Positive on the whole

Rating: 7/10 (10 July 2000)

For a lazy Saturday afternoon this was the ideal movie to watch. One of the comments. I heard before going in "park your brain outside for this one". All in all this was true, the plot was weak and the characters fairly two-dimensional. But this was not the reason to see the movie, no-one was going to be expecting "Citizen Kane". For a movie like this the main point is the action.
MI2 was typical John Woo, taking many of the sequences from "Hard-Boiled", it was a visual spectacle of the highest order. Some of the stunts were breath-taking, coupled with a great soundtrack it made sure you forgot you were sitting on horrible cinema chairs. If you are looking for a fun movie which requires no concentration, go see it.
