Current Events > Mission Impossible 2 is a great movie, fight me.

(+) Yeah! (+)

While I concede its the worst(or second worst behind 3 for me) in the franchise, that's only because the franchise is so impossibly good. The movie is cheesy, over the top fun, and like all the others is taking on a specific kind of action genre, and succeeds fantastically.

It's fucking terrible my dude

Lies and slander. I have so much fun every time I watch it. Makes me sad the series is probably ending :(

OK honestly the only thing I remember about that movie is it seemed like everyone had a fucking mask, so there were like 5 scenes where someone pulled a fucking mask off and by the third time you're like "this is stupid"

Also the ridiculously over the top martial arts and stunts. Such a fuck shit ass fest of a movie.

lmao I forgot about the masks.
---

the only part I remember was when Ethan Cruise puts a mask of him on the henchman so the bad guy kills him.

dat was pretty cool.

but but but but Limp Bizkit did the song!!!!1!!!1!!
---

I thought the movie's action scenes were amazing. Also, the theme song it had was pretty cool, too.

It was extremely over the top, but intentionally so. I loved that about it. Not something meant to be taken seriously, but just enjoyed.

I've never seen any of the MI movies. Somehow, I just completely dodged them all.

You're seriously missing out.

all i remember is the metallica song and it getting leaked early.

and lots of full face masks taken off.

All I remember is a totally out of place romance plot that dragged down the whole movie. Slo-mo shots of Tom Cruise looking at the girl, ugh.

I always loved MI2

it's way better than MI1 and MI3
---

BTW why is MI Fallout's font way too similar to the font of the fallout games lol

No, just no.

Yeah, after watching it I realized the others don't have nearly enough shots of pigeons in them, if any. If Fallout continues the trend of no pigeons then I think I'm gonna have to stop watching the series.

I remember having the tape for it when I was a wee lad. I watched it and the commentary scenes on how they filmed the stunts. It wasn't till I was older that I realized just ****ing crazy Tom Cruise is. No sane man would do the stunts he doesn't bat an eye at and the director had to have been pissing his pants at the thought of getting a big time action star killed.

Ghost Protocol is the DEFINITIVE action movie. Every action scene had a purpose and there were no superfluous moments.

Have you seen Manhunt yet? I had a lot of fun with it.

And the stunts just escalated after 2,its insane.

The soundtrack is awesome and the final chase/fight scene is pretty good too. I'm probably seeing it as nostalgic because I watched it so much as a kid.

I haven't seen it since it was in theaters I don't think, but I still remember thinking, "what the heck, they should be dead or critically injured and just lying on the ground moaning" after Tom Cruise and whoever else sped motorcycles at each other and jumped off and slammed into each other, then just kept fighting, lol.

Move 3 to last and I agree

3 has a PSH giving a great performance, the fulcrum stunt, the factory and vatican scenes, see more of the IMF, and Ethan becomes a better character
it just has shaky cam tearing it down
