Don't get why some didn't like it, but I thought it was fun.

Rating: 8/10 (24 July 2010)

Tom Cruise reprises his role as Ethan Hunt in M:I 2. I will be honest. I have never seen the original Mission impossible film. But luckily, with a sequel like Mission impossible 2, you haven't been missing anything. You don't feel lost. you feel engrossed. Though some of Mission impossible 2's story plot is kind of silly, it's still dynamite entertainment and explosive fun.
Mission impossible 2 involves an ex IMF agent named Sean(played by Dougray Scott) who is going to unleash terror on the world by spreading a virus, and it's up to Ethan Hunt(Cruise obviously) to stop him. with the help of his team, and his love interest Nyah(played by Thandie Newton), who is an ex of Sean's.
The whole thing with the virus may sound a little silly. But don't put that as a flaw in your opinion. M I 2 has some cool action sequences, including the climactic chase scene on the motorcycles. Of the two Mission impossible films that i've seen, MI2 is certainly better. Not that MI3 was bad or anything.
MI2 is a lot of fun. Tom Cruise is a likable action star and a good actor. Actually, a great one. I know this movie was big ten years ago but he is. I had never appreciated his acting until I saw "Magnolia"(one of my three favorite films). I never knew how funny he could be until I saw him in Tropic thunder. And I never knew how lovable he is until I saw him in Knight and day. Since Knight and day, i've been on a Cruise/Diaz marathon.
I still don't get why everyone hated Vanilla sky. But anyways, back to MI2. MI2 is a lot of fun. It's very entertaining, action packed, cool, and a lot of fun. I know it's weird to be reviewing this now, but since i'm on the Cruise/Diaz theme, I thought what the hell. Mission impossible is what got Cruise his title as an action star. And even today he still has it.
