Mission Impossible: 2

Mission Impossible: 2 (Amazon Prime) is a 2000 action spy film starring Tom Cruise. It is the sequel to Mission: Impossible (1996) and the second installment in the Mission: Impossible film series. I felt betrayed by the first one and only watched this one because a family member wanted to watch it. Reviews on this one are mixed, and I'm not one of the ones who like it. Action scenes are much too long, car chases are much too long... and I say that as someone who generally enjoys action films. I don't think there's enough plot to further the 2+ hour length. There are plenty of fans out there, though, so you may well like this one.

    1. Me, too! The first movie was a complete betrayal of that series.

  2. I like these films, except I thought the latest one (which is only part 1) was too long. Did I already tell you that? If so, ignore this comment. :)

  3. I saw this for the same reason (we were at Kevin's!). And I just think the movies cannot add up to the old TV series. They go for splash over substance and wit.

    1. I think they should have just made up their own group instead of trying to cash in on the old series. These movies are nothing like the old series.

  4. Not a fan of Tom Cruise (though I did like him in The Last Samurai) so didn't watch the first one.

    1. Yeah, I mean just to have on they are unobjectionable (except for the first one).

  6. I've seen them all and they are not memorable, shall we say. I know they're very popular. Good time-wasters, I guess--lol! ;)

  7. Just popping in to say: Doctor Sleep is on my wish list! I sadly cannot watch your trailers as we have only limited data in our cabin in Madeley/Perth...

    1. Limited data would make me re-evaluate my choices.
