It's never as good as the first time...

Rating: 5/10 (25 May 2000)

Well, I just saw MI:2 and I must say that it pails in comparison to the first. It kinda dragged in the beginning. I mean, guys, I know how cool Tom Cruise is and am very much aware of his sexual proweness,but c'mon! I wanted it to start off with a bang! Instead, we are given something half baked. The dialouge was very weak and there are some major holes in the plot.Predictable.Predictable.Predictable. The cast was good. They were a handsome and effective bunch. Dougray Scott was very impressive as the movie's villian, but he was weighed down by a bad script. The other thing that kind of made me upset, was that they took a lot from the movie Darkman!Those who are fans of the movie will pick up on this right away. The best thing I can say about this picture are the action sequences! Nobody does it better than John Woo! They were well staged and executed! If you are going to see this movie, may I recommend that you see a matinee showing! You won't feel like you were robbed at least.
