A significant improvement on the original

Rating: 9/10 (13 July 2000)

For those of you who saw the original Mission: Impossible and were, like I was, disappointed, then don't let that put you off this one.
I have a read a review on this site, by a girl, who disliked it because of the damsel in distress cliché - oh, please, this isn't about political correctness, and she was certainly capable of handling herself.
This film does use overused plots and ideas, but put that to one side and just enjoy the movie for what it is - a couple of hours of sheer entertainment, with much more professionalism and impact than the original.
Tom Cruise is at his best in this film and is supported very well. Just don't let the clichés put you off.
