GoodMovie: Impossible II

Rating: 5/10 (14 September 2000)

The mission this time is not all that impossible. The fights, acting, masks, plot and other 'stunts' however are. It all wouldn't be so bad if this whole movie didn't take itself so seriously, but as it does it defeats itself and is reduced to a laughingstock.
None of gadgets are really original, perhaps with the exception of the voice-altering foil (unless I missed that somewhere else). The trademark pigeons outnumber the actors and seem to get in the way. The CGIs have all been seen before and so has the stunt action. Okay, so I've never seen two cars lock up and spin like that - well, I'm not surprised. There aren't many films I'd expect to see a stunt with such low credibility in while taken so darn seriously.
The very last fight scene almost had me in tears laughing, it was just so predictable and endless. But actually I don't think it was meant to be funny. Just like the rest of the film. Sad, really...
