not bad and above average

Rating: 6/10 (20 November 2012)

Mission impossible 2 is an interesting movie to look at. The visuals( action scenes) are good as I am a John woo fan but the story is just an excuse to have a good time watching those action set pieces.
The story as I said is not the strenght of this flick. Its simple and overall just nothing special. Tom cruise is good as always in the role of Ethan Hunt but the villain and supporting actress are dull and stereotypes of James Bond characters.
What's steals the show are two thing: the 3rd part of the movie and the style and the way John Woo manage to do those two things together and almost feels like poetry: the sunset, the locations, the fight at the end and the music theme with electric guitar feels like a good mix. John Woo manage to do a pretty good job despite all the flaws.
Overall its not bad if you want a good time check it out but don't expect a masterpiece. Its a decent action flick but not as good as other instalments in the series.
