Do we really need 2 Bonds?

Rating: Null/10 (26 May 2000)

I would have to say, if you held up a James Bond movie and this one, up to the light, they would pretty much look the same, except in this movie.. its.."Hunt...Ethan Hunt" The plot in MI2 has been used... oh Id say in about 893 other movies before this one. Not alot of different "good guy" characters like in the first movie. Its ALL Cruise.. and tuff @%&$ if ya dont like lookin at his smirky, I'm so gorgeous, and so wonderful.. face... because its a little over 2 hours of that.. The action was "Bondy" and a couple of times.. WAY too much and overboard... He did alot of the stunts himself so that actually made the scenes look more real, but then again I just watched Dennis Quaid the other night talk to his son 30 years in the future on a ham radio.. and that looked real too....The end fight scene I thought went on WAY too long. If you ever punched someone in face (in real life) just once... the odds are good you'd break a finger or 2. These guys waled on each other for 20 friggin minutes. Not counting the 42 "Matrix Kicks" and Slow motion tumble split leg clamp chop flip kicks Cruise performed. There is ALOT of slow motion in this movie. I think without it this movie would have actually ran for 1hour and 5 minutes. The comic relief came from Ving Rames about twice and both times he was compaining on somebody messin up his clothes. The girl in this movie was cute, but if expects to be an actress she should learn more than that same smile she used in 90% of her screen time. All in all... It made me wish Stallone had an action movie out this summer... and thats pretty bad...
