Embarrassment to the T.V. Series

Rating: 6/10 (3 June 2000)

John Woo must have been a Scooby Doo fan. Between MI2 and another weak Woo movie Face/Off, the Scooby Doo trademark "perfect looking" mask scenes are overdone to the point of sickness. As in all Woo movies, (face/off, broken arrow), the plot is paper thin and completely predictable and the action scenes overdone. The movie has no resemblance to the T.V. series. Although Mission Impossible I was a twisted mess, at least it had some sort of resemblance to the series. MI2 copies recent James Bond films instead. Pray John Woo doesn't get his hands on the 007 trademark, because I'd have to jump of a tall bridge.
I must say I enjoyed the action scenes, but I was expecting more. If you like thoughtless action movies (which I do sometimes) you won't be disappointed, however don't go into this movie looking for any substance.
