This is much more a John Woo film instead of a Mission Impossible film.. It's fine as an overall movie but it's the most out of place in the franchise. The next one y'all are gonna LOVE. It gets back on track and has tension all the way through. It's one of my favorites in the franchise.

Back in the day we all went because it was a John Woo movie. We couldn’t care less if it was Tom Cruise or Mision Impossible. John Woo, man!

MI:2 is widely considered to be the low point of the franchise since it is drastically different in tone but it’s still a lot of fun and very distinctively a John Woo film with a ton of stylized action and melodrama. Aaron’s comp to Fast and Furious is spot on, where they always choose the cool thing in the movie even if it doesn’t always make sense.

Laughing at a slow-mo pigeon shot in a John Woo movie is blasphemy, my brother 🤪

Thank you Aaron for opening my eyes. I always thought this was the worst Mission Impossible movie. No. It was just the only one that was a comedy. I never noticed the amount of kicking before. 😂

@dayzed2 2025-06-01

this movie was kinda oddly paced but the chemistry between Tom & Thandiwe Newton is delicious. I wish she had been in future films 😭
