With all this having been done before, making MI2 interesting or suspenseful truly is an impossible mission.June 18, 2002
It's fun. It's laughable. It has moments of excitement, moments of sheer idiocy and moments of sheer idiotic excitement.March 27, 2009
Woo lays on his own particular high-octane stylishness so thick the results edge perilously toward self-parody.July 28, 2015
Still a fun movie even if it doesn't match the high standards of the rest of the series thanks to Woo bringing his trademark over the top action sequences.February 09, 2006
Woo's hysterically hyper visuals and boytoy gimmickry can't camouflage the emptiness of the enterprise.December 26, 2010
Good thrill ride of a movie for teens and older.March 22, 2002
A strained sequel to a feature rip-off of an old television show with a stealable theme song. On screen and off, no one's getting marks for originality here.April 29, 2009
This will go down on my list as the better sequels.January 16, 2003
Despite Cruise's attempts here to be Byronic, there's something strenuous about his soulfulness; he turns everything, even repose, into calisthenics.July 18, 2008
Here, Woo just seems to fall back on slow-mo whenever he gets bored, which apparently is often.January 02, 2016
The worst of John Woo's American films (though that is a competitive race).April 27, 2007
For all my profound reservations about the whole project, I wound up liking it more, or, at least disliking it less, than I had anticipated. Thandie Newton is the biggest reason.
