Mission Impossible 2 (DVD) Reviews

You may remember the plot of the first movie Mission impossible and recall a long, twisted and "impossible" to understand plot. With the help of the wonderful talents of director John Woo in the sequel you find that the emphasis is on big scale explosions and deftifing stunts rather than the actual plot itself, even though the plot is ...  Read the complete review

Following the success of the first film, Mission Impossible is back, with a slick John Woo production that promises to be more exciting than the first. The plot of the second film is quite simple: Crooked pharmaceutical company has decided that the world is just too healthy these days, and decides to create a new super-virus, in order that ...  Read the complete review

I enjoyed the first Mission: Impossible movie – it had a strong cast, likeable characters, and a fairly good story to bring it up to date for those who were unfamiliar with the original television series. It also had some decent set pieces (the restaurant scene, and the finale helicopter scene spring to mind), and so, after seeing the ...  Read the complete review

Before I start I would like to say that I like this film. So if you want someone who picks at all of the flaws of this movie this review is not for you. Mission Impossible 2 is more like what the MI series should be Action. The first film had a complicated plot which did not even make sense at times but this film is a lot simpler and ...  Read the complete review

Directed by action God John Woo, this is one of the most enjoyable films I have seen for quite a while. The plot is no new spin on the 'Bad guy out to make lots of money out of heinous crime' malarkey. The bad guy in this, named Sean Ambrose has stolen a super virus made by a genetics firm, which once in the blood stream can only ...  Read the complete review

Way back in December of 1999, I went to see The World Is Not Enough at the cinema, and was interested to note that among the trailers for upcoming films, Mission Impossible was to have a sequel, due out the following summer. The trailer gave away just enough to suggest that this could be a summer blockbuster in the making, with the combined ...  Read the complete review

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 ...  Read the complete review

~ ~ Because of an over-run on his previous movie “Eyes Wide Shut”, caused by the now notorious attention to detail demanded by its director, Stanley Kubrick, Tom Cruise, currently one of the most bankable of Hollywood stars, has been away from our cinema screens for nearly a two year period. ~ ~ With Mission Impossible 2, ...  Read the complete review

If you watch his films, it’s clear that there are actually two Tom Cruises;There’s Tom Cruise the ac-torrr, as seen in "Born On The Fourth Of July", "Eyes Wide Shut" and "Magnolia". Then there’s Tom "Pruise", the sparkle-toothed movie idol who just wants to show everybody a good time. No ...  Read the complete review

Yeah that's all that really happens in these sort of action films, isn't it? But I'm not complaining. The sequel of the terrible Mission Impossible 1, is probably the best action packed film out their in the world today! I really didn't fancy going to watch this film after seeing how rubbish the prequel was! This latest version has made a huge ...  Read the complete review

Eathan Hawk(Cruise)is quickly gobbling up the Bond audience in the states and unless 007 can be refreshed this series is going to pulverise the old English secret agent winning formula at the box office.The stunts and action directed by John Woo are excellent and the action and pace non stop as we have a really fun two hours here. Cruise ...  Read the complete review

I have recently bourght MI:2(Mission Impossible 2) from WHSmiths, and I bourght it because I had heard that it was really good, so I then bourght it to find out about it, to see weather it is as good as it sounds! The main character of MI:2 was 'Ethan Hunt', as the same as MI:1, and the film is about how he tries to save the world ...  Read the complete review

After the abismal 'Mission Impossible' I was rather hesitant at the prospect of wasting money on the sequel. However as we were in America at the time we figured it was cheaper than wasting more money back home in England. So in we went with manky popcorn with an inch of salt. The first five minutes of the film gives you the plot and the main jist ...  Read the complete review

Following on in the Mission Impossible theme and directed by John Woo this was always going to be a good action film. Given the formula I thought the first film did a good job at disapointing but where that one failed this new one more than makes up. The action sequences are like nothing else, everything has works well and it will push ...  Read the complete review

After seeing the first Mission Impossible, I was a bit reluctant to go and see this one, as the first one had a very confusing plot and I left the cinema not knowing what I had seen. This one however was a breath of fresh air. I got it out on video with my friend and I watched it about 3 times. The basic story is that a Proffesor who works ...  Read the complete review

When I actually got round to watching the originally Mission impossible last week, I was bemused by all those people who said it was over-complicated and very confusing, as I found it pretty straightforward, although the odd twist did surprise you, but at no point did I find it confusing. However, I did find it somewhat slow paced and lacking in ...  Read the complete review

John Woo has once again made a cinematic splash with his newestproduction, one that will leave you glued to your seat throughout its action-packed 123 minutes. _Mission: Impossible 2_ (along with its Brian de Palma predecessor) is but lightly based on the 1960s espionage series of the same name; familiarity with its forefathers is therefore not ...  Read the complete review

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 Cruise) in the popular mountain climbing scene (which Tom Cruise did himself with only a very thing safety wire). In the next 45 minutes or so, the audience is ...  Read the complete review

Tom Cruise isn't really my cup of tea but as for the film I found it to be a weak, patronising, humourless pile of old nonsense. Whatever happened to the good old fashioned blockbuster? We don't ask for much to be entertained - a witty, strong lead character with a few classic lines, some depth to the protagonists and a good ...  Read the complete review

Having been seemingly dormant during the summer when the film came out on the cinema, I thought it necessary to at least see it on DVD. Being a big fan of Mr Woo's previous films such as Face Off I was expecting great action and amazing stunts, on this point I was not disappointed. The scenes were filmed well in that new clean cut crisp ...  Read the complete review
