Summary: Good Movie
Review: good movie. cheesy at times. many of the stunts seem impossible to pull off, but the shots are awesome. does anyone know who is singing when Ethan Hunt(Tom Cruise) is rock climbing in the begining

Rating: 1 stars
Summary: For the love of all that is decent, skip this.
Review: If you have already seen the first movie, you know every step that this movie will take. The long, drawn out fight scenes, the overuse of masks, etc. It is so tiresome that it is almost funny. I knew from the moment I saw Nya and Ethan with the last injection of Chimera that one of them would inject it into themselves. Come on Hollywood, we aren't that dumb, are we? Try the first one, it is much much better.

Rating: 2 stars
Summary: Action
Review: This movie was action packed but the storyline was boring and predictable.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Bad movie or bad audience?
Review: Some people go to the movies expecting reality. If they want reality they should take a walk on the streets or something. Movies are fantasy! If you can't keep the suspension of disbelief you certainly will hate the film. And this is the perfect movie to do this.

You have to let all your disbelief out ot the theatre or you shouldn't go there anyway. Keep your defenses down and have some fun! Enjoy the crazy action that John Woo came up with. Enjoy the stunt action that Tom Cruise did himself.

The plot is not that good, I know, and that are a lot of impossible things going on the screen. Yes! Because this is "Mission: IMPOSSIBLE" and not "Mission: Reality".

So, if you can't understand the context of a movie you'll not understand it at all. And there's a big difference between a "bad" movie and one you didn't like.

Relax, and have some fun.

Summary: PERSONALLY I LUVED IT!!!!!
Review: I don't know what all you ppl are complaining about!! I thought this movie was REALLY good!! I especially liked the scene where Hunt (Tom Cruise) is rock climbing!! I think that was awesome!

At least give this movie a chance and rent it before you write it off as a terrible movie and a waste of time.

Again, I LUVED IT!!!!!!

Rating: 1 stars
Summary: PURE CRAP!
Review: This movie stinks! The acting is average, the directing is good but bad for John Woo's average. Why so many close-ups?? There wasn't that much action until the end. The scene at the lab, very similar to M:I1 and if that was supposed to be one of the first action scenes why fill it with slow motion?? The story was a bit similar to the X-Files movie! The thing with the virus and the female lead infected with it and the male lead saving her. (In my opinion the X-Files: FTF was much better) - Also there are many cliches in this movie, predictable. In total, terrible movie. Be sure to expect after the success of this in a couple of years M:I3

Rating: 3 stars
Summary: Not Bad-Not Good Either
Review: I was a bit dissapointed by MI2,especially considering the talent involved.Director John Woo could make riveting cinema out of a trip to the ATM,and Tom Cruise is usually much better at heroic lead roles.I thought the plot was a bit forced and illogical(thogh not as bad as the first one),and we've seen all the stunt sequences before.Even the great Anthony Hopkins couldn't generate any heat in a sly supporting role.And am I the only one who's sick of that peeling-off-the-mask-revealing-a-good-guy-when-you-thought-it-was-a-bad-guy(or vice-versa)gag? That got old really fast.Still,it's got a good soundtrack,and it certainly doesn't give you much time to contemplate it's flaws when you're actually watching it,as it roars by in a fury of explosions and wooshing camera moves.The DVD doesn't offer much more than the usual extras(interviews,behind the scenes,commentary),so if you're already unimpressed by it,I wouldn't waste your time.

Rating: 2 stars
Summary: Yes, Cruise can carry a terrible movie.
Review: Most who watch this lukewarm movie-making mess of a debacle will wonder why they waited around till the visually stunning (if not Woo-cliched) final action sequence, which is the only redeeming aspect of the "film". Tom Cruise, a usually competent actor, gives a sub-par performance, but manages to look pretty through harrowing action sequences. Depth in a performance is achieved only by Thandie Newton, who isn't really seen much in the film, unfortunately.

Rating: 1 stars
Summary: Should have gone straight to video!
Review: This movie has to be one of the worst movies I have ever seen! I am a big fan of action movies, and anything that is similar to James Bond with cool gadgets and cool cars. I understand that some movies will have portions that are unrealistic and difficult to believe. This movie takes that to a whole new level. There is not one thing in in this movie that is believable. They could have made some part of it where an average person could have done one thing in this movie. The acting is terrible, the action is way over done. By the time you get to the end you just want it to be over so you can say you watch. Honestly, I say don't even waste your time renting it like I did on Pay Per View. But at least see it before you buy it. I could never recommend this to anybody.

Rating: 2 stars
Summary: The Horror! The Horror!
Review: Well, for one thing, this was one of the worst movies of 2000. The only things that were worse were Mission to Mars, Battlefield Earth, and Red Planet. John Woo should've just tried to remake The Matrix than make this.
