Richard L @KaneLives Sep 19, 2026 The white dove rushing out of frame in dramatic slow-motion isn't the only snort-worthy moment in this weirdly self-serious mess of plotholes and spy clichés. Even the action scenes are messes of cuts where half the time it's hard to see what's going on, leaving very little reason to give this sequel a chance. See more Huntin P @PaxVobiscum80 Sep 14, 2026 I may be against the tide on this one, but I don't care. I've warmed to MI2 with the passing of the years. It's an unapologetic actioner. Cruise had evidently concluded that he was never going to win an Oscar, so he might just as well have fun being a movie star. He was at the height of his movie star handsomeness, and he is well matched for pulchritude by Thandie Newton. Anthony Hopkins makes an appealing cameo. This John Woo production is way better than the appalling Face/Off. MI2 is a shameless rip-off of Hitchcock's superior thriller, Notorious, but for stunts, explosions, chases, and martial arts, it's an entirely different movie animal. This was the last MI movie before the Simon Pegg (Benji) era began, after which things became rather more jokey and the plotlines much more OTT. I mean seriously, that whole episode in Dubai (Ghost Protocol) makes precisely no sense whatsoever. By comparison, MI2 is commendably straightforward. Enjoyable.

See more Renaldo D @RT30888824 Aug 14, 2026 A weak movie with awkward choreography and terrible character development. See more Kyle M @RT77296778 Jul 13, 2026 Previously proceeded more intelligently on grounded level as this focused more on style including the outstanding action, a gravitational step-forward on those buoyant, performatively reflected terms for the franchise which costed its unbalanced screenplay to be comparably mundane and more questionable. Fortunately, the forthcoming path transitionally executed each entry more balanced on entertaining ascension. (B+) See more Read all reviews
