I've taken the longest Tom Cruise ego trip I will ever take

Rating: Null/10 (26 May 2000)

I was excited, as was everyone, to see the second installment of Mission Impossible. The first may have been confusing, but it was at least intelligent and exciting at the same time. This time around all we get is Tom Cruise and more Tom Cruise. What the hell did he assemble a team for? What the hell is one of Hollywood's best actors (and I mean Ving Rhames) doing behind a computer with nothing to do for two hours? The premise is a well organized team all with specific talents coming together to accomplish a mission. Here you get a James Bond wanna-be in some of the most boring action sequences I've seen yet. Shame on you, John Woo for repeating the same jump and kick stunts over and over. You lose credibility and the reality we are supposed to fall into becomes ridiculous. Yeah, he looked cool...in a Wile E. Coyote kinda way. And thanks Paramount for showing us every single interesting gag and stunt in the trailer and then letting us down in the movie. I got to sit there and say, "This is where the motorcycle will go on one wheel", "This is where he'll flip and kick the bad guy" and so on. Next time, at least tell us to stay home and save the...yes $9.00 a ticket. Tom Cruise...you're worth watching normally, but stop falling into the ego trip type of acting and put the damn story first.
