Summary: Romance,Action-Waltz
Review: Sure..The first one was good..but a bit on the dull side.This one on the other hand had a great love story, Great action sequences..The way Woo makes the actors move..the way he shoots his camera.I thought it was indeed better then the first..but not as good as Woo's previous masterpiece.."Face/Off"..But..the Bike chase stands next to the boat chase in my book..

Rating: 3 stars
Summary: A disappointing sequel.
Review: I found the story in this one fair more involving than the story in the first Mission: Impossible movie. I really wanted to feel for the sacrifices that the two main characters made for the sake of the "mission". However, I found the rapid-fire, almost music video-style direction distracting to the point that the story was often lost (as was my attention to the movie). Based on other reviews, I had expected more. Although I know that most reviewers disgree with me on this, I find the first film effort a more watchable choice. Perhaps upon a repeat viewing, I might come to like this one more than I do.

Rating: 2 stars
Summary: Just Bad
Review: I REALLY enjoyed the first Mission Impossible flick, but man, what happened? This movie was really bad, I mean BAD! I got to see this movie for free and I felt so cheated, I wanted to bill them for my time. There seemed to be no heart or anything out of the ordinary/special about this film. I think it is based on a rejected James Bond script. Hey, I love action movies more than most, but this was a poor attempt to capture some of that Matrix market with supposedly great special effects. I felt the fights and action sequences were cornier than Charlie's Angels, which was tongue in cheek all the way. I can best associate this series as going the way of the Batman series. MI:2 - Bad, but still better than English Patient

Rating: 2 stars
Summary: The movie what is concentrated on effects
Review: MI-2 is fo sure much worse that MI-1. The two series of MI are so different that the only thing what is common there is a character of Ethan Hunt. While MI-1 has a strong scenario, MI2 is so weak in the idea that sometimes you feel that this movie has nothing to say and the only thing what makes this movie strong is its special effects and beautiful sceneries. It seems that the producers had to fill up the time in the movie and therefore put in a terribly long and nonsence scenes like the opening sequences and also scenes in Sevilla. I even do not understand why was so lot of music behind needed. Sometimes it seemed that the film looked like a big commercial of the high level cinema techniques of the millenium. But anyway, if you enjoy good visual and sound effects, you have to see it.

Rating: 2 stars
Summary: This is not Mission: Impossible
Review: When they teamed up Woo and Cruise to make this movie, they should have just called in something else. They eliminated almost all of the M:I team, leaving only Vinge Rhames to play 10 minutes on the screen. This is a Cruise-fest, plain and simple. And Woo's insipid filming technique, which for the most part does work in martial arts only movies, falls on its face. In a story that is supposed to be somewhat believable, we watch Cruise and cast complete hilarious stunts including a midair chest to chest impact of Cruise and baddie going at about 60 mph (120 mph impact) each. Please! And the repetitive use of rubber masks, upon rubber masks became boring, trite, and downright stupid after awhile. If they would have titled this movie something completely different, I would probably like it more. But this IS NOT Mission: Impossible.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: THE PERFECT MOVIE
Review: I loved it, it has action, comedy and mystery all mixed in one! It has a great story line and it is so much easyer to follow then the first. Most of the time the first movie is the best but with MI2 it passes the first one by a mile. If you liked the first you are gonna love the second!

Rating: 1 stars
Summary: I'm ashamed to admit I own this DVD
Review: It truely is THAT bad. I generally catch the majority of movies at home on DVD. It's worth it to me just to buy it and not go through the trouble of renting. I wish I had rented this one. The plot is idiotic and contrived. The whole way through the movie I was telling myself, "Ok it'll change gears in a minute and all this BS will have been some type of foundation for what comes ahead." Wrong. This is by far the worst movie I'd watched in 2000. If you have sooo much time and your hands and are bored to tears with absolutely no way to entertain yourself ( no paint drying or grass growing anywhere to watch ) then buy it but be ready to turn it off as soon as somebody starts painting. Also have a good hiding place for it so it isn't visible in your collection else you suffer the embarassment of owning this pathetic excuse for a movie.

Rating: 1 stars
Summary: What a disapointment
Review: What a disapointment this movie was. I used to love MI as a kid and it was built around the team concept. Where is the MI team here? This is nothing but Tom Cruise doing dangerous stuff. (That should be the name of it!) Granted the action scenes were well done but so long and added nothing to the movie. It appears Mr. Cruise wants to be a poorly acted James Bond. Well if that was where he was going he got there. My recommendation! Rent it don't buy it.

Rating: 4 stars
Summary: Not a bad movie
Review: i thought that this movie was done pretty well. i know that some people really like movies with a lot of story and stuff like that, but if you are just intrested in seeing some pretty cool stunts and nice visual effects, then you should like this movie. it also amazed me when i found out that tom did alot of his own stunts. you can view some of the behind the scene stuff on how they did it. and i really like the I Disapear video by Metallica, it's pretty cool. check it out, it's worth it!

Rating: 2 stars
Summary: Does the word "lame" come to mind?
Review: This has got to be one of the most overhyped films I have ever seen in my 14 years on this Earth. The story was idiotic, the acting was SOOOO lame, and it all made no sense. The fighting scenes didn't even make any sense! The only reason I gave it 2 stars is because the action is a little cool at times. But what it all boils down to is that this is a stupid movie. A lame, illogical, overhyped movie that requires no mental effort. Thank you.
