Great action movie...and better than MI One!

Rating: 8/10 (6 June 2000)

What do people go to action adventure movies for? For a sophisticated human drama? NO. For a mind-numbing twisting-turning plot? Well maybe. In MI 2, you get neither of the above, but you do get a lot of action, stunts, great karate scenes, unbelievable motorcycle stunts, and a real good (I mean bad) bad guy.
Nyah Nordolf-Hall is new to me, but she is a real beauty. Excellent facial expressions, and gorgeous eyes. The Aussie side-kick has a small role, but he's a funny guy. Ving Rhames was definitely underutilized. This movie was about TOM CRUISE.
If you're comparing to the TV series, there is one scene you will really enjoy.
Overall, I really enjoyed MI2. The plot was mostly simple and predictable, but there were a few times where I thought that I knew what was going on but my wife did not, so the surprise elements really worked.
The final fight scene is not to be believed, but it sure was fun to watch! Hope you enjoy MI2.
