Tom Cruise and Thandie Newton looked very charming

Rating: Null/10 (19 July 2011)

Tom Cruise and Thandie Newton looked very charming, proving to have a great chemistry with each other They also looked very natural I loved the scene when they meet, and how they meet The opening scene came from Robert Wise's "West Side Story" It is boy meets girl, girl looks at boy No story telling was needed With high speed and the judicious muting of sound, Woo made it a love-at-first-sight moment, isolating our two heroes in a very lovely way
Tom's character was a new kind of a hero A person who really cares about people, and enjoys life He has a great passion about nature, about love, about everything
Thandie's romantic life was very busy She is involved with the character played by Dougray Scott, Ambrose who's the key for the Mission team He is the one with the information which Thandie's character has to win back Dougray was a really interesting bad guy, as complex a bad guy as you can get and with an impossible mission...
Dougray's Ambrose becomes disillusioned with being in Ethan's shadow In deciding to have more power, he turns to the other side He forms a renegade band of ex-Special Forces people But Ambrose couldn't even be himself He includes his identity into Hunt's, when Ethan was not available So if he needed to be something, he had to be Ethan Hunt
Ving Rhames' Luther was a balance in the team He's a computer expert who brought the charm to his character Outside of Ethan Hunt, he is the only returning member of the IMF team
"Mission: Impossible 2" gave John Woo the ability to really use his filming style, which is the slow motion on key moments You can see Cruise slow-motion flipping through the air, walking through flames with a white dove sending a message to the evil, running and jumping out of a hole, climbing dangerous scary high cliff, jousting on a motorcycle, trapped in a gun battle, Kick boxing, and having a really sharp and pointy knife in the eye
