MUCH better than the first one

Rating: Null/10 (1 December 2000)

I personally thought M:I-2 was MUCH better than the first M:I. The first one had a complicated storyline and barely had any action except for the train scene at the end. M:I-2 was much easier to follow and there was MUCH MORE action. I loved the special effects and the music was so good. And as Thandie Newton put it, "Beautifully orchestrated fight sequences." I thought the acting was so good. Dougray Scott played an awesome bad guy. Tom was much more aggressive. He also showed his amazing athletic ability. Thandie Newton was also great in this film. The places the movie was filmed at were beautiful. The action was so awesome. I haven't seen that much action in a film since Speed starring Keanu Reeves and Sandra Bullock. One of my favorite parts in the movie is when Tom walks across a room surrounded with fire in slow motion. The fire is reflecting in Dougray's eyes and Tom has suck a slick and angry look on his face. It's one of those good guy and bad guy have an eye-to eye moment. The music playing on the part fits that moment perfectly. Everyone disagrees with me, but that is such an intense part in the film. I really enjoyed the rock climbing scene and the scene at the end when Dougray and Tom are fighting by hand and with no guns. In every scene there was action. The first one was boring and confusing, but M:I-2 kept me entertained the whole time.
