So is the movie a tacky hoot? Yes, but until the godawful last half-hour it's a surprisingly fun tacky hoot. Go to Full Review

C H 2d MI2 is not that bad of a movie. The plot is alright and the action is certainly fun to watch. However, many moments of this movie felt incredibly cheesy, to a degree that would take me out of the movie. The acting is alright, although it is much worse than the first film. And most unfortunately, the movie was just boring, and it made it 2 hour run time feel long. All in all, Mission: Impossible 2 is just alright, nothing special but nothing abysmal either. See more Daniel B Dec 2 "Misión Imposible 2" tiene todos los vicios de las películas de acción de los 90 y 2000. Un uso del Slow-Motion que en muchas secuencias es extraño, una cámara innecesariamente vertiginosa, al igual que un uso abrupto de cortes en secuencias de acción. Pero aun con todo esto, esta película es genial. Siento que esta es la película de acción que cualquier hombre desearía ver: hay explosiones por doquier, las escenas de peleas están fabulosas, y Tom Cruise en esta película convierte a Ethan Hunt en uno de los héroes que redefinió el cine de acción. Si la comparamos con la primera entrega, esta secuela está a años luz de la original. Se notó la ausencia de la mano tan perfeccionista en la dirección de Brian De Palma, al igual que los increíbles diálogos que a través de una palabra resumían todo el conflicto que David Koepp tuvo en el guion. See more Brian W Dec 1 Wow!! A must see that left me on the edge of my seat the entire time!! See more Sho S Nov 17 This is my favorite and the one I've watched the most out of the series. As for the plot, people may either love it or hate it, as it's very explicit. See more Logan G. @SequelsArentAlwaysBad12 Nov 16 Mission Impossible 2 is another action-packed movie with great stunts, and plenty of thrilling moments, but is the worst in the series.
