Mission Impossible 2 (2000) Movie Review

Mission Impossible 2 (2000) Review

Hello guys and welcome back to Movie Talks with Tudor! Today we continue with the MI movies and talking about the second one, which set the bar a bit down for this franchise. The second entry is the exact opposite of the first, with the former concentrating more on the thrills and suspense rather than special effects and action sequences and the latter aiming to please the hardcore fan of explosions with some eye popping special effects and action sequences, leaving the story far behind. 

How good of an action movie may this be it does not feel like a MI movie. It does not have the finesse and the poise of the first movie and future entries. It tried to combine the elements which made the first one good with some blockbuster action but we ended up with, only, the second part. 

And speaking of action sequences, the're done correctly and edited nicely, most of the time but, especially in the third act of the movie, it gets oversaturated and bloated with to many explosions and some over the top stunts that you would think Michael Bay directed the last portion of this film. 

We have new characters that are introduced here, with no exposition or very little and completely forgotten in the next movie/s. By my count, that is a totally useless maneuver. 

Undeniably, is the worst in the series but that does not mean you could not have fun with, if style over substance is your cup of tea. 6/10

OK guys, that is my review for today. Next up, the third one, which elevated the franchise. More on that tomorrow. Until then, take care and keep on reviewing!
