Very satisfying.

Rating: 8/10 (4 August 2000)

I'm glad Singer didn't go for the obvious summer-blockbuster extravaganza-type movie. The action-sequences are omnipresent of course, and there are plenty of spectacular scenes but there's a kind of subtle atmosphere that is kept going which i found to be very cool. There's some nice attention for detail with a couple of well placed jokes. It's not just loud explosions and people punching eachother (MI:2). Very good casting! I particularly liked the way Stewart and McKellen interact. They both have this quiet authority.This is the kind of summer-movie we should see more often. Keep it up. I can't wait for the sequels!
