this movie self-desturcted in the opening 5 minutes

Rating: Null/10 (22 December 2000)

silly me....i quite enjoyed face/off , but nothing prepared me for this. my friends made fun of me cos i revealed i went to see mi2 on its opening day, and now i know why ...this film, although it had nice scenery of my home country was merely a tom cruise vanity production. i liked the first mission impossible cos it was intriguing and de palma i felt was the right kind of director for this particular genre, but why john woo chose to helm this disaster is beyond me. the ridicuous face swapping made me wince as did the constant shots of bad guys wearing black mesh caps (what????). i wish i could ride a bike like our hero ethan!!! dougray scott was alright, john polson's ocker comic relief made me chuckle, but apart from that this made me wish that anthony hopkins ate ethan hunt's liver for dinner!!! i heard that samuel l jackson has been asked to play the meanie in mi3 (??!!) and if thats true than im moving to siberia to work on my tan. this comes out on video here in australia next week and i cant wait to tell all the customers at my work to avoid it and rent gladiator instead. p.s - and tom - cut yer dang hair!!!!
