How about Mission I've Seen it All Before

Rating: 5/10 (30 May 2000)

If you've seen the trailer then you've seen the whole movie. Don't go to this one hoping for a great story with twists and turns like the first MI. John Woo's slow motion direction style made a slow movie even slower. Someone should inform him that once you use the same special effect twice or more to provide a twist to the movie you shouldn't continue to use it over and over. If people couldn't see what was coming in this one well before it happened then they must have been asleep. One other tip for Mr. Woo, from watching his fight sequences I believe he must play Tekken 3 too much. If anybody has ever played the game you'll know what I mean. I'm sure Dougray Scott is kicking himself for passing on the role of Wolverine in the upcoming X-Men movie for the role of such an easily forgotten villain. I guess that's it, I did give it a 5 out of 10 before writing this comment, but as I wrote it I couldn't really think of a reason why I gave it such a high score.
