Well, this was a pretty poor excuse for a movie. I liked the first and third but the second was awful. You would know John Woo was involved by the inclusion of doves flying through the under ground lair shortly after an explosion! I just don't get the dove thing. It is a pretty straight forward, brain at the door action movie but the real problem with it is the huge inconsistencies throughout the movie. OK, the acting is a bit crappy, there's the token love interest and everything else is pretty forgettable but its an action movie, thats their nature sometimes. The 'chase' scenes are awful to be fair to them, especially the motorbike one.
How is it that his bike doesn't explode when his gas tank is hit but everything he shoots blows up? How can a bullet fired almost directly at you shatter the visor on the bike and not hit the passenger? Then to top it all off before duelling with there bikes on the sand, the high performance road bikes take an off camera pit-stop to change the slick tires to off-road. This brief rant illustrates the stream of flaws through the movie and I think Mr. Woo should be accountable. Aptech gauss 11.
Tut tut John. If you want action try somewhere else because this will leave you under whelmed. Try number III, its not all bad. I've seen lots of bad movies and lots of bad sequels, but this one was just incredibly bad. I didn't even know it was possible to sink that low. And it wasn't even bad in a funny way, but simply bad in an extremely painful way. I don't even know why I watched it to the end.
Mission: Impossible
The story is nothing but a series of cliches. The bad guys have stolen a killer virus and are intending to let it loose to make a fortune selling the antidote. Very predictable, eh?
The characters couldn't be more two-dimensional if they were in a Nintendo game. Being a tomboy, I absolutely hate it when women in movies have no personality and are just added in as a love interest. Nyah, the chick in MI2, is a perfect example of this. She was the only female in the entire film and her sole purpose was to be sexy (as is subtly shown by several pointless cleavage shots). Sure, the movie wants you to think that she could kick ass if she wanted to by making her a professional thief, but isn't very convincing at that. In the end, while Tom Cruise is engaged in a very unrealistic battle sequence on a beach, she roams around aimlessly, considering the possibility of throwing herself off a cliff (which would have been a relief). I was going to talk about the extremely pointless car chase sequence between the hero and the chick, in which they demolish their cars for no reason whatsoever, but I don't really know what to say about it.
The only good thing about this film is that it was so boring that I preferred doing the homework I'd been postponing for ages to watching the dumb motorcycle chases. I thoroughly enjoyed the first Mission Impossible.
It was probably the only film that puts you into the mind of a secret agent as he tries to uncover a conspiracy that wiped out his cohorts. It had excellent twists, who would have thought that the hero of the TV series (Jim Phelps) finally turns into the bad guy. The sequel however has no plot, no interesting dialogue just mindless shootouts that would leave Gun and ballistic experts laughing in disbelief. John Woo is not a director he is a second unit director that got lucky.
He cannot control his cast, he cannot convey any plot and he cannot stage believable action sequences. Woo seems to be directing (if you could call it that) in his sleep. The storyline seems to slightly mirror the original film in that a member of IMF goes rogue (not another one!!) and tries to release a Killer Virus called Chimaera on an unsuspecting world.
Apparently IMF Boss (Anthony Hopkins) knows the whereabouts of the Villain's hideout and orders Ethan Hunt to plant the Bad Guy's Ex girlfriend in an attempt to undermine him. (Wouldn't it have been better if they just attacked the HQ with commandos etc) In the original film Ethan Hunt gets promoted to Jim Phelps rank within the organisation but in the sequel he is still a 'Point man' jumping around in commando gear. Ving Rhames and his Australian colleague seem to do absolutely nothing in this film other than occassionally tap on a computer laptop keyboard and try to look serious.
By removing the 'team' element that made the series so great it makes the whole thing look like James Bond rather than Mission Impossible. An interesting point to note is that since we know that Jim Phelp's salary was 60K PA There is no way the Rogue IMF grunt in this film could afford a massive private army along with a beach front Condo. Some other laughable points in this film include: The painstaking attempt by Hunt to infiltrate a building by bungee jumping down a giant ventilator shaft while the Rogue IMF villain and his private army gingerly stroll through the front door of said building.
The IMF villain must be unbelievably dumb to initiate a shootout (including explosions) with Ethan Hunt in a deadly Virus/Chemical research lab. The Second Unit Director's (Woo) laughable obsession with White Doves that seem to have more screen time than Anthony Hopkins. The throat elastoplast that enables people to talk like other people including perfecting their accents (South African, Scottish, American) And finally the car and motorcycle chases that seem to break the laws of physics rather than breaking the monotony of the plot. It is hard to believe that it took four years of rewrites and production/ shooting to create this sorry mess. Even the soundtrack by Metallica and Limp Bizkit is absolutely Tuneless and irrelevant to the film. Although it made an impressive opening weekend this film got so slated by critics and the media that it would be lucky to break even from box office takings.
