easier to follow, but too predictable

Rating: 6/10 (24 May 2000)

This MI has a MUCH simpler plot -- you can see every twist coming long before it happens. The action is much better, and there are many scenes that have you on the edge of your seat. But when the whole thing ends, you're left feeling "so what?".
What made Mission Impossible so different (both the series and the first movie) was that you had to think to follow the twists and turns. Mission Impossible was more than just an action movie or an action show.
MI2 is just an action movie. It's visually stunning, but it's just a good action movie and little more.
