Not like the first....

Rating: 5/10 (5 April 2006)

The original mission impossible was a serious movie. There was the occasional joke written into the script, but the whole time it was a serious mystery. M:I 2 had some redeeming qualities, like good action in spots. It did have serious moments, but it was much more light hearted than the first and I guess that is what ruined it for me. It is worth watching and still somewhat enjoyable, but done in a different style than the first. Not a terrible movie, but it lost what was most desirable to me about the first one, which was the serious tone throughout the whole movie. Some of the ideas in this movie were also somewhat ridiculous. It was more over the top cool action than it was really slick action.
