Boring, boring, boring....(did I say, "boring"???)

Rating: 2/10 (29 May 2000)

Hands up those who wished they suffered from narcolepsy when they sat through this??? I wish I had fallen asleep or had to run to the bathroom 8 times during this 2-hour bore-fest. Does anything happen in this movie??? for those who need to know, this is the plot: Ethan Hunt (Cruise) is enlisted to recruit a thief (Newton) so she can get info from ex-boyfriend, ex-MI spy, turned deadly virus thief...let's see, Ethan climbs a mountain, a plane blows up, Ethan and thief fall in love, we watch a scientist explain how heroes need villains (the same video clip 3 times!!!!), there's a horse race, a van goes boom, then finally there's some action about 80 minutes into the movie. Some might say, "this movie rocks," and yes, the soundtrack is very loud and the editing is tight, but the story is about ten minutes of plot with lots of endless NOTHING GOING ON for a long long time. So stay away from this dog of summer, it bites (the big one).
