Mission Impossible 2

Video quality is great but the plot itself has too much drama. The director of this film focused more on drama than action. The end is of a chinese film which does not look well for an american action film.

This Mission Self-Destructed In The First Five Seconds

This movie is a perfect example of an over blown, over the top, over budget sequel. When will Hollywood learn that bigger explosions and bigger budget doesn't make a better sequel, that's why most sequels fail to be even loyal to the first. That is exactly what happens here. Director John Woo, best known for his fascinating heroic bloodshed movies (The Killer, a better tomorrow, face/off)tries to brings his wonders to this flick. Unfortunately he fails to bring them in right to this sequel. The problem here is that it lacks the goodies of the first. The main issue is the mood; it is completely different from the first film. Whereas The first M:I had a nice blend of espionage and action, this one is an exaggerated/story less sequel. It felt more like a bad James Bond movie then it felt like a good spy movie.

The movie's thin plot surrounds upon a man made lethal virus, deadly enough to kill someone in 48 hours. The plan is to release the virus and then make money from selling the antidote how original.. Right? The rest is Tom Cruise doing crazy stunts, and exaggerating his persona. Now the movie does have a lot of good action sequences that's for sure, and it sounds and looks nice on screen and john woo is known for that, known for making action look like poetry. But it doesn't do justice to the movie, it only makes it exaggerating; just because the action may look cool doesn't mean it will make a movie good, you need story also, which I felt was missing here. And the story they chose was bland and soulless. The fact is that this movie is a Tom Cruise vehicle rather than a team work espionage. It doesn't have the chemistry of the TV series nor of the first movie. Definitely rent before buying, unless you're an avid fan of the franchise.

MY PERSONL RATING: 3 OUT OF 5
