Should I have waited for the video? (Possible spoilers)

Rating: Null/10 (27 May 2000)

I was really looking forward to seeing M:I2, but after sitting through a screening today, all I could think to myself as I walked out of the theatre, "WHAT IN THE WORLD WAS THAT?"
In spite of a few somewhat exciting fight scenes and car chases, the rest of the movie just seemed to drag on and on. How many scenes in one movie can be played in slow motion for supposed "dramatic effect"? How many times can Tom Cruise do flips and acrobatic twirls and not come across looking cheesy? At various points in the movie, the music did not seem to fit the scene. Hans Zimmer, by the way, also did the soundtrack for "Gladiator", and at times there was a strong resemblance to both movies' soundtracks.
It's been a long day, and sitting through this movie did not make it any better, and so I'll just cut my review short. I'm just relieved that I went to a matinee, but now I'm beginning to wonder if I should have waited for the video. Oh well...
I give this one a 5 out of 10
