Review of Mission: Impossible II (2000) by Imthenoob — 26 Jan 2021

This is by far the worst film of the franchise. Woo tries too hard emphasizing the action at set moments and fails to deliver even a some-what interesting story. The characters are shallow, The main villain lacks a clear motivation for his actions and the story just fails to gain any traction nor does it make use of its stellar cast.

MI 2 tries too hard to be a James Bond-like film and therein lies the problem. It doesn't have an identity, it only tries to mimic and that is why it pales in comparison to every other movie in the franchise.
