Wow, I cannot believe all the hate this movie has gotten!
What are some people expecting a movie like this will be?? This is an ACTION movie folks, nothing more, nothing less..
Is MI2 a genre defining action movie?
No. It's a movie that, unlike many action flicks, never pretends to be something that it's not.
I can only speculate that all the hate for this movie comes from die-hard fans of the Misssion Impossible Television series that aired DECADES ago & from people who thought that MI2 would be a continuation of MI1.
IT'S NEITHER.
IT'S NOT A KNOCKOFF OF THE TV SHOW NOR DOES IT HAVE ANYTHING TO DO WITH THE FIRST MISSION IMPOSSIBLE MOVIE - (Other than it's name & that is stars Tom Cruise).
GET OVER IT & you will enjoy watching it..
If you like car chases, explosions, Bond type evil villans and great acting with a very decent story line that keeps you engaged and never drags or bores you, then watch Mission Impossible II.
A SIDE NOTE:
While on lockdown due to Covid, I have been watching a ton of movies over the past year and one thing that stands out about this one compared to every other action movie that has been made since about 2007/2008, is that, in my opinion, action movies from the year 2000 & early 2000's are of far better quality, have superior production value, better cinematography and are just overall more pleasing to look at, better made and are more interesting to watch.

For everyone who rated this movie poorly, GET OVER the fact that MI2 has nothing to do with the decades old TV shor nor the first movie.
Again, MI2 was not meant to be like the MI TV show, nor was it meant to be a continuation of the first movie.
If you are OK with that, go ahead and watch MI2. You will throughly enjoy it and the awesome action scenes that it (realistically) displays.
A SOLID 7.0 / 7.2 **Tom Cruise** Action flick.
