Way too serious

Rating: 3/10 (8 February 2018)

I'll make this short. If the movie was what the last 25 minutes are, it would be perfect (in a weird way). But sadly, it is not.
I think that the main problem of MI2 is that it take itself too serious, like, two guys jump from their bikes and collide with each other IN THE F# AIR, but you also are supposed to be worried about a global virus that will destroy the world. And you just don't buy it.
But there are also a lot of shitty things here, the romance between Ethan and Nyah happened so fast, the guy is literally risking his life for her, after one night (or less).
The soundtrack is sometimes a real mess, you go to some mexican type of music in some scenes (with no-sense at all) to some heavy metal type of music in another one. And it just don't fit for the majority of the time.
And, ok, we have to talk about the slow-mo, look, Matrix is fantastic, amazing, but the bunch of crap that came after it is surreal. It seems like the director just saw Matrix and thought "we have to put more slow-mo in the movie! It will be great!". But, well... no. A lot of scenes you can notice that they were clearly shoot with normal cameras, and slowled in pos.
Tom Cruise is amazing in the film when the subject is action scenes. The guy let they hold a KNIFE above his eyes! The dude is a monster, really. He's stunt's are by far the best thing in the whole movie.
Well, in short, Mission: Impossible II it's really not a great film (in fact, it's bad), but the last 30 minutes of it are very watchable (you can search for it on YT if you really want to see), the rest of it is almost everything just boring, way over the top, but yet, very serious about it's crazy plot.
