The television show was STILL better (Yeah, I know ... get over it.)

Rating: Null/10 (18 November 2001)

The television series was better than both M.I. movies. I'm annoyed at Tom Cruise for hi-jacking the title (and musical score) to draw, and perhaps mislead, an unsuspecting audience. Having said that, as a stand-alone movie regardless of title, Mission: Impossible 2 is a major disappointment. The plotting in the first half of the movie is so tedious and convoluted as to make it incomprehensible. The fight scenes at the end of the movie are unfavorably comparable to those found in the children's television show "The Power Rangers"... remember them? I hope Tom Cruise gets beyond this quickly. He's capable of much better.
