Help me, I lost IQ points (contains spoilers)

Rating: 1/10 (6 June 2000)

Immediately after exiting the theater I felt dumb as I needed help to find my car, and how to start it and how to turn it on, as this movie made me stupider, and afterwards, I had to go home and watch the discovery channel for cleansing.
It was horrible from the get-go. Tom Cruise hanging on a cliff for no reason, and then the cheesy FX of sunglasses exploding. Good intro to awful film making. Then, there was a rushed romance where I couldn't understand how Cruise and Newton could fall for one another. Cruise's character is suppose to be a bad ass spy, and they both acted like they popped the other's cherry. Then there's the bad guy which seems jaded like his ballet class has worked him too hard, because he is not a frightening man. Maybe the worst bad guy ever. He had two key scenes. One, he gave his buddy a faulty manicure; and two, he cries... and who cares, we know this film sucked.
Bottom line: at the drive-in this summer I expect to see a double feature of M:I2 and Showgirls. With Showgirls being the superior Effort there. And, who carries a mask of themselves?
