OH MY GOD IT WAS ACTUALLY A GUY IN A MASK

This is probably the worst sequel I've ever seen. It is just completely unwatchable. I can't imagine anyone finding anything about this remotely appealing. I don't understand how Tom Cruise goes from Magnolia to this in only a year. jk, a nigga gotta get paid.

"Overproduced" is a good word to describe MI2. "Rubbish" is another.
3	KasperL	20 _4th
Categorize with the likes 'The Godfather: Part III' and 'Indiana Jones and the Kingdom of the Crystal Skull' with sequels so outrageously inferior to the rest of the franchize that one should try one's best to simply pretend they don't exist.

What's all the hate about? It's Tom Cruise as a secret agent. What did you expect? La passion de Jean d'Arc?

A sequel in name only. I came in here to slam the awkward script only to find it was written by Robert Towne and Ronald D. Moore, what the hell?? Maybe it's not the dialog so much as stilted delivery and weak direction -- this is a John Woo film, and he's bordering self-parody. He cut an hour and a half out of the movie, which explains why it makes no sense. This is not a spy thriller, it's a ridiculously laughable kung fu movie. Newton is smoking hot, and that's the only compliment I can give.

Deserves credit for having a more coherent plot than the first film. However the action sequences in this one are far more generic and boring than the two iconic scenes in the first film. Could have been better if they cut the love interest completely and focused on a fleshing out the evil plan, and on getting the Mission Impossible team involved rather than just having one guy do everything. Also, does Tom Cruise carry a bag full of perfect masks of all the bad guys with him at all times?

Is it a good story? Lord no. Is it quintessentially how action movies should be shot? Oh my yes! Viewer advisory: Entire movie is in slow motion.

Not nearly as good as the first movie.

I can barely remember this film because, as I watched it at my house, I realized I had other better things that could entertain me.

The best Hollywood John Woo film in my opinion. It's pretty stylish and tons of over the top action which is great, if you enjoy that sort of thing. Admittedly this isn't for everyone but if you just want clear cut action film then try this one out for sure.

This film is so awful that my brain apparently erased all memory of having seen it. Goddamnit, I could have lived the rest of my life in that blissful amnesiac state. I struggle to think of a single frame that is not filled with egregious crud.. horrendous directing, ugly photography, screenplay is drivel (Moore and Braga?!), actors utterly wasted. Woo spunked $125M on slow-mo pigeons and Oakleys - and it's more cringeworthy than a GoldenEye x Matrix fan remake found on KaZaa. Ugh, what a hack!

"Bicycle Kick!" is the new "Spin Kick!"
1	Ytadel	3 _28th
Why is Tom Cruise playing a character sharing a name with the hero of "Mission: Impossible" with no character similarities? And why did they decide to make the nominal sequel to a tense thriller a kung fu movie?
1	ThaneOfFife	75 _44th
I love bad John Woo action movies. If it wasn't for the slow mo gunfights with doves flying in the air, this movie would be nothing.
1	Grit	17 _14th
An experience like no other, filled with impossible stunts, pointless and excessive use of slowdown and absolutely no plausibility what so ever. It's a comic book, but one which is somehow sucked out all the inherent fun, humour and passion leaving a stinking pile of turd topped by the particuarly obnoxious Cruise. M:I2 also wins the award for the most pointless backflips and rolls in ever seen in one movie. They're answer to absolutely everything, after a while it turns into fucking Star Fox.

Incredible how formulaic this is. Were we happy just watching the same movie over and over in the 90's? It doesn't even have interesting action scenes - apparently the marketing money from Sydney's tourism association didn't stretch far enough.
1	Manhatta	25 _10th
The first one is at least somewhat subtle, this is just ridiculous.
1	DVicknabb	25 _12th
Complete crap wedged between two good, fun action movies is still complete crap. John Woo, please return to Hong Kong.

5 points because what race is that chick
1	begoniabol	20 _23rd
What a shit movie. It's about nothing, there are so many slow motion scenes! GOD
1	astrakhan	88 _96th
Woo's visual style is striking as ever; centred on distilling each momentous scene down to its primal elements, his frames are virile compositions of primary colours and machismo appearing in slow-motion. He also edits differently from conventional directors, and together with the high production values and exciting stunt work it raises this film above traditional actioners. Although cartoonish, Cruises's hero is a commanding character. Almost too intense, but so very satisfying to experience.

After MI, fans and critics agreed: it's just TOO fast. Thankfully, MI2 delivers it all at a breath-taking 8 frames per second and now we are treated to slow motion shots of waves crashing, slow motion car chases, slow motion explosions. slow motion people walking, slow-motion scarf blowing, slow motion grass growing, slow motion paint drying, etc. John Woo has truly managed to put the number two back in Mission Impossible. Thanks Woo. Th-oo.

Seriously one of the worst mainstream movies ever made. First one was passable but there are, without exaggeration, no redeeming features in MI2. Everything wrong with the late 90's/early 2000's, post-Matrix action genre is to be found here.

Only because I was drunk
1	Ag0stoMesmer	2 _46th
Glossy but dull. Zero sense of jeopardy, too comic-like.
1	joel-w-m	4 _12th
Dripping with dumb late 90s/early 2000s action movie machismo (see the nearly lethal sports car joyride, helpless female eye candy, ridiculous climactic motorcycle joust), and there isn't much to mask it (though there are like a billion uses of masking technology eyeroll): the plot is average action movie fare (the added cheesy romance just makes it worse, so does the repeated slow motion) and the villain's annoying. The chemistry and spy-work of the central trio keep this watchable.
1	McKenny92	60 _17th
Reasonably fun dumb entertainment, but Woo's ridiculous style is not a good fit for this franchise.
