poor sequel

Rating: 8/10 (15 January 2003)

this movie, unlike mission impossible 1, is bad. first of all when i see mission impossible i expect to see a twisted and creative plot, but in this movie the plot doesn´t exist (the man who wrote about chimera should be executed right now). the whole movie is an excuse to show big chases, action, good-looking characters and of course lots and lots of explosions and shootings. how much money did they pay to hopkins to play something in this movie?. tom cruise is ok as ethan hunt but it seems that it's more important to him to keep his hair tidy than to act, in this movie he looks like a common playboy, when he should look as a secret agent like in mission impossible 1. the girl (whatever her name is) acts terrible and she is a pain the whole movie. so is the bad guy dougray scott (how did this dumbass got casted as the co-star?) unbelievable. the only good thing about the movie are some action scenes like the plane crash at the beggining, it is the least we can expect from john woo (broken arrow, face off and lots of good chinese movies). if you look for a good movie look for the godfather, if you look for an action movie look for terminator and if you look for mission impossible watch the tv series.
