Very disappointing, how can Hollywood take people for idiots like that?

Rating: 5/10 (26 May 2000)

I was hoping MI:2 would be as good as the first one. The problem is that I was not prepared for such a bad movie. The first one had a great story and I really liked it, with a good dose of action. Now, what do we have in MI:2 ? A story that's been done thousands of times (scientists created a deadly virus and a bunch of bad guys steal it to become rich, doh), a flat love story for the girls, and last but not least 2 hours of completely unreal and stupid action scenes that make James Bond look like a kid. It's like a bad James Bond movie pushed to the extreme. When you see guys flying over bikes at 100 miles/hour that dont get injured when they hit each other you wonder if you are not seeing Robocop 10 or something... The biggest problem is the over used mask thing, there's a guy taking someone else's identity every 10 minutes and at a time he was wearing 2 masks on top of the other, and of course they are so perfect they can fool anyone right in front of them. We don't even learn anything on the characters, they are just like moving and talking muppets. Trust me, almost everything in this movie is bad, this is the perfect hyped piece of crap from Hollywood luring people in theatres. Let's just hope John Woo and Tom Cruise will never work together on another movie, I don't want to imagine what they could come up with.
