Mission: Impossible II Rezensionen & Wertungen
- Nathan Magretavor 4 TagenIt's fun, but it's definitely pretty simple with no real substance, as it relies too much on the cool action sequences.
- Cole17. April 2025Perhaps I treated you too harshly. Dramatic aura farm with hype moments and John Woo sauce. Best Tom has looked, can’t lie. I promise you we do not care for Nyah, though.
- Ryan Collinsonvor 7 TagenJust as bad as I remember when it came out. I am rewatching them all, because I have only seen half of them. I was dreading this one but pushed through. Ethan Hunt somehow becomes James Bond/Neo and the film has terrible character development. I absolutely hated the way this was directed when it came out, even worse now.
- Andy Lee23. Mai 2025It’s kinda boring to be honest but I laughed really hard a few times at how over-the-top it was, so not a total loss.
- Austin Burke19. Mai 2025The second entry in this iconic franchise is often considered the worst of the bunch, and for good reason, but it is not without its small victories. The biggest struggle here is finding the right balance between complex and convoluted, which is a victory we see from almost all of the sequels that follow. The editing is reminiscent of Woo’s other films, but it is such a drastic difference from the first film. The subtitles of Hunt’s first mission are absent, and the overly stylized action sequences become the focal point. Hunt gets some fantastic moments here, and his character is improved from the first, but the entirety of the plot surrounding him is far less interesting. There isn’t anything overly memorable about this script or the villainous entity, and some of these scenes are just so far over-the-top. Regardless, even the worst of this franchise can provide some fun moments, and Woo remains a fun action-centric director to watch.
- Harish Cousal17. Dezember 2025Stylish, over-the-top, and unapologetically 2000s. John Woo turns action into slow-motion opera. Less spy, more spectacle. Ridiculous—but fun in its own way
- nicpederson8. August 2025more exciting than the first, but a bit on the cheesy side.. i think there were at least 3 unnecessary flip kicks.. still fun, but not epic at all
- Richard6. Dezember 2025I saw this one in cinema back in 2000 and John Woo’s fingerprints were everywhere. The slow motion doves, balletic shootouts, motorcycle duels and cliff climbing stunts gave the film a glossy, operatic style that was thrilling on the big screen. Tom Cruise leaned fully into the spectacle, delivering the charisma and daredevil energy you expect. But while Woo’s flair made the action memorable, it shifted the franchise away from its core. The first Mission: Impossible was about spy tension, clever twists, paranoia and the thrill of espionage. This sequel traded that for melodrama and excess. Dougray Scott’s villain felt thin, the romance subplot dragged and the virus plot was more excuse than intrigue. Watching it in cinema, the spectacle was dazzling, but it wasn’t the heart of the series. Later entries found the balance again, blending tension with action. This one remains a stylish detour, fun in its own way, but not the sharpest mission. A flashy John Woo showcase that entertains with style, but lacks the spy game edge that defines the stronger entries in the saga.
- Samy323229. Oktober 2025Very good, no complaints hahaha 💪
- Marcellus Suber30. September 2025In truth, it's the worst of the series. This is not to say it's a bad movie. It just chooses style over substance, attempting to make Tom into a superhero of sorts. Glad they rebounded with III.
- Hakihiko24. September 2025Stylish but Overindulgent "Mission: Impossible II" takes the franchise in a flashier, more exaggerated direction, leaning heavily on John Woo's stylistic trademarks-slow motion, dramatic standoffs, and plenty of explosions. While the action is undeniably entertaining at times, the movie often feels more like a glossy action showcase than a tightly crafted spy thriller. Tom Cruise commits fully, delivering the stunts and charisma you'd expect, but the story itself is thin and predictable, with a villain who never feels particularly threatening. The romance subplot, while given lots of screen time, comes across as forced and takes away from the momentum of the action. Visually, the movie is slick, and a few sequences are memorable for their scale and style, but overall it lacks the cleverness and sharpness that define the stronger entries in the series. Overall, a decent action flick with some fun moments, but too over-the-top and shallow to stand out in the Mission: Impossible saga.
- James Saenz6. Mai 2025“this punk put a hole in my versace!” i was fucking ECSTATIC when i saw brendan gleeson on screen. then found out that his role was so small and that made me sad. HOWEVER, we get doves surrounding ethan hunt as if they’re his familiars, harbingers of ass kicking. john woo’s style is so electric, melodramatic storytelling oozing with charisma. from the slow motion to the frenetic editing to the transitions from the rock and roll arrangement of the mission: impossible theme to choral scores, it’s all so over the top and charming. and the actual action?? exhilarating. sweeping camera shots and hints of wire fu abound here. tom cruise is an absolute animal for the stunt work he does himself, from the free solo climb in the opening to the insane motorcycle stunts in the finale. i truly can’t fathom how he keeps managing to one up himself in this series and am so excited for what’s to come. a lot of the paranoia and tension typical of traditional spy thrillers found in the original are lost here in favor of elements found in more standard blockbuster action films, but that comes with its own appeal. one style of camp traded for another. i will say that i much prefer the narrative of the original, and the first half of this movie doesn’t engross me once we move on from the foreplay between ethan and nyah. once we’re at the biocyte break-in john woo’s able to lock in and he doesn’t take his foot off the gas until the end credits, and i love how the final shot is reminiscent of seurat’s a sunday afternoon on the island of la grande jatte. woo rocks. dudes rock. what i love about franchises where each film is directed by a different individual is it really feels like a microcosm of artistic conversation. art is political in the sense that it’s constantly a result of one person’s response to their environment or upbringing or another artists’ work, and so seeing directors in direct dialogue with each other within the framework of a series makes the developments of each entry feel more personal and provides more depth for the experience. you can still feel how they’re trying to suss out the tone and atmosphere of the series here, like they’re still unsure of who ethan hunt is as a character and it feels very experimental in comparison to the first film and i just find that so intriguing. i know once we get to mcquarrie he becomes the permanent director for the series, so i’m really just trying to absorb and appreciate the time we have with each director’s vision beforehand, and by god does john woo have the juice.
- Lincoln and Blake Frank17. September 2025Wow! Too much romance the whole show "looking into each other's eyes" 🙄
- Dave3. September 2025I used to love this movie but have come to a place where upon rewatching recognize that it didn't age as well as I would have liked. Still good, still loaded with action but lacking any sort of realistic execution of the action kind of made it harder to watch for me now.
- Kevin Ward7. Juli 2025Part 2 of our M:I watch thru. There's not much here that's quite as iconic as the first one aside from John Woo's trademark action and slow motion doves, but still a really fun rewatch. So much of the is over-the-top that it had us laughing during many scenes. Still, Cruise is performing in earnest and it's mission:impossible not to enjoy Thandiwe Newton on screen. The family unanimously agreed 1 is better than 2, though.
