Mission Impossible 2 - Every Mission Impossible Movie Reviewed & Ranked

[@CriticalNobody]

During the beach fight scene, there's a shot of the knife stopping just short of Tom Cruise's eye. That was real. Cruise insisted that a real knife be used so they attached it to a carefully measured cable to achieve the effect. As dumb and bad as MI2 is, details like that are still worth appreciating.

[@askxperia]

'I go to Starbucks everyday, I know how to say Grande' Very funny Nick

[@GeneFJacket]

Don't worry, boys, it'll get better soon. M:I3 and everything after are all pretty dope.

[@JamesCanningCaesar]

MI2 is my favorite, remember listening to that album on a summer vacation when I was a freshman in HS

[@bear73tx17]

I watched this movie at least 20 times while I was between the ages 10~13 :D

[@ParagonKevin]

Y'all are wrong. MI: 2 is a gem. Tom Cruise has the greatest hair in the history of cinema.

[@philglass295]

The fact that Nick is the only one at the table who's seen Hard Boiled saddens me, it's basically the quintessential over the top action film. Still one of my favorites, good on ya, Nick.

[@BogeyZero]

All those times in the comments I suggested you guys do a MI in review, I was always thinking you should just skip 2 altogether because I'm worried it'll scare you off from the rest of em. But just trust me, it's all uphill from here.

[@Siferzion]

I know this is literally 3 years late, but I finally decided to watch the MI movies and listen to these reviews along with, and wanted you to know that the blonde henchmen, who has a south African accent in Sydney, is literally played by a reasonably well known Aussie actor. They have an Aussie actor, in Australia, playing a South African... 🤷🏻‍♂️

[@R3cov3ry]

i liked Sean Ambrose quiet sobbing while trying to give orders to his henchmen and when Ethan was doing Guile flash kicks... thats about it.

[@joshowens8628]

Can we get a "Dead as disco" counter?

[@tarekahmed992]

Unpopular opinion: MI2 and 2Fast might have bad dialogue and useless moments with ridiculous plots but still are at least watchable which is why I watch movies. As long as a movie keeps me entertained for an hour and half it passes my threshold unlike IMO pretentious moviegoers who seemingly rate movies through a checklist

[@jeffdaman6969]

I agree.

[@BogeyZero]

I really wouldn't consider hating MI 2 and 2 Fast pretentious. Especially if they liked the other movies in the series which are also big dumb action movies. I absolutely love dumb action movies, but if there's no characters or stakes I care about, then I'm just bored. Which is not what I want out of my action movies. Pretentious would be if I hated all the MI movies because they don't have Oscar worthy performances and writing and have too much mindless action. But the MI series is legit one my favorite action franchise of all time, and MI 2 is basically unwatchable for me, because I'm just bored to tears during it.

[@gleekthemonkey4570]

If you can follow the plot of a mission impossible movie, then you are an intellectual elite.

[@madsines1494]

Laughed my ass off so many times during this, one of the best episodes of this show so far.

[@aarons.2323]

I'm looking forward to their review of part 3, which I think might be my favorite (largely because it was riffing on Alias and especially because of Philip Seymour Hoffman).

[@marklaw7777]

3 is 100% my favourite. Hoffman was terrifying dude. Fallout was rad though & a close second!

[@Senapsgurka]

Nooooo you cannot call the music in this movie bad!!!

[@shamimnarayan4877]

I like MI2. It was so fun.

[@ZackaryValenta]

Why is the Ace in the intro but not in the show? I feel baited.

[@lachlansteward]

Hot take MI2 is highly unfairly hated and underrated 😒😤

[@thefearmakerlive]

You guys are so wrong, this movie is spectacular. You guys don't appreciate the John woo flourishes and style. Nor can understand the instant passion between Tom Cruise and Thandie Newton that exists when they first see eachother during the Flamenco (not salsa) dance, and explains why Tom Cruise would be so adamant about saving her.

[@cityscape17]

Up next is the James Bond filmography?

[@Threeli]

Everyone's lustfully looking at each other and they're all wearing turtlenecks - I died

[@Dfisher000]

The best thing to come from MI:2 was the Tom Crooze Stunt Double skit they did at the MTV Movie Awards

[@emlynbarnden1229]

I’m so glad Nick is finally pronouncing Thandie right.

[@Gunslinger199]

Best soundtrack ever.

[@denisj458]

Just finished watching the movie so I could listen to this review. It was the one Mission movie I hadnt seen and Y I K E S

[@pajaroprecario]

1:29:40 Tim gave me a small heart attack there. Glad to so see it was a misunderstanding.

[@HermitHomeboy]

Face/Off fact: those weird magnetic boots were also used as jump boots in the Super Mario Brothers movie.

What happened to the visual of the ranking? Please bring back the list!

[@TomG1013]

It’s not called Mission Difficult, it’s Mission Impossible. Difficult should be a walk in the park.

[@portalplayer]

Mission impossible 2 forgot it was an action movie until the very end. It really is a slow paced romantic drama.

[@flash2051]

I totally forgot reviews come out on Tuesday and not Thursday.

