Dull until the action...

Rating: Null/10 (14 June 2000)

Mission Impossible 2 is a good movie but is kind of dull until the action sequences kick in. The dialogue is rather cheesy, the story is not the best and, in my opinion, I think the first hour of this film should have been cut out. The chemistry between Tom Cruise and Thandie Newton is very good throughout the movie but it isn't until the John Woo action sequences until this film truly shines. All the action sequences in this movie were very well choreographed and they screamed "John Woo." The Martial Arts were outstanding and it shows that Tom Cruise has knowledge of the martial arts. The motorcycle chase was also a highlight. All in all, Mission Impossible 2 is better than the original movie but I think the first hour should have been cut down. This film should have focussed more on the action sequences. Also check out a cool remix of the Mission Impossible theme performed by Limp Bizkit which can be heard throughout the film.
