Stylish Action Is Not Equal To Stylish Movie

Rating: Null/10 (11 December 2000)

John Woo is a very good Action Scene creator. That does not mean he can make really stylish movies. The reason MI 1 stood out from other Action Flicks was the stylized story telling. That was totally missing in MI2.
But for the title & the cast, there was nothing in this sequel that connects to the original. A sequel should take the feel & essence of it's original and develop them further. Otherwise, what is the point in making a sequel ?
The Box Office might have made this movie a big hit, but John Woo was not the right choice for an MI movie. MI2 was more like a well made Hindi Movie with unbelievable action sequences, black/white characters and a lousy screenplay.
After watching MI, I couldn't wait to see the sequel. After MI2, I'm now hoping they don't make another such movie and call it an MI sequel.
