 | The first movie was great- you got to use your brain, there was tactic involved- real danger....
not just Tom Cruise doing sommersaults in the air and, "ooo look Cruise will now let go of the rock even though he could die because he is so high in the air and he will jump to another rock just so that we can see his muscles".... there are car chases that you can tell are fake because they don't even try to hide the fact that the cars in the background are 3 times the size of the cars they are in.... the "point of the movie" is that Cruise needs to destroy this HORRIBLE disease-causing thing that makes your face BLEED from every pore on your face.... BUT of course, when the beautiful woman he decides that he "loves" shoots herself with the stuff and Cruise arrives on the scene a few moments before she dies- she's just a bit dizzy.... why bother showing what happens to a person when infected with that crap if it doesn't happen to the girl when SHE gets infected with it?
I wasn't impressed.... thumbs down- this movie was a waste of time. |

| I was SO excited about seeing this film. I am a HUGE fan of the first film. I even went out and bought the soundtrack.
This movie was a terrible dissapointment! I put it in, watched long enough to see Ethan Hunt degraded to womanizing, and then decided, that the creaters of the film ruined everything we liked about Ethan Hunt, and then some.
I hated this. |

| Tom Cruise is back in MI:2 - this time his targets are IMF renegades who stole the cure to a lethal and unknwon strain of influenza. Once infected, "Chimaera" disintegrates blood cells over the course of two days. The cure is worthless because nobody has yet contracted the disease which exists only on a few petri dishes inside a lab bristling with high-tech and "safely" ensonced within a highly-secured office tower in Melbourne. Knowing the target and the likely theives, Tom Cruise must break into the lab and destroy the disease before the thieves get to it. Quickly pegging the rogue agents responsible, Cruise enlists the aid of Nyah (Thandie Newton), a professional thief and former lover of one of the agents. Her job isn't to steal the virus, just "coax" the agent into locating it. That's the plot....
Director John Woo tosses out the subtleties that De Palma tried wreaking in the first MI, instead tieing the script along with action sequences that don't get excite as much as annoy. The idea of turncoat IMF spies is intriguing, and the evil Sean Ambrose has some of his own tricks, but Woo doesn't do much with the possibility, directing as with a 9mm. Things explode, or fly, and pretty soon, nobody on screen seems to know what's going on. It's not even a good John Woo movie - with Cruise and Scott failing to connect as Travolta had in "Face Off" and "Broken Arrow". A fun rental, but by the time it's ready for return, your mind has completely disavowed any knowledge of the prior two hours. |

| This is a horrible sequal to the original Mission Impossible, and should never have been shot. Who would have thought that after Face/Off John woo could make such a film. There's too many circumstances in this film that make it to hard to believe. Cruise seems to carry around his disguises in his pocket, and his makeup kit in his packback. For instance, he kills a guy and manages to find a mask out of his backpack that looks exactly likes the dead guys face. Now how is that possible?
Then his girlfriend, talk about infidility. But he always goes back to her, and it gets so bad that we wind up not knowing who the girl really loves. Cruise, or his nemesis. She sleeps with both, so I'm not sure.
The first was good, the second was just really, really bad. Plus, they seemed to have forgotten the timid, rather shy attitudes of the man in the first. He really got egotistical and proud in the second. A prime example of letting things go to your head.
Altogehter, the first was good, the second, I leave to your decision. |
