Mission Impossible 2 (DVD) Reviews

Okay, let's get this straight. While this film hardly has the most original plot, most ingenious special effects or fight scenes but all the same it's extremely fun and exciting. While the plotline-a deadly virus has been stolen and can only be cured within 20hours of infection, and Tom Cruise must save the day, is very thin and ...  Read the complete review

This is the sequel to the original Mission Impossible film starring Tom Cruise. Personally I found the first movie to be absolutely awful. The plot was convaluted and the action was a little tacky around the edges. So, it came as a relief that this film had more focus when it came to storyline. The story was quite comprehensible. The ...  Read the complete review

This is the type of film you either love or hate. There is no in-between. The first Mission Impossible film was a little bit of a letdown. But it was still fun and enjoyable to watch. The second film follow a different ethos – Hunt is more compassionate and less predictable. The enemies are meaner and more fun, and able to ...  Read the complete review

The film is really just an action movie. It stars Tom Cruise as Ethan Hunt, one of the elite member of the IMF – that’s the Impossible Mission Force not the International Monetary Fund! The plot is fairly straightforward and pretty much your typical spy saga. This one concerns a company that has developed a virus that they ...  Read the complete review

This film is a really good action film. It has some of the best fighting scenes that I have ever seen. The only problem is that you might not like it if you like films to look realistic. Some scenes look a bit stupid. If you’re looking for the mission impossible type of film then don’t watch this. It doesn’t exactly follow the ...  Read the complete review

One of the sketchiest films I've seen in a long while. Very overhyped and overpublicised. Tom Cruise was average in M:I but sinks to new lows in thsi shocker of an action flick. The story was incomprehensible and the films only saving grace was the abundance of special effects. I feel the story was far to focused and needed a lot ...  Read the complete review

Obviously a sequel, but whether its true predecessor is Mission: it stars coproducer Tom Cruise, costars Ving Rhames, and whimsically glorifies the CIA as a band of efficient sophisticates devoted to inventing new ways for its employees to perform fancy stunts. Like Face/Off, it was directed by John Woo, features a fair amount of sadistic cruelty, ...  Read the complete review

Tom Cruise, violent action and mindless plot are the contents of this film. Directed by John Woo (Broken Arrow, Hard Target)(and you can tell...), this film attempts to take up the torch left behind by the splendid ending of Brian De Palma's first film. Neither film manages to capture the intricacy of the original series, ...  Read the complete review

I went into this film hoping for a good dose of action and I wasn't disappointed. This is a classic john woo film with some good chase and action sequences. As per normal there are the slow motion shots as the characters fly through the air shooting and lots of people spinning and shooting. If you've ever watched a john woo film ...  Read the complete review

The best part of this movie were the bits with Tom Cruise, especially when flexing his pecs while scaling a rock face. I was too busy concentrating on how sexy Tom Cruise was in this film to really notice much else, except maybe for Dougray Scott, who was also a fine candidate for the film. On a more serious note, I did think that it was ...  Read the complete review

Unlike the press, which was rather ambivalent at best towards this sequel, I liked it. And it is good to see that the majority of dooyooers think the same. Perhaps the intelligensia were trying to think too much - Don't! The story is poor to be honest, and the age old MI trick of pulling off face masks - done here by computer ...  Read the complete review

There was a lot of 'hype' surrounded this high budget 'all star' movie. I went to view this movie at the local cinema and after seeing MI1 I had high hopes. As usual it contained, the usual for all action movies, fast cars, sexy ladies and very funky gadgets.The special effects were just fantastic and I also like the sound track, ...  Read the complete review

If ever a sequel was better than the first this is it. It still has all the action and the stars but has a storyline which is much easier to follow than Mission Impossible 1. The plot revolves around a deadly virus Kimara and its antibody which can only be used within twenty hours of ingesting Kimara. It falls into the hands of an agent who has ...  Read the complete review

I have to admit that I was not Tom Cruise's biggest fan, and I found the first Mission Impossible quite enjoyable if not far fetched, but hey sometimes I don't want to have to think about a film, sometimes it is nice to just sit back and enjoy, and with Mission Impossible 2 that is just what I did. Tom Cruise looks magnificent in ...  Read the complete review

Well, I must say now that I am a huge Woo fan. And while this movie is not particularly good and doesn't help cruch the theory that Woo's best Hong Kong days are behind him, at least its commercial success will open up Hollywood doors for him. The first M:I was dubbed Mission:Incomprehensible. Now M:I2 is Mission:Implausible. ...  Read the complete review

Call me cynical -- I laughed when I heard there was going to be a Mission: Impossible II after making a joke about it in my review for Eyes Wide Shut. But my hopes were lifted somewhat when I also heard John Woo was directing it. I thought maybe the ridiculous, convoluted elements of the first movie would be replaced by plenty of double-gun ...  Read the complete review

MI:2 was a very good piece of work by all. Very good action scenes not too much sex/love which spoils these type of films. Very good fight scenes too, the story line was good but very good lines by our Scottish actor were very good an realistic and he actually said things people would say like "put a sock in it" in a broad Scots ...  Read the complete review

Most critics have panned Mission Impossible 2, but very unfairly so. The first film was very intelligent but lacked any action. M:I-2 has both. In the first half of the film the scene is set and we told about all the characters. In the second half we see what John Woo is most famous for. All out action. The first film was far too complex and you ...  Read the complete review

Yeah it was mildly entertaining, but it's a bit like eating pizza, seeing these kind of movies. They all taste the same really, just minor differences. The movie had all the ingredients; a charming, hunky hero, an equally charming, but cynical villain. A nice and sexy, but also clever girl, that gets herself into some trouble and has ...  Read the complete review

I went to see this film expecting to be disappointed. With all the hype built up before the release I thought that it would not live up to expectations. Was I wrong. The last 45 minutes of this film have to be the best action scenes I have ever seen in the cinema. The bike scene at the end is simple breath taking. I am a fan of ...  Read the complete review
