not hard to follow,but the script blew up in the first of way too many explosions

Rating: 6/10 (24 May 2007)

this movie is a different beast than the first one.oh,sure,it has some of the same characters and is also a spy movie/secret agent film.whereas the first one was so convoluted,you needed a map to follow it,this sequel doesn't suffer from that same deficiency.it's much easier to follow alright.the reason being that they sacrificed story and character for nothing but wall to wall action.now,i'm all for action,but not at the expense of everything else.when this was over,i felt liked i'd been in the Iron Man Triathlon.not only that,but there is next to now believability in this, at least in the stunt dept.the could have made the costumer's job a lot easier by having the characters all wear a red cape and blue underwear.at least there would have been some believability.also,it seems everything in the movie blew up somewhere along the way.i think the script blew up as well.certainly this movie was more exciting than the first one,but there be some balance.i'll give "Mission Impossible 2 a 6/10
