The question I have about this movie, and the first one, for that matter is what is with the personnel department at IMF?  This is two movies in a row with a rogue employee.  Great screening process guys.

John Woo did better work when he made low budget flicks with unknown actors and actresses. The worst performance in this movie goes to the bad guy, he just isn't evil enough and just isn't any good at being evil. Tom Cruise isn't much better as a hero, nowhere near as good as the first one. Best Scene: I can't think of any.

Mission: Impossible II 2-Disc Set DVD

This is perhaps one of the worst action movies of all time. First of all, it is so removed from the premise of the original Mission: Impossible series that people wouldn't even recognize it as a sequel were it not for the title. Second, the plot is as predictable as they come: a bad man wants to threaten the world with a virus and the hero has to stop him, plus the girl is in danger; give me a break. Third, there is a truckload of slow-mo action scenes that might look good in the first minutes, but then they become tiresome since the amount of them has to be seen to be believed. Fourth, the action scenes are so over-the-top as to be ridiculous: Hunt (Cruise) can avoid bullets and perform stunts so exhaggerated as to be utterly laughable. Fifth, the movie has so many plot holes and absurdities as to be completely irritating: whenever Hunt has to infiltrate the bad guys' team, he wears a mask and can impersonate anyone, even people who were never seen before, or who are taller or fatter, whatever. At one point, one of the bad guys is killed because Hunt makes him wear a mask of himself. Just imagine, Hunt was carrying a mask of HIMSELF! How's that for deus ex machina. And what about the virus that is transmitted through blood in certain scenes, then suddenly is supposed to be airborne 'cause otherwise the plot wouldn't work? Pathetic. Sixth, the movie copies left and right from superior movies; most of it is pale imitation of Bond movies, and the rest is taken from some Hitchcock's classics or superhero movies (yeah, Cruise is also so strong in this film that he could rival Superman).All in all Mission: Impossible II is one of the worst summer movies I've ever seen in my life, and should be avoided like the plague.

This movie had two redeeming qualities: awesome visuals(action & scenery)and Richard Roxburgh(Hugh Stamp). The action scenes and shots of landscapes were wonderful to see and R.R. is just pure eye-candy. I looked at this man right in the first scene where he is in the cockpit and thought, "This man is pure gold." About the plot; there are enough negative comments here about that, so I don't think you need mine. Overall, a thoroughly enjoyable mindless movie.

Ok, if you want cheap rip-offs of other movies added with poor acting and even less plot this is a must see. If you want a good movie than forget this. Cheap thrills abound, if you can call them thrills at all. Definitely not recomended.

Mission: Impossible II 2-Disc Set DVD

This movie is worth watching for its extreme cheesiness and hilarious action moves alone. The show is one unbelievable scene after the next, with lots of really bad dialogue, terrible acting, and ridiculous action moves. Tom Cruise is constantly rolling over and over on the ground in an attempt to escape the bad guys and, so it appears, just for fun. There is only one woman in the entire movie, and she looks to be around 15 years old and so top heavy I'm surprised she didn't topple over on several occasions. I must say that I thoroughly enjoyed watching this movie because it made me laugh the whole way through. If you're in the mood for something totally mindless, silly and easy to ridicule, rent MI2.

Now this is such an adreline-pumping movie! It has some wonderful action sequences, great fights, and the motorcycle chase scene is incredible! Yes, the dialouge isn't that good, but that's not what this movie is about. Its about the intense energy and excitement, and it really delivers! John WOo did a very great job directing this film! I reccommend that you see it.

I saw this at the cinema with my partner and his family for his b'day during the summer. We were not impressed. There was only one piece of camerawork that I particularly like and that was with the cars.It seems to me that this film doesn't even adhere to the original series and therefore should not have the title. Appalling.

This moving was good, but the reason that I liked the first one was because the Ethan Hunt character didn't seem like 007. In this movie, he was an American 007. I didn't really like that. I like John Woo's directing, but I like Brian DePalma's directing better....even if he is a Nazi sympathizer.

Jumpy story editing and uneven pace detract from this movie. The action sequences are classic John Woo, but I felt like I was spenging the whole movie waiting for them- love scenes were more of a prelude than a driving force. Cheesy South African "gay" villian was also an unfortunate cliche.

As always, action adventur films are great, but this one misses the mark. Identical stunts and a lame plot make for a real loser here. Example: Cruise detonates a bomb near a doorway and walks by it while a door flies through the burning doorframe. Talk about cheesy... Jon Woo embarassed himself.

