Tom Should Leave the Martial Arts Alone

Rating: Null/10 (10 June 2000)

From the very beginning, I knew it was going to be a long, unenjoyable flick. MI:2 is a combination of a James Bond/Jet Li wannabe that just doesn't measure up to the price of a theatre admission. Anybody who can truly appreciate the martial arts knows it requires grace -- Tom looks like a monkey; a romance that doesn't light anybody's fire; and stunts that not only defy explanation, flies in the face of common sense. I mean, come on!! That motorcycle scene was a stunning achievement of stupidity.
Don't get me wrong, the film wasn't entirely without merit - it allowed me the ability to buy movie popcorn. But if you can pass on high-cholesterol, wait until it appears on your local TV channel.
