What went wrong?

Rating: 2/10 (16 February 2007)

In 1996 the first MISSION: IMPOSSIBLE blew the audience away. What a fantastic agent movie. But how, in the name of the freakin' lord, can ANY director/writer miss that much as they did with M:I-2? The good story and tricky agent conspiracy has been replaced with smart looking action, crazy stunts, too many smart one liners and no personality? Tom Cruise has changed from a serious agent to a smart bad ass agent, who only shows "I can kick some ass" and "I can kick some more ass". The action is looking good, but it has no personality; something happens all the time, and nothing happens.
M:I-2 is a MAJOR disappointment comparing to Brian De Palmes GREAT first film. But if you love a film containing a non-existing story, smart camera work, one liners, wild stunts, then I recommend M:I-2, but as you can read, it all happens with no soul and personality and the film is forgotten as soon as it ends (thank God)
