Shouldn't have happened!

Rating: Null/10 (26 May 2000)

I saw "Mission Impossible 2" this week and I wasn't impressed one bit! This movie was TOO hyped up for it's own good. Cruise wasn't believable as a "action hero". Back in his "Top Gun" days, maybe, but today his protagonist characters are old. For once, Cruise, be versatile! The love story between "Ethan and Nya" was irritating and unbelievable. John Woo is definitely an "action" director, however the slow motion camera movement, every 5 minutes, was on the verge of being annoying. As for Dougray Scott, I hope your superb acting doesn't reflect that this movie was a disappointment for me. You definitely can act, Scott. You proved that with "Ever After" and "MI2". Keep it up! I was pleased to see Anthony Hopkins appear as a cameo. I must admit the only reason I paid for this movie was because of Scott and Hopkins. I personally don't think that they were able to carry this movie, because Cruise ruins it for me, hands down. Sorry Cruise fans better luck next time!
