Definitely a slight disappointment when compared to the first film

Rating: 7/10 (7 July 2000)

Mission: Impossible 2 is definitely not liked as much as Mission: Impossible was. The simple plot and strange characters bring the movie down a little bit in ratings. Thandie Newton has no idea what she's doing while acting as Nyah in this film. I would compare her acting to the acting of a dog! The rock climbing scene was exhilararting but extremely fake. As much as the articles will say: the junk about Tom Cruise really doing the stunt while being 600 feet above the ground with no safety net. His wife wouldn't have let him. Nicole would have hyperventilated like the director's in all her films do when they see her act. This movie definitely does not have the clever plotlines like that of the first one but still, Mission: Impossible 2 is an action-packed ride that will surely give action a new name.
