John Woo hoo

Rating: 8/10 (21 July 2000)

Well, what can I say...I went into this film with my 'this is going to be crap' head on and came out with my 'that was crap, but strangely enjoyable' head on. The plot itself is completely laughable..but then its supposed to be...the action scenes are totally unbelievable...but again, they're supposed to be...and the film itself moulds together like badly mixed cement, yet I walked out of the cinema grinning like Tom Cruise with the knowledge that John Woo had done it again, made a film out of nothing. Ive read a lot of criticisms about MI2, and completely understand them, however youve got to remember that this film wasnt made for the oscars, it was made to sell, and it sells itself very well. All in all, a great action film if a little over the top.....8 out of 10
