This is the action-packed sequel to the
atrocious,
confusing, and dull "Mission: Impossible" based on the show from the 60's. Now. this is a
change from the confusing original and a very good sequel. It's about an agent from IMF who steals a very deadly virus.
Ethan Hunt is enlisted by Anthony Hopkins who tells him to enlist three members for his
team to retrieve virus. One of which is the beautiful Nyah who Ethan falls in love with.
The story is a lot more simpler than the first movie. I would explain the
story in part one, but I don't even know it. Tom Cruise is a lot more agile and acrobatic
in this. He also shows off his fighting chops a lot. The characters are very interesting,
especially the villain played by Dougray Scott. I've never seen such an interesting
villain since Ed Harris in "The Rock." The action is very original. The
best action sequence though has to be the big showdown in the end with Cruise
and Scott on the beach. Classic! The action, tension, and story are all in the right places. MI2 is
highly recommended for all action fans or fans of the movies. This will go down on my list
as the better sequels.
Once again, though the
plot is simpler, the plot is also extremely confusing and annoying at times.
There are plot holes, and scenes that absolutely make no sense. There also
seemed to be a lot of masquerading and mask pulling. You'll see what I mean when
you see the movie. In the original "MI", there's one or two sequences with the
mask pulling, but in here it was done at least seven or eight times. Word of
advice to Hollywood: Don't overdo a good thing. Another factor that really
really peeved me off was, where is the rest of the team? This is "Mission:
Impossible", not "The Adventures of Ethan Hunt". Let's see some other characters
do some stunts and espionage stuff. Let's make this a team thing.
 This is a less confusing and more exciting
sequel to the first with great fight scenes and stunts. I enjoyed it.
