The best action film in years. Seen it twice.

Rating: Null/10 (24 May 2000)

Like star wars episode 1, I could not wait for this movie to come out, but unlike star wars I was not dissapointed at all this time.
It is almost impossible for anyone to compare this one to the original, because they are two totally different films. The other one I would classify as a thriller, and this one is a definent full-fledged action extravaganza. Ethan Hunt has a totally different personality in this one. He is not a paranoid prep like he was in MI-1. He is now more like some biker guy. The directing style is totally different, and so is the bad guy.
Unlike most people I enjoyed the convoluted plot of the first one, but I still found this version much more entertaining. Dont listen to the critics about the implausibility. That is all part of the fun.
