Story Impossible

Rating: 4/10 (26 May 2000)

Ethan Hunt (Tom Cruise) is out to save the world yet again in this action thriller loosely based on the TV series. His mission, (If he chooses to accept it) involves saving the world from exposure to a deadly disease released by a greedy multi billion dollar corporation. However, Ethan prevails again and manages to save the worldwide population from total annihilation.
Is there a written rule somewhere that summer movies must be loud and violent? I think that there must be because it seems that all summer movies rely on special effects that are much to flashy, action stunts that are way beyond reality and corny catchphrases that even make Al Gore's seem interesting.
I am not going to waste much of my time writing this because the bottom line is that if you like the first one, you are most likely going to want to see the second. However, if I can save just one movie patron his $7.50, than I have succeeded in at least saving one poor soul from the dripping lameness of this lengthy monstrosity.
This film is violent, loud, tacky, poorly acted, and dreadfully dull.
Need I say more?