There was so much hype building up this movie that I don't think it lived up to my expectations. The action sequences were awesome but they were too few and far between. It didn't establish its own identity as a movie; I thought I was watching a Bond movie.

IM2 is poorly made and seems to mirror Bond films in its need for action and excitement. This film is a mockery of the idea behind IM. There are no mind games or intrigue, rather a very thin tranparent plot with a HUGE budget, big stars and JOHN WOO's infamous and trite directing abilities.

Great, another movie where Tom Cruise is flexing his muscles. Nevermind about acting, all we need is action and loud noises, bright lights, and sex appeal. From a climber's viewpoint, Cruises' solo off the cliff is both dumb and unconvincing. The man cannot climb, and the public should be reminded that all climbers are not reckless, nor climb without ropes.

A sequel that beat the original. I normally hate Tom Cruise, and this was typical Tom Cruise, but he was great. Your standard James Bond plot, but this one was done well. Could it be the supporting actors, or the special effects that carried this tired old theme into something worth $7.00.

Aside from some of the artsy fight scenes, I did not find MI2 to be entertaining at all. Tom Cruise did not pull off the fighting scenes very well and I thought the story line to be rather trite. There were too many differences between the character of Ethan between MI1 and MI2. I thought that the story line could have been better.

If you like action, this movie's loaded with it. Different from the more suspensful and mysterious MI1. MI2 is non-stop, Jon Wu, face-off style action. The plot is simple, but straight forward. Excellent fighting scenes. A good movie for people who just want to sit back and enjoy some action.

Mission: Impossible II 2-Disc Set DVD

This is a movie of extremes, and, if you know what you're getting yourself into, you might really enjoy it. I expected a predictable plot, terrible dialogue, below average acting, a smoking hot female lead, and wild action scenes. And that's what I got, so I was happy walking out of the theater. Actually, though, the dialogue was worse than terrible. It was idiotic. At one point Tom Cruise is in bed with a woman he's falling in love with and the camera freezes on him giving her a long, serious gaze - making us think he's about to utter something profound. "God, you are SO beautiful," he says. God, you are SO beautiful? That's the best line a highly-paid team of script writers can come up with? Packed with cliches, devoid of good acting, propelled by a plot so predictable it can be guessed by a 6th grader after the first 10 minutes - "Mission Impossible 2" is not a very good movie. But John Woo throws in some great action scenes, including motorcycle chases, fist fights, sky dives, mountain climbing, and the obligatory car chases. So if you want to see some high-budget action (and a truly beautiful actress in the main female role), MI2 is a good call. But don't expect much more.

Usually, good action and a hot female lead are the perfect ingredients for a great movie. However, the dialogue was so laughable at times that it hurt the rest of the movie. It really didn't bother me that it was incredbily predictable or that it was completely unrealistic (after all, how many action movies are realistic). What bothered me was the script which seemed to be written by a first grader.

My friend has a motorcycle license. After the movie I asked him if he'd ever swung his body off the bike and just skidded along on the soles of his feet alongside it like Tom Cruise did in the movie. He said that he hadn't--that it's not possible. Maybe with roller skates. Basically, the movie's unrealistic but worth seeing.

I gave this movie a five because the graphics were so cool. The part when he was climbing on the mountain in the beginning looked real. The martial art moves that Tom Cruise does is amazing.

Mission: Impossible II 2-Disc Set DVD

I'm still on Planet Earth right?!?!? Hello!! People work with me here. Where to begin, where to begin. How 'bout I walked out of this film in the first half hour and demanded my money back! I couldn't believe what a parody this was of the first one. I didn't think the first one was fantastic but at least it stayed in line with the type of visuals, acting, and suspense of the show. This thing was just a non-stop "oh my god is this cheesey" scene after another. When he's rock climbing and jumps 20 feet and DOWN to his right and slides down the rock face until he suddenly grips a protrubing pebble?!!? Then he decides to turn himself around and hang for a couple of minutes while he stares off into space with a "Goddamn I'm cool" look on his face. Or the bathtub scene, or the dance floor, or the two cars doing 360 after 360 stuck together. Give me a break!

I rate this movie a 4 because it was visually awesome. John Woo is the master of camera effects. Despite the horrible plot, it was a good movie to watch, much better than Mission Impossble 1.

If you can suspend reality, MI:2 was an enjoyable movie. The chase scene was a little unbelieveable, and the plotwas a tad predictable... but what do you want from Hollywood. If I wanted to see an intellectual film, I would not have watchedthis...pure mental candy.

I enjoyed the movie, some great stunts, great scenery and some suspense...It was "entertaining", not real thought provoking or something that you've "just gotta see".