So do not expect an MI3 so quickly. This movie will have the distinction of earning a Golden Turkey award. I knew going into this movie that it was going to be easy viewing, but I thought it would have more of a plot. Sure, the action scenes are great in that classic John Woo, ultra-choreographed way, but the plot isn't original or have much to it. Dougray Scott tries as the villain, but he's not scary at all, just sort of mildly irritable. After all, this is a villain who demands stock options as part of his bounty.
(Truly, a sign of the times, and the audience laughed at that one.) Thandie Newton, who I had never seen before, is certainly beautiful, but she carries two expressions on her face through the entire movie, and resembles Ally McBeal in a tighter T-shirt. And then there's Tom. His character is more of a James Bond clone than the character is the original movie; I admire his guts and fearlessness for doing several scenes (especially the opening one), and the truth is, he's not bad. This just could have been much more. I did like Anthony Hopkins, though. He brings class to whatever he appears in.
Mission: Impossible was a fast paced espionage thriller that actually made you think, which is what I like in a movie. Since John Woo, who is one of the kings of the action genre, took over for Brian De Palma, you can expect Mission: Impossible II to be an intense action movie with a majorly dumbed down plot. Everything to do with the plot is laid out for us basically right away. Now, all there is to do is sit back and watch those classic John Woo action sequences. In this movie, Ethan Hunt is once again a secret agent, and he is sent on a mission to stop a crooked agent from stealing a deadly virus for his own use. I liked the first Mission: Impossible better because it had a more advanced plot. This Mission: Impossible is just a bland shoot 'em up action film.
Now there's nothing wrong with that. The movie was still immensely entertaining. It just didn't fit in with the first film. Even the character of Ethan Hunt, though still played by Tom Cruise, is different. In this movie he doesn't seem as serious about his job.
He's more cocky. However, I do like that the character now has absolutely amazing skills in hand to hand combat.
Overall, if you're looking for a smart spy thriller like the first film, this ain't it. If you're looking for a fun action film with amazing action sequences, this is it.

What a difference a movie makes. 1996's is a smart, crafty, and stylishly-intense Thriller that relies on brains over brawn to sell its bill of goods. The sequel, Mission: Impossible II, is absolutely nothing like the first film. In fact, it takes the completely opposite approach, offering a ho-hum plot and surrounding it with relentless, flashy, and exhilarating action. M:I II is filled with gunplay, explosions, hand-to-hand combat, and fast chases, playing in stark contrast to the deliberate yet engrossing game of espionage that defines the first entry. It's sleeker yet grittier, with a louder, more in-your-face attitude that makes it barely recognizable as the successor to the first entry.
At first glance, that might be a bad thing; many fantastic films have seen the devolution of their series over time thanks to painfully inferior successors that seem to forget what made the original a quality film. Fortunately, M:I II does not succumb to that stigma. Although it is no match for the smarts of the first film, its often mesmerizing and highly entertaining action sequences make it a fun if not slightly disconcerting watch, particularly when viewed in close proximity to Mission: Impossible. 'Top Gun,' 'Days of Thunder,' 'Mission: Impossible II:' do I sense a trend?
Thandie Newton
Tom Cruise returns as Impossible Missions Force operative Ethan Hunt in Mission: Impossible II, this time charged with an assignment that could quite literally save the world from an outbreak of a deadly pathogen. When a top scientist for the Biocyte Corporation attempts to transfer the virus in his own body, rogue IMF agent Sean Ambrose (Dougray Scott, Ever After) has him killed and leads an effort to secure the virus, known as 'Chimera,' and its antidote, 'Bellerophon' for his own profit. IMF tasks Hunt with bringing the full extent of Ambrose's scheme to light, using the agent-turned-criminal's former girlfriend, Nyah Nordoff-Hall (Thandie Newton, ) as bait. Along with quirky Australian pilot Billy Baird (John Polson) and former co-worker and computer wizard Luther Stickell (Ving Rhames, ), Hunt must use more than the guile that got him through his last mission if he is to succeed - and survive - an encounter with a determined and intelligent enemy. More than any other factor, it is the presence and influence of Director John Woo that makes M:I II so vastly different than its predecessor. The film marks the famed Hong Kong filmmaker's third major American motion picture, and it his unique style and eye for progressive and dazzling action - more so than even the script - that molds the film into the final product on display.
Woo's trademark style is seen in all its glory here; M:I II sees a tremendous amount of slow-motion action sequences, punctuated by acrobatic stunts and practically impossible maneuvers that turn ordinary action into a finely-tuned ballet that is nothing short of an Action lover's delight. Actor Tom Cruise seems to fully embrace the style of the filmmaking and the approach to the series.

Long gone is the svelte, clean-cut agent Hunt of the first film. Taking his place is a longer haired, more muscular, somewhat less serious, and seemingly much more deadly agent that often turns to his Beretta first and asks questions second. Granted, the story line lends itself to more gunplay, but the character is certainly a completely different animal this time around. About the only thing that connects him to the Ethan Hunt of the first film is his name and the presence of colleague Luther Stickell. Ving Rhames once again plays his under-utilized role wonderfully. The only price that is paid by the influx of action into the film is its radical departure from the themes and style of the first entry.
