Mission Impossible 2 (DVD) ... likely must for John Woo aficionados, the second Mission: Impossible outing from megastar Tom Cruise suffers from an inconsistent tone and tired plot devices--not only recycled from other films, but repeated throughout the film. Despite remarkable cinematography and awe-inspiring, trademark Woo photography, the movie offers a tepid story from legendary screenwriter-director Robert Towne (Chinatown) and a host of other writers, most uncredited.Following on from the set pieces in the first big-budget, big box-office MI in 1996, it's clear (as Towne confirms) that the plot was developed around Woo- and Cruise-written action sequences. The film combines equal elements of romance and action, and is best when it features the stunning allure of Thandie Newton as Nyah, a master thief recruited by the sinewy charms of Ethan Hunt (a fit Cruise). Deeply in love after a passionate night, the couple must then combat MI nemesis (and Nyah's former lover) Sean Ambrose (Ever After's Dougray Scott). Ambrose holds hostage a virus and its cure, and offers them to the highest bidder.Woo's famed mythic film making is far from subtle, with heroic Hunt frequently slow-motion walking through fire, smoke or other similar devices, replete with a white dove among pigeons to signal his presence. The emphasis on romance is an attempt to develop character and a more human side to superspy Hunt, but still the story proves a distraction from the exciting action sequences. John Polson (as an MI team member) is an Aussie talent to keep an eye on. --N.F. MendozaM:I-2 DVD Extra Features With more and more DVDs coming out with an extra DVD full of features at a slightly more expensive price, it's nice every so often to see a disc that offers not only a great movie, but a bundle of features on it as well. The M:i-2 DVD does just this, and features not only the widescreen presentation, but also a number of behind-the-scenes footage, a spoof documentary, breakdowns of some of the stunts and even a music video to boot. Although the breakdown of scenes has that "Tom really did do it all, honest" feel to it, some of the elements are genuinely interesting. The biggest surprise of all though is the inclusion of the six-minute spoof documentary that was done for the MTV awards with Ben Stiller. All in all, a well presented disc and set of extra features. --Stuart Miles

Crowned Review Mission Impossible 2 (DVD): Critique: Impossible 2 (1305 words)
by MykReeve - written on 25/12/00 (Very useful, 117 readings)
Rating:

I've got to be honest, I really enjoyed 'Mission: Impossible 2'. At times, I feel like I was the only one – it received an almost universal panning from film critics, and the general public at large, for having a "confusing and implausible plot", and for having "infeasible technology". Often these comments came from exactly the same people who enthusiastically praised the recent Pierce Brosnan Bond films, which seems odd because if anything, the plot of 'Mission: Impossible 2' is more plausible than that of recent Bond films. The villains of the piece are as lunatic as those of Bond films, but at least they're not ...

Mission Impossible Two is another film I really enjoy watching and have watched numerous times since I purchased it. In the search for a hero Belleraphon, Dr Vladamir Nekhorvich has discovered a villain, a monster in Chimera and he needs Ethan Hunt to help him. Out of reach however IMF send a double in his place, Stephen Ambrose and Dr Nekhorvich ends up dead. Showing off his fitness and climbing prowess Ethan Hunt is on holiday when his mission is literally fired at him and he is called upon to do what he does best. He must now recruit two team-members of his own choice with the third being Nyah, a professional thief and Ambrose's ex-girlfriend. ...
