Summary: Terrible acting and no story ruin the good effects.
Review: What an awful waste of time. Tom Cruise did a better acting job in Risky Business. There was some good visual stuff, but it just doesn't salvage the non-existant story and all around bad acting.

Summary: The Sexiest Man Alive Does It Again
Review: What an incredible movie! One of Tom's best. He is soooo hott!! Anyway, great actors, great plot, kind of corny lines...i.e. while being attacked with fear and stupidity under a fight :"WHAT WERE YOU THINKING???" "I GUESS I WASN'T THINKING!" and also, after Tom saves Thadie's life "Now, Ethan Hunt, what was it you wanted to talk to me about?" he replies "a lot more than I thought". one more is "If I told you I didn't want you to do it would you feel better?" Tom asks. Thandie replies yes. "THEN FEEL BETTER!!!!!!" that is all. good movie!! hot guy!!

Summary: If the mission is continued I will pass.
Review: This move can be summed up in one word:Horrid. Another big budget action pick that stretches belief to the limits and flounders because of plot failure. I saw MI:1 because of Jean Reno, Jon Voight, and Ving Rymes. Even with these great actors that movie was tripe. MI:2 continues in that vein. Despite my dislike of the first, the critics were kind to this picture and I, mistakenly was lead to believe that this plot would be, if not good, at least decent. I was mislead. The plot is so overblown that it moves off in paths only tangentally connected with the opening premise. The acting, even Rymes, is horrible and the directing is even worse. John Woo may have had a distinct vision when he burst on the scene, but it is now apparent that it is myopic at best. All his calling cards are here: Black leather coats flapping in the breeze, pigeons fluttering in the background of action scenes and enough slow motion to choke a horse. If that were not bad enough the fight scenes are so overly dramatized that, even a Woo fan, has to wonder how ordinary humans with stand this type of pounding and live, never mind with no visible ill affects. This movie is just Hollywood trash, so discard it like you would an old pizza box, because it is just as empty.

Summary: WHAT WENT WRONG ???!!!
Review: I just would like to know why Cruise transformed a great character ( Ethan Hunt ) into a silly so-called "action-hero" ? Why they destroyed the almost perfect chemistry developed between characters in the first movie, and changed this MI 2 into a ludicrous production, full of cliches, action sequences that lead you nowhere ??? I think, from the first scene with Hunt ( the one in which he's climbing mountain with bare hands ) the producers warn you: " DON'T expect nothing worthwhile here. Don't try to see possible things heres. Just be prepared for journey of impossible deeds, lousy acting and a new "action-hero" that's marked to last just this movie." What a waste of a time.

Summary: this is a great action flick
Review: the fight scenes, car chases, special effects and action in this movie are top notch. the plot, like most 007 films, is irrelevant and pretty much non-existent. unlike MI1, this plot is barely noticeable but you really don't care because the directing and effects are super-duper. if you enjoyed Matrix, then you should find this to be entertaining."my one regret in life was that i was never a banker"

Summary: Visually pleasing at best . . .
Review: I suppose if you like a lot of action, this movie is for you. If you like good acting, an engaging plot, and interesting characters, this movie is NOT for you. Obviously, this movie was meant as a money-making blockbuster, without much thought of art involved. The best I can say about this movie is that it had great cinematography. But other than that, the idea was simple--throw together an edgy, electronic score by Metallica and Limp Bizkit, a lot of gravity-defying action, Tom Cruise, and an anorexic love interest meant as eye candy, and WHAM!--You've got yourself an assured summer blockbuster. Everyone goes home rich and happy--even though Tom Cruise is undoubtedly rich enough, and this movie turned him from a once-respectable actor to a definite sell-out. And the sad thing is that I know Tom Cruise can act. I saw him give an excellent performance as the anti-hero Lestat in "Interview with the Vampire." In my opinion, that was his best performance ever. Anyone who reads Anne Rice's Vampire Chronicles knows that Cruise captured Lestat perfectly. But Cruise undoubtedly made so much money off MI2 that they'd have to pay him, like, a billion dollars to star as another character like Lestat. FYI: Thandie Newton, Cruise's love interest in MI2, played the servant girl Yvette in "Interview with the Vampire." Anyway, the movie is okay--a definite guy movie with a lot of action, but don't expect anything else. The DVD, of course, has everything on it--including the video to Metallica's "I Disappear." As a Metallica fan, that's the best thing about it in my opinion.

Summary: Horrible Movie
Review: This is nothing like the first mission impossible which had a great story line and a great mystery behind it. This one is weak and all of a sudden Ethan Hunt becomes an action hero. What is that all about the first one is espionage this one is loaded action most of it not possible. Too fake of a movie. If you liked the way the first one was made like i did don't watch this but if you like watching a movie of just stunts and one you don't have to think hard in go ahead. Terrible.

Summary: AVOID AT ALL COSTS !!!!!
Review: I'm out of breath after watching this movie ... What was going through the producers heads when shooting this thing ? Only money, I guess ... There was a way of making a better folloup than this tragedy here: I think Cruise, Woo and the others could just sit in front of theirs VCR's or DVD's and watch the first movie... People that are saying that this is better than the first must be John Woo diehard fans, forgetting to see the truth, which is: this is one of the worst story lines ever made on screen, on the same level of the worst Van Damme's movies !! With one big difference: TOm Cruise is on it. I can't believe it. The team is gone, Ving Rhames plays a ridiculous small part, the leading female character is not good at all in acting skills..well, enough. See for yourself.

Summary: WHAT A WASTE OF MONEY AND TIME ... !!
Review: I can't believe Cruise helped to produce this crap. Maybe director John Woo's fame is so big that every actor wants to make an action movie with him. But the result in this "MISSION IMPOSSIBLE TO WATCH 2 " was disgraceful. The movie is worst than the first one ( a classic case of a bad sequence ), it's totally commercially driven, heartless, the action sequences in slow-motion are cliched and boring, the plot is ludicrous. All in all, one of the worst films ever featuring Tom Cruise.
Rating:
Summary: Cool scenes, but not much plot
Review: If you want to see some pretty fun car and motorcycle stunts and some other pretty good special effects, this movie is fine. The plot is fairly easily followed and very predictable, but the ending does have an interesting surprise -- the way Cruise gets out of trouble. If you haven't seen the movie, go rent the DVD at Blockbuster -- it isn't worth buying. If you've seen it, you know whether to buy the DVD here.
