One truly bad movie

Rating: Null/10 (27 May 2000)

First off, I'm a fan of John Woo. Hard Boiled was a fantastic, fun romp, even if it was quite unrealistic. Broken Arrow was corny and unrealistic, but had a cool feel and fun visuals. Face Off showed his downward trend, becoming ridiculously far-fetched and losing much of the old charm.
This downward trend hits new lows with Mission Impossible 2. The action scenes simply require _too much_ suspension of disbelief. The plot is nonexistent. The 'love story' (not that Woo has ever been too good at portraying that) is silly. I kept thinking that this movie would have made a killer G.I. Joe episode -- if you're twelve you might love this flick.
Do not see this movie if:
* You know anything about basic physics.
* You know anything about motorcycles.
* You notice terrible, choppy editing (e.g. the post-sex bed scene)
* You know anything about motorcycles (did I repeat myself?)
* You require a movie maker to have more insight into human behavior than the aforementioned twelve year-old would.
To sum up: ugh. The Hollywood hype machine cashes in again.
