A little bit disappointing

Rating: 5/10 (1 June 2000)

I went to see M:I 2 with high expectations. When I left the theatre, I was a little bit disappointed. I was very impressed with the action sequences in this movie, all the slo-mo shots and different camera angles (thanks to the excellent John Woo) and the leads were great (Cruise, Scott, Newton and Rhames). But what disappointed me was the terrible storyline. Sure, there are some great scenes, but there are many others that are very hard to follow (probably due to the editing process). Mission: Impossible II is a good movie, with awesome action scenes and the best sound effects I've heard in a movie for a while, but it could have been better in the story department.
7/10