Not only does intellect take a back seat to the guns-blazing approach, but there is a decidedly lighter tone to parts of the movie, too. Several scenes border on comedy, with a few visual gags and several doses of lighthearted banter between the characters, particularly early on, occasionally taking the foot off the accelerator before it's floored for an explosive final act. In the midst of the action, M:I II does manage to offer viewers a bit of character development, though once again the radically different style somewhat dampens the effect. It's difficult to add to the mythos of the Ethan Hunt seen in the first film when the character is practically the same one in name only in this film.
This is not a complete re-imagining of the character, but it often seems like it may as well have been. Nevertheless, Woo and Cruise make for a fine one-two punch. Although they have taken the series in a completely different direction, their dedication to making it work allows for a generally smooth transition between styles. Mission: Impossible II comes to Blu-ray with an MPEG-2 encoded 1080p transfer framed in its original 2.35:1 theatrical aspect ratio.
The most striking aspect of this transfer is its level of detail that is far superior to that seen in this film's predecessor on Blu-ray disc. Up-close shots of human faces, for example, reveal fine textures and nuances that seem dull in Mission: Impossible. Colors are more vibrant and pleasing in this outing as well. The print is fairly grainy and noisy in spots, but does not see the abundance of speckles that were prevalent on the previous disc. However, a hint of edge enhancement is to be seen in places. Blacks occasionally take on a dark shade of blue in many shots with a slight bit of pixelation in some of the darker corners of the screen. Flesh tones also fluctuate in the film, ranging from a nice natural shade to featuring a slightly red tint.
Overall, Mission: Impossible II offers a sharper, more pronounced image than its predecessor on Blu-ray, but it is not without its own set of drawbacks. Once again, Paramount brings a Mission: Impossible film to Blu-ray with no lossless audio option. M:I II offers a more pronounced and efficient track than that which was heard in the previous film's Blu-ray presentation. It's generally explosive and a well above-average effort in the world of lossy soundtracks on Blu-ray. The track is often dynamic, with excellent directional effects and atmosphere, those of both a subdued and aggressive nature.
Quieter scenes offer impressive atmospherics; the subtle rolling waves as heard briefly in chapter eight help to create what seems like a virtual environment that places the listener in the midst of the locale. Bass is more robust and satisfying both in the presentation of the music and hard-hitting sound effects. Of course, as a more action-oriented film, M:I II features plenty of more opportunities to sparkle, and it rarely disappoints during shootouts and vehicle chases. While not quite as robust and clear as such scenes may have been with a lossless presentation, they are generally engaging and exciting. Furniture often rattles and gunfire erupts with a nice bit of punch throughout. Dialogue discernment is never a problem. M:I II delivers a fairly good listen, all things considered.
Mission: Impossible II offers viewers the chance to gather behind-the-scenes data on the film via several supplemental features. Headlining the package is a commentary track with Director John Woo. Woo provides an informative, engaging track where he shares the history of his involvement in the film, lending to the film a more modern appearance, the film's budget constraints, its themes of love and action and his desire to tone down the body count while keeping the level of action and excitement high, the difficulties of shooting certain scenes, his love for slow motion, and more. Woo delivers a fine track; he's occasionally difficult to understand, but context clues will fill in any gaps. Behind the Mission (480p, 14:28) is a basic making-of piece that features cast and crew interview snippets with a look at the challenges of producing the film, the contributions of Director John Woo and Screenwriter Robert Towne, the running themes of the film, a look at the characters, the action, and more. The piece relies on plenty of movie clips to move it along. Mission Incredible (480p, 5:12) looks briefly at the amazing action sequences and stunts as seen in the film.
Impossible Shots (480p, 34:17) examines the ideas behind and making of 11 of the film's most important scenes. Next up is a music video by Metallica, entitled I Disappear (480p, 4:33), followed by an alternate title sequence (480p, 0:37). Concluding the supplements are two features that also appear on the film's disc, Excellence in Film (480p, 9:15) and Generation: Cruise (480p, 3:36). M:I II is a film that must be viewed in the proper context. Because of the radical departure of styles, fans of the first film may find this one too dramatic a change to accept, while those turned off by the first film's complexities may find the easier-to-digest plot and more relentless action more palatable. Either way, there is no denying that Mission: Impossible and Mission: Impossible II barely connect with one another; aside from the title, the familiar refrain, and the presence of Cruise and Rhames, these may as well have been completely unrelated films. If nothing else, they make for a rather intriguing study in cinematic juxtaposition.
Paramount's Blu-ray release of M:I II is a cut above that of its predecessor. This disc offers a superior transfer, a much more aggressive yet still lossy soundtrack, and a decent supplemental package. Though a prime candidate for a 'double-dip' down the road, Mission: Impossible II is worth picking up at the right price.
