I was disappointed.

Rating: 4/10 (6 June 2000)

I really enjoyed MI-I and am a long-time Cruise fan, but MI-II did not live up to the standard set by either the original television show or the first Mission Impossible movie for three reasons. First, there were too many dead spots with no action at all. Second, while the slow-motion fighting was interesting enough, it was unoriginal. It reminded me of The Matrix but not as well done. Third, I expect to see the "rip the latex mask off, I'm not who you thought I was" stunt somewhere in a Mission Impossible film, but not once every few minutes.
