MI:2 (Mission Impossible 2)Verdict: Will this be the challenge to Bond we have been waiting for?Overhyped?... YesAny good?... Yes But sadly this does not tell the whole story. The first ten minutes are great, an all action extravaganza, with (as per. The first one) a bit of a confusing plot and, disappointingly, very few of those really cool masks that give you rubber like face you can pull off... Then the plot, average for a "super-spy stylie thriller" takes center stage, and is basically explained for 50 minutes; which makes the audience feel thicker than a doorstop sandwich. The storyline in a nutshell is a killer virus has been stolen by a rogue IMF agent who has turned bad (dramatic sigh), but not to fear, MI agent Ethan hunt (Tom Cruise) recruits the world's top thief (who just happens to be the stunningly beautiful Thanoie Newton) to steal back the virus by 'wooing' ;-) the thief; involving comments that would make 007 blush. Once this is settled the film transforms into the amazing action fest that you would expect from a film like this. It has it all - skydiving on a winch from a helicopter down a skyscraper, double gun battles making it another great film by Hong Kong Kung Fu veteran John Woo. This newly emerging series will surely challenge the bond series for action supremacy! by Chris M back to the cool stuff directory |
