Where have I seen this before?

Rating: 3/10 (19 October 2002)

I really liked the first Mission Impossible film. It had a very good spy/thriller feel to it and actually seemed more like a Mission Impossible t.v. episode. This one was okay but it should not have been called Mission Impossible 2. It's nothing like what Mission Impossible is supposed to be. It feels more like another version of James Bond. I notice so many are trying to copy Bond these days (and most of them unsuccessfully). This is a decent outing as a James Bond copy, though it still bothers me that it wasn't just given a different name. Also another complaint is that all of the mask stunts and even the cigar cutter thing were copied straight from Darkman. I would recommend that any of you who thought the mask stunts were good to go out and rent Darkman (it's a lot better at pulling these stunts off). I will give this movie credit for acting. It had better actors than the typical action film. So if you want to see this movie then fine but i would still recommend Darkman or just a Bond flick more highly.
