This movie is one BIG adrenaline-pump.

Rating: 9/10 (2 June 2000)

I expected a lot from all the trailers when I went to see MI2, and was I satisfied? Beyond that point, I even got more than I expected.

MI2 is one of the best action movies I have ever seen, director John Woo is of course THE action-movie director of all time, and if this movie doesn't prove that, nothing will. The perfectly timed slow motion shots that are Woo's trademark add greatly to the overall movie experience and the camerawork is simply outstanding.
Besides John Woo, the second insurance for top-class filming is leading actor Tom Cruise. His acting in this movie is in one word superb. His character, Ethan Hunt, is a pro, he's cool, he's sensitive and definitely unstoppable...who said James Bond was the action hero of all times? Better hope that there will be no successor to MI2 if good ol' James wants to keep
that title, Ethan Hunt is a serious competitor. Ving Rhames returns in this movie as Hunt's computer-expert just like in MI1, and Rhames somehow adds something to every movie he has played in lately. A surprise to me was Anthony Hopkins co-starring in this movie as Hunt's boss, pretty neat, Hopkins rules :) and his no1 quote for this movie would have been description enough!
"This is not mission: difficult Mr.Hunt, this is mission: impossible, mission: difficult should be a walk in the park for you."
In short: this movie is a must-see for every action movie fan, and try to remember when you walk out the theatre, don't kill the first suspicious guy you see...it's a movie!
