonder I keep humming to myself "dumb-dumb-dumb..." Sadly, I suspect M:I-3 is just around the corner though.

Rating: 4 stars
Summary: The Truth
Review: In a world full of people with nothing better to do than bad mouth a movie that, in the first place they could never make themselves, i have but one thing to say " If you haven't tried making or acting in a movie, don't comment on the people who can" MI2 is much better than the first at least Cruise does seem human in the movie, he does bleed and get hurt(not like james bond movies were bond always seems to beat rivals bigger and stronger than him)Don't get me wrong bond movies have there place just like x-men, the perfect storm, star wars... Compare apples with apples, oranges with oranges...MI2 has great action scenes and a believable love story(love at first site). Just remember it's make believe, sit down, relax and enjoy.
