A good ACTION movie.

Rating: Null/10 (2 July 2000)

If you choose to evaluate Mission Impossible 2 on it's combined merits as a intelligent piece of contemporary cinema you will be disapointed. That is because this is Dead Poets Society or something of that vain - it is a action movie.
When I first emerged from M:I-2 I was disapointed, I thought the story was unimaginative and the twists a little repetitive, but I couldn't really fault the action or the production - I mean there were a few little impossibilities, but I believe is suspension of disbelief, so I let that slide.
If you view this movie for what it is - a fast-paced, formula-based, Tom Cruise action flick - then it is good. The music is good, the stunts are great, the cinematography is excellent. Mission Impossible 2 may not be a 'good movie' but it is definitely a good action movie.

To enjoy the movie for what it is, you really have to recognise what it is and what it is trying to do. This is an action movie, it is meant to make you go "oooohhh", "aaaahhhhh" and "wow!" - and that is what it does.
