Mission: Impossible II

Шикарный боевик в нулевых)

Имхо, худший в франшизе

and here's the best in the entire franchise. the least improbable.

It's so pathetic, Tom Cruise gets high on himself, you can see this self-admiration and the whole emphasis on the coolness of the main character, slow mo, fire and pigeons in different directions, a lot of looks at each other and a certain vibe of Indian fighters and I like it all, I was able to catch the initial wave of entertainment and still reviewing, I understand why they hate him and why they laugh at him, but I also manage to get a kick out of it.

Thandie Newton is terrible in this movie, here I agree with everyone, cut most of the scenes with her, and normis will be, but Dougray Scott is great and rightfully is not the weakest villain of the franchise, he just had to give more timing and focus more on his feud with Ethan. Richard Roxburgh is still good, he had his wow moments with him, but otherwise it seems like the cast is cool, but they couldn't use them successfully.

Ethan Hunt's errands are still catchy and you want to watch without turning your head away, everything is done professionally and with the right accents in the genre, exactly how an action movie should work, snot in the background is swinging, and fights and chases are reviewed many times. The music in the background is driving, especially Metallica, and you just want to fly on a bike yourself and fight with a friend near dangerous rocks on the beach.

A great movie, a little less serious and a little more action movie than the first part, overall pure John Woo.
Motorcycle chase scene my respects 👏
