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.

I'm a fan of Heroic Bloodshed but you drizzle in the aesthetic we all were assaulted with in 1999/2000 and I'm slinking away. John Woo being all oh I know what the Americans like. The best thing to happen to the mission impossible franchise was 9/11 nipping it all in the bud. Ethan you're getting a haircut and tearng down your limp bizkit posters immediately, this franchise will get incredible again. (I want to watch the 3.5 hour long nightmare version of this so bad)

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!

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.

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.

The John Woo-ness of it all just doesn’t work here. It’s all there, but somehow put together all wrong. And this is not me being snobbish, because it all came together spectacularly well in Face/Off. I would love to watch the 3,5 hour version, though.

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.

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 fun but there are, without exaggeration, no redeeming features in MI2 (yeah, yeah, the motorcycle fight - it's retarded too). Everything wrong with the late 90's/early 2000's, post-Matrix action genre is to be found here. It also seems like this was the point at which Cruise turned the franchise into his own personal stunt reel.

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?

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.

Classic John Woo, with those ridiculous and much parodied slow-mo shootouts and high-kicks. Seeing Thandiwe Newton in such a feeble and unempowered role after watching Westworld is particularly hard to watch. However, Tom Cruises stunts are always thrilling, and that rock-climbing stuff is no exception.

Whereas the original is laser focused and mechanical, this shit is just masturbatory. I don't wanna make assumptions about Woo's greater output but turning Hunt into a quippy James Bond type with a puppy dog eyed love interest hunting a scenery-gobbling generic supervillain through a tapestry of slow-mo and SWOOSHes? Not a great first impression. The main issue is the actual events under the flash move at snail's pace and the setpieces are too erratic and extraneous to be fun let alone tense.

This film was excruciating. The original Mission:Impossible format worked because it was action driven, but this film is emotion-driven, and the result is lots of slow drama with very little of why we watch these films, which is purposeful, competent action toward a difficult goal. If this film does not put you to sleep, it will at least give you time to do your nails, organize your socks by color, or maybe finally trim the hedge with a butterknife. Escape!

It tries so so so hard to be cool and smooth and visually fancy, but it was risible all the way through. If you make a drinking game out of having a shot at every useless flip or superfluous slow motion sequence, you'd die of alcohol poisoning. The character of Ethan Hunt seems to have been dumbed down, and, no, going "look he can climb!" does not replace displaying actual personality

Seen: 2. I didn't remember much of anything from seeing this movie 21 years ago, despite seeing it in theaters. And the second viewing explains why, with its tiresome action, dumb characterization, and all-out odd place in a spy franchise trying to be somewhat grounded in reality. Enough with the tear away faces! It plays out like a parody. This was no doubt a dream job for the man who directed Face Off.

Worst movie of the MI series. I don't know where to start. Unneccesary slow motions, an unfit scenario, exaggerated action scenes. Nothing to do like first movie. While the first movie was a nicely editing spy movie, the second movie was like a cheap action movie. One of the a few good things in the movie Anthony Hopkins appeared even a little bit and Thandie Newton.

The story in this movie is not great but the actions scenes are fantastic. John Woo really threw his stamp on this movie. This is my least favorite of the MI movies which I think most people will agree with. I was happy with Ving Rhames' return. Anthony Hopkins seemed like a waste in this movie for how small his role was. I didn't really enjoy the relationship between Hunt and the crook, played by Thandie Newton. It seemed fake. It is a fun watch once but that is it.

The second film of the series delivers an equally absurd plot as the first, but the story is told in a much less interesting way, albeit with more dumb action to accompany it. Mission: Impossible nearly crossed the line of brainless cinema, and Mission: Impossible 2 has clearly crossed it. The film is such a mess that I rarely cared about the resolution of the plot, and without meaningful context, the action seems superfluous. Mission failed.

Ridiculous is probably the best term to describe this film. Giving John Woo the job of creating a sequel to the underwhelming first film was nothing short of a ridiculous choice. He does however create amazing action scenes and a thrill dynamic between hero and villain. All in keeping with the themes behind his legendary Hong Kong action films. MI 2 is without question better than the first, although not without flaw to be sure.

As much as I like the M:I franchise and Tom Cruise's performance as Ethan Hunt, this second installment just feels off. It feels like a combination of Bond and The Matrix, a blend that suits John Woo's incredibly stylistic direction but not this franchise. There's plenty of moments of superb direction of well-choreographed action in the third act, but it takes so long to get there that I was left wanting much more. It's not evenly paced at all, and the story can't be taken seriously either.

Not on the level of the first Mission Impossible or any that came after it. There's a line where Ethan asks, "Isn't there any way we can speed this up?" He might as well have been talking about the movie itself. John Woo tries to add artsiness to the film but ends up over-relying on gimmick shots (like the dramatic closeup during action sequences) and slow motion to the point it becomes distracting and hurts the pacing of the film.

Not bad... a lot more action and less plot than the first M:I. But nevertheless, fun.

John Woo on the director's chair for the sequel to the 1996 film, and what you get is a well-made action film minus the originality of approach that made the first one so special. The eye-candy is here in abundance and there's more screen time for that cool fella Ving Rhames too, which is a good thing. You can't help but feel that the overblown plot is just an excuse for unleashing Hunt on screen once again, but you can't really complain: all hell breaks loose in grand fashion. Enjoyable stuff.

"Mission: Impossible II" is one of those films that debuted to big money at the box office - it's still the most successful film in the franchise. John Woo's power as a filmmaker is not only so great that I consider him the best action director ever.

I thought this movie was great...till It got to the ending fight scene. It was really over the top. I didn't like as much as I liked the 1st one though. I thought the writing could've been better too. I mean what do you expect, John Woe is probably used to making these kind of films. When he tries an American film, he just fails.

The (surprisingly few) action scenes were pretty entertaining, if completely unrealistic. The plot is pretty out there, especially the over-reliance on magic masks and the unfounded romance.

While it's more exciting than the the first installment, and in many ways it's an improvement (the characters, style, and action are more pronounced), it's also over-dramatic and takes far too long to become engrossing.

Overly self-satisfied with itself. The Plot was a strange mixer of incomprehensibility and silliness. The fight sequences were overly stylized. That would have been fine if (in normal John Woo style) the whole movie had more continuity of form and style, but it did not. It was all over the map. Also the dialog was mediocre at it's best, confusing in the middle, and cringe worthy at it's worse... And i am afraid to say the movie mainly dealt with the later 2 types of dialog.

For some reason John Woo's style looks like a TV commercial in its Americanized form.

MI2 was my least favorite of the series, but it's still action-packed and has the signature John Woo unbelievable stunts.

Terribly directed. Awful in nearly all respects. Doesn't even make sense with the tone of the first movie.
