James Bond meets the Matrix

Rating: 8/10 (14 June 2000)

If you are looking for a deep theatrical experience, to be challenged, moved or have your mind opened to new ways of looking at things; if you want to see stereotypes debunked or to become a better person for the experience of seeing a movie - MI2 is probably not the best choice for you !
This is James Bond meets the Matrix. This is a high-energy, gadget laden amusement park thrill ride, and a jolly good one it is too. The music is superb, the special effects are breath-taking - especially the opening sequence. The plot is about as deep as a Scotsman's pockets and as predictable as Old Faithful but hey, its stylishly directed and an excellent way to be simply entertained in an adrenaline-centric sort of way for a couple of hours. Make sure you see it at a good theatre with thunderous sound and a huge screen. Call me shallow, but I thoroughly enjoyed this movie.
