Summary: Exciting movie if you do not nitpicking too much
Review: After reading many reviews, I think majority of the people who have watched both MI1 and MI2 would agree that MI1 is far better film. I have no comment on that because I haven't watched MI1.Here are what I have for MI2 1)Good music and great CGI special effect. Although some scenes are unbelieveable(eg. opening climb), it's flawless to me unless I slow-motion every second. 2)Tom is a one-man-army, he's more a James Bond than working as a team. I heard MI1 is about team work. 3)Tom is great looking in that leather jacket. I'm not a chick but I say he's so cool that I want that jacket. 4)Overdone on mask tricks. You can put a mask on to pretend someone but body built and voices can be hard to copy. 5)Wild flying kicks. You see Tom does this jump kicks all the time(more than 4 at last scene, I lost count), the problem for Tom is that he's a natural stiff. He ain't Jet Li or someone who can do at ease. He barely touches the bad guy. 6)His romance with the girl is thin to me. I think that's John Woo's style. He is good making movies with excitment. Overall, this movie isn't too bad. I have a good time watching it once. But I wouldn't buy or see it in near future. I wouldn't get this for my personal collection.

Summary: Wait a second-wait a second-way overdone....
Review: This was very disapointing to the superior Mission Impossible from 1996. A flat plot, as a plague threatens all of Australia. Oh NOOOOOOO ! Aieeee ! Ethan Hunt is sent to assist a former flame of the villan to search and stop him from doing harm down under. Stunts, hardware and action are almost non-stop.Wow. John Woo makes far too much Impossible to happen. Gets you dizzy and laughing. Examples : - blowing a hole in the wall of a high rise and then jumping out of the hole, that's ok, but you could kill someone down below-falling debris..hint-hint! -jumping from your motorcycle at around 70 mph and then jumping in mid air into the other guy dead on???? You'd BE DEAD!!!! LOOOK OUT-OOOOF!!! and other scenes that are stupid are for you to find out...t.oo bad...it wasn't awful...just not good.....way too..well, IMPOSSIBLE.

Summary: Woo Delivers Superior Film to Original MI Movie
Review: Many fans of the television series found the first Mission: Impossible film to be a disappointing adaptation to the big screen. The addition of legendary Honk Kong action film guru John Woo--still seeking a true breakthrough US hit--promised a better sequel than the original. The plot: a superbug whose science is a bit unplausible infects red blood cells and spreads a devastating disease. Suave bad-guy Sean Ambrose steals the virus with the intent of infecting the world's population and selling the antidote to the pharmaceutical company that developed the virus. The IMF team--headed by Cruise's Ethan Hunt and assisted by a beautiful jewel thief--must recover the antidote and stop Ambrose before he can carry out the deed. The action sequences don't disappoint and are definitely the product of Woo's involvement, including trademark slow-motion sequences framed by flames, smoke, etc.; doves flying through all-out warfare; impressive motorcycle stunts; and the obligatory shot of good guy vs. bad guy with guns pointed at each others' heads. Where some may find the plot somewhat lacking and perhaps constructed to service said action sequences, the film is somewhat weaker than might have been hoped, but overall it doesn't disappoint like the first movie. My chief complaint is the lack of involvement by the remaining IMF team members; the film seems almost totally devoted to showing Tom Cruise and Thandie Newton's good looks rather than performing the team-effort so intrisnic to episodes of the original television series.

Summary: John Woo is the Walmart of Directors
Review: This movie was mass-produced garbage with the only interesting aspect being the Matrix-derived fight scenes. Such effects also stolen for "Crouching Tiger Hidden Dragon," "The One" and other horrible asian cinematic nightmares. "Mission Impossible 2" shares their fate in being about as original as Milli Vanilli. The studio must have paid A LOT to get Sir Anthony Hopkins and Tom Cruise to appear in such generica. I cannot stress how poor and cliche every seen is in "M:I 2." The Matrix-like fight scenes were both the best and worst of the movie. Best example of over-use of a recent cliche, and worst example of quality, accuracy, and originality. Even in the motorcycle scenes, Woo made no effort to hide that they drastically changed the tire design from one scene to the next. Sound like a small detail? Watch for it in the movie, it takes away credibility (not that Woo even makes an attempt to create any). Also, the Lisa Gerrard-like music (Gladiator) screamed cinematic pop cliche, and unoriginality. The quality of John Woo's work should have him making McDonald's commercials, rather than film. I doubt his commercials would even be effective though, as he lacks style, and even more so, taste.

Summary: STUPID, just a junk
Review: Tom Cruise did here the same that Drew Barrymore did with CHARLIE'S ANGELS: he simply destroyed the original TV series concept (modestly preserved in the first movie), and change the main character (EThan Hunt) into RAMBO, more than a superman, and virtually banned all the other characters from the screenplay!! IT's just a vehicle for Cruise's ego, nothing more than that! Also, it has one of the worst villains ever, and there exists a total lack of chemistry between Cruise and the thief lady. About Woo's direction, the same as always: heartless, mechanic, violent without purpose, a total waste. Go back to Hong Kong, man.

Summary: This Movie Begs for a negative rating
Review: This is the type of movie that is so bad that it can't be rated. You'd think that with endless millions to spend, someone could be found to think up a creative plot. The same old tired worn out killer virus and the whole planet will die theme--ugh. Then the face masks used over and over and over. Duh, doesn't anyone notice that even though these people have the same face, they're not the same size as the real ones? When Ambrose disguises himself as hunt, didn't Nyah notice that there was a slight difference in height? The script also liberally borrowed from a number of other movies, including the Matrix, among others. All in all, something to avoid at all cost.

Summary: Quite Possible Too
Review: Of course the first movie was easy to follow, only geniuses like me understood it. But this time around, "Mission: Impossible 2" barely has a storyline and it's pure action. Thankfully John Woo directed this 'she's my girl now fool' picture. Sean Ambrose (Dougray Scott) has a virus that can do harm and is going to sell it at an auction. Good thing Ethan Hunt (Tom Cruise) met up with Nyah (Thandie Newton) to deceive her ex. Did you see the look on Ambrose's face when he watched Nyah put on her dress? That was peevish. What a crazy guy he was. The movie is action packed with the ample Ving Rhames reprising his role and blowing cars up no sweat. Good motorcycle chases and fight scenes. It is possible!

Summary: Hated it
Review: My impression of the first MI was that it was like an intelligent James Bond movie, but this one is dumber than James Bond movies... I like James Bond movies, but that's not what I was expecting here.
