This will go down on my list as the better sequels.

Here, Woo just seems to fall back on slow-mo whenever he gets bored, which apparently is often.

With all this having been done before, making MI2 interesting or suspenseful truly is an impossible mission.
July 28, 2015
Still a fun movie even if it doesn't match the high standards of the rest of the series thanks to Woo bringing his trademark over the top action sequences.

Despite Cruise's attempts here to be Byronic, there's something strenuous about his soulfulness; he turns everything, even repose, into calisthenics.
January 02, 2016
The worst of John Woo's American films (though that is a competitive race).

It's fun. It's laughable. It has moments of excitement, moments of sheer idiocy and moments of sheer idiotic excitement.

For all my profound reservations about the whole project, I wound up liking it more, or, at least disliking it less, than I had anticipated. Thandie Newton is the biggest reason.

Good thrill ride of a movie for teens and older.

Woo's hysterically hyper visuals and boytoy gimmickry can't camouflage the emptiness of the enterprise.
March 22, 2002
A strained sequel to a feature rip-off of an old television show with a stealable theme song. On screen and off, no one's getting marks for originality here.

Woo lays on his own particular high-octane stylishness so thick the results edge perilously toward self-parody.
