Nice action movie

Rating: 8/10 (31 May 2000)

Overall I thought that Mission Impossible II was a nice action movie. While it is true that MI2 deviates from the original TV series in that it is more of a single man doing all the work instead of a team. But if you can overlook this part of the movie and not compare it to the series then you should enjoy this one.
John Woo includes his classic cinematography, slow-mo shots, which some people claimed were overused. I think the slow-mo added to the scenes.
I also give kudos for Cruise doing his own stunts.
While some of the scenes where unbelievable, rock climbing scene, and motorcycle joust scene, I can't help but wonder about when movies had to be believable.
I do have one last thing to say. If Ethan Hunt could exist he would beat the tar out of Bond.
I give this movie an 8 out of 10.
