Title: Mission: Dumb-Dumb-Dumb 2
Product review: Not unlike its predecessor from 1996, M:I-2 suffers from a poor script and wasted talent. Admittedly, the cinematography and action sequences are very appealing, yet the entire movie seems to go nowhere with the plot. I for one like edge-of-your-seat action AND a good story to hold the movie together. The dialogue here is flat and pointless. Director John Woo does a good job of handling the incredible stunts, but has little expertise in supervising the acting. As much as Tom Cruise toughened up for his return to the role of Ethan Hunt, and regardless of how much money it made at the box office, M:I-2 is best described as a high-priced video game. Plenty of action mixed with a lot of boring filler. No wonder I keep humming to myself "dumb-dumb-dumb..." Sadly, I suspect M:I-3 is just around the corner though.
