Rating: 1/10 (29 August 2000)

Mission Impossible 2 was a very thought-provoking movie. In that, I mean that it caused me to think that instead of watching Mission Impossible 2, I could have simply surrendered my nine bucks to the people down at the theatre. Gone down to the local hardware store, purchased a screwdriver, stabbed myself in the eyeball a few dozen times and still would have the larger portion of two hours un-wasted with the same experience gained.
In all truth, Mission Impossible 2 wasn't a `BAD' movie. It just failed to deliver what its name implied. I went to the theatre expecting to see at least a little, Mission Impossible. To my surprise, I got a cross between `James Bond', `Die Hard' and Tom Cruise's personal fantasy of himself. If the name `Mission Impossible' meant seventy or so shooting deaths, a super unrealistic motorcycle chase scene (in which the motorcycles used, magically changed from street, to off-road tires depending on the need), little to no intrigue, and a ninja `Power Rangers' type climax, then yes, Mission Impossible 2 was right on. I'd have to say the movie's only redeeming quality had to be Ving Rhames (who, by the way, was in the movie for a total of about 27 seconds). On a scale of `Pathetic' to `Excellent', I give this movie a `Lame'.
