Mission Impossible 2 (DVD) Reviews

Having seen the often brilliant, mostly confusing Mission:Impossible, directed by Brian DePalma, I was looking forward to a second film with Tom Cruise as Ethan Hunt the secret agent. Sadly, this film lacks the style and excitment of the origanl, and I would recomend all to stay away. It begins well enough with an exciting and awesome stunt ...  Read the complete review

I went to see this twice at the cinema, and have since seen it on DVD. It stars Tom Cruise as the unbeatable Ethan Hunt. Thandie Newton is the love interest, and also heads a sub plot. The film is directed by John Woo, and is unmistakeable in the photography. It is essentially an action film, plenty of chases, memorably, with Tom Criuse in a ...  Read the complete review

Before I start this Review is for the Region 1 DVD version of Mission Impossible 2. Mission Impossible II is the follow up to Brian De Palma’s first installment. It was shot in Australia and brought together action director John Woo (Face Off) and Hollywood superstar Tom Cruise (Jerry Maguire). At a cost of $125 million was this ...  Read the complete review

Another excellent film that I have recently purchased on DVD, is Mission Impossible 2. Not only is it a great action movie, reminding me sometimes of other great movies, like The Matrix and James Bond, but it has a fairly good storyline, as well as a bit of lovey dovey stuff. Tom Cruise is back playing Ethan Hunt, our Mission Impossible hero. ...  Read the complete review

What can I say about this film? It is action all the way from start to finish. Dougray Scott puts in an inspirational villain performance and Tom Cruise is at his very best since Top Gun and Mission Impossible. The action scenes in the film are very impressive and says a lot about director John Woo. To say this movie was abysmal would be like ...  Read the complete review

Ok,ok.I know there's lots of you disapointed with this film but in my opinion it is light hearted entertainment that the majority of films should be made for. John Woo is a pure classic himself and afer watching Face Off you are able to guess the type of action elements that are going to run through the film such as explosions, and ...  Read the complete review

The most impossible mission is putting someone you love in danger. This sort of cheese is all well and good, but it holds back Mission: Impossible 2 from being the great action movie that it could've been. The first and final third portions of the movie are what make it worth watching. The first part sets the stage for the rest of ...  Read the complete review

Mission Impossible 2 see’s Tom Cruise reprise his role as the spy Ethan Hunt. With more rubber masks, more digital clocks counting down to zero, more outrageous stunts, more of Cruise hanging from the end of a rope, more explosions, err I think you get the idea. Directed by John Woo MI2 took as much flak as it did praise but for those of you ...  Read the complete review

The main problem i have with this film, is that, when i first saw it, i thought it was a pretty good film. How wrong i was. It's not an alright film, lets face it, it's a fairly rubbish one. The amazing stunts and special effects will only last for so long, and what do you see when you bypass the tired 'jump from the burning plane ...  Read the complete review

Call me crazy but I'm one of the few people who actually liked the first Mission: Impossible film. True, it was criticized by both audiences and critics for its supposedly confusing plot but the way I see it, good spy thrillers keep the audience guessing instead of revealing everything in the first 10 minutes. But if MI1 suffered from ...  Read the complete review

The rap on the first Mission: Impossible movie was that nobody could understand the plot. Still, the picture was a worldwide blockbuster, so the problems of lucidity couldn't have been that troubling, right? At least that's the attitude seemingly copped by the makers of Mission: Impossible 2, which free-falls into another barely ...  Read the complete review

Mission: Impossible was a decent film, not the best but it had its moments... I was unsure of MI2 at first however I had seen previews of it and it looked quite good so I decided to rent it out. BIGGEST MISTAKE! Firstly the plot: Tom Cruise again plays Ethan Hunt only with longer hair. The plot is basically this ...  Read the complete review

I first this film only about a month ago and i thought it was an excellent film, with all of the wild stunts, the movie is packed full of action and there is something always going on, there's no doubt about it. If you watched the film you would not get bored with it, i guarantee you will not bored with the film. I personally though ...  Read the complete review

Mission Impossible 2, the sequel to the hit movie Mission Impossible, came out on video/DVD recently, and is nothing short of pure entertainment. The movie begins with an eventful plane ride high in the skies which definitely begins the movie with some great action. The next scene is when the audience is introduced to Ethan Hunt (Tom ...  Read the complete review

I love Mission Impossible. many disliked it due to its stupid stunts (a helicopter in a tunnel indeed) - but that's what it's all about right? It's supposed to be impossible! I liked the fact that there was a lot of planning into the scene in the room with the security alerts, that's what made it good. MI2 is ...  Read the complete review

Your mission dooyoo'er ... should you choose to accept it ... is to watch this film and not laugh. I failed in this on the first scene with Cruise dangling from the rock face. Sorry, but it just looked so silly that I had to laugh out loud at it. It’s so over the top that you cannot take it too seriously. That, in a ...  Read the complete review

After watching MI2 for the first time I am glad to say that It lived up to the expectations that it should have done. The film made a great sequel to the first one and I found the story line quite good and quite original. The story starts off on a 737 plane which is flying over the mountains. On board is a professer and a supposed Ethan Hunt. The ...  Read the complete review

After reading all of the inconsistent reviews that i read before watching Mission: Impossible II, i was a little pessimistic about what to expect but i was also curious about what i was going to see with all the information that i had gathered before hand. To begin with, this not an incredibly good film if you enjoy watching one of ...  Read the complete review
