this one crossed the line into plain sillyness

Rating: Null/10 (3 January 2002)

I enjoyed the first MI. While a bit hokey at times, it was still entertaining and had a good plot. MI:2 unfortunately didn't have the plot working in its favor and without a plot, the "hokeyness" and implausibility of every aspect of the movie was all that I could focus on. The stunts that Ethan Hunt performs are meant to make him look cool and almost superhuman. In actuality they just plain look stupid. From motorcycle stunts, to a Ducati Monster not being able to outrun a Toyota 4Runner, to the WAY too long fight scene at the end, the whole movie simply crosses the line into absurdity.
