Even John Woo has overdone it this time...

Rating: 6/10 (3 June 2000)

I watched the movie expecting the best of MI 1 and of John Woo. That was wrong. The only thing that remains from the first one was Ethan Hunt, but actually just the name because the character has changed completely. John Woo, in my opinion the best action director in the world, has chosen the wrong movie to show off his skills. The action is "Once a Thief" style, and that certainly doesn't belong here. And last but not least, my favourite composer Hans Zimmer has disappointed me this time. Anyone could have written that score, so Hans, please go back to your true masterpieces like The Rock.
