Mission: BOOOORING.

Rating: 2/10 (31 May 2000)

I didn't like MI1 and was prepared for a bad movie. But they surprised me: MI2 was worse. This movie has a cool, but improbable rock climbing seen at the beginning, and a semi-cool motorcycle chase scene at the end. That's it for excitement. In between lie the most boring two hours imaginable. What little action there is looks so improbable as to cause the theater audience to laugh. Face masks coming and going. Apparently, Tom cruise carries around with him masks of all his enemies so that he can impersonate them on the fly. Then there is the acting -- better phrased, what acting? Are we supposed to believe this cutesy actress Thandie Newton is a master thief? Give me a brake. She looks like she belongs in high school. Please save your money. Watch the TV series instead.