[@Sam-jv6fb]

its weird, but it feels like I dont have to wait so long for each episode to come out even though tuesday to tuesday is the same as thursday to thursday

[@MINEvsWILD1]

Limp Bizkit makes the movie worth it

[@captainhook3962]

I appreciate MI2 and if you’re familiar with John Woo it makes more sense.

[@henreebee6561]

…Is it crazy that I kinda liked it?

[@luciddre4m]

This movie inspired my friend to make his gamer tag "DramaticHair" and he still uses it to this day.

[@jizzledoops6789]

So, how is Game of Thrones in Review gonna work? I know you guys said you were gonna cover that. But it comes back in the middle of this series. Will MI in Review go on hold while GoT is airing?

[@neptune_spear]

It may be a segment on Screencast since they have done a few reviews on it

[@ZacharyFinn]

Jizzle Doops Tim said it is a seperate show.

[@Neon_Rust]

It's a separate thing if I remember, they're getting rid of Debatable to make room for GOT in review

[@8bitdee]

I thought that was gonna be a patreon only show since it was tied to that whole fundraising event.

[@CypherC300]

How did Ambrose know to disguise himself as Ethan when he spoke to Thandy after the race track part?

[@DawnOfDoof]

I used to think this was my favorite Mission impossible as a kid and after watching this again for this my childhood has been ruined. One of the worst most drawn out movies I’ve seen. Great in Review tho guys.

[@RandomTokuVideos]

Mission Impossible 2 is definitely not the best MI movie, but I still have a ton of fun watching it. It's so over the top but I love the action, especially the bike stuff. For the most part, this movie is still an outlandish fun watch for me. But yeah, making Thandie Newton a literal mcguffin is not a good look at all.

[@pgs9407]

You guys are too harsh; it's not that bad. Certainly there has been worse movies on In Review. The John Woo Commentary on this is the way to watch it. The whole thing is John Woo Being afraid that Tom Cruise is going to hurt himself for two hours.

[@CheefChaos]

Took the sound track to school day after buying it, someone stole it. Maybe they did me a favor? Hey hey HEAY

[@Roneish1996]

I swear having never seen this movie and having heard it’s real bad lead to me having to spend the last day hyping myself up to get myself to watch it. At first I was like it’s not terrible, like yeah it has some weird creative choices but I like some of this; but then eventually it’s just got to the point where even I was so frustrated by the editing, soundtrack, writing, acting and direction it took me like an extra hour if not two for me to actually finish it and now I am actually angry I say through that. Here’s hoping this series gets better soon or I doubt I will be able to watch them for much longer and I don’t want to miss out on Simon Pegg, and Henry Cavil pumping his arms like shotguns.

[@S0mewhat_Damaged]

Nick saying he'd put Spiderman 3 over it, not a chance.

[@MaylorTaylor]

I can't wait til we get a Kinda Funny Review of all the "bad movies" these guys have watched. I wanna see how KF ranks the worst of the worst.

[@OMGLX]

Wow. I actually have something to contribute! 15:15 The nursery rhyme 'Ring Around The Rosie' is associated with an urban legend that it's lyrics are derived from the great plagues that have stricken the world's population in the past, ie the Black Plague or Bubonic Plague. 'Ring around the rosie' is said to refer to the pinkish hue that the symptomatic sores had, and 'pockets full of posies' refers to the aromatic flowers that people and plague doctors would fill their pockets / masks with to ward off the smells. Nekhorvich envisioning young children singing this song is likely a visual representation of the guilt he feels from creating the Chimera virus, as well as the responsibility he now has after injecting himself with it to make sure it is eradicated and does not accidentally infect others, potentially leading to the next great plague event. Also, this movie is dumb as fuuuuuuuuuck. :p

[@jasonandrews1770]

Still waiting for nick to fight off those wigs in the intro

[@Josh_H]

Tim is losing a lot of credibility by admitting to not seeing pulp fiction, faceoff, or hard target

[@Antreu]

He saw pulp fiction.

[@Big420Tex]

“WELL FEEL BETTER!” 🤣

[@4893mclovin]

2:45 Why does Tim keep saying March? Last week he said it as well. both came out in May over Memorial Day.

[@aarons.2323]

I've noticed that, too. He's got one more movie released in May for this series. Don't muck it up, Tim!

[@scottanderson5236]

Wonder if we’ll get an In Review of the In Reviews

[@Antreu]

Number 2s seem to almost always be the worst in these. Thor 2, Amazing Spiderman 2, 2F2F, MI2

[@kaumranesna-ashari8902]

It has been a long while since I have seen it. The only thing I remember is that the first hour was totally awful. But the second hour was better. I am sure if I go back and watch it now, it will be different.

[@yitoji]

"carefuuuuull" Kevin.

[@watermelonslipstream5467]

Andy In this review "how do these masks work? Do they stay on the lips?? I just cant believe it" Andy in fast and furious "fuck it was so cool when vin disel launched himself over the bridge to catch letty......come on nick just unbuckle and let loose" I feel like certain members like to be super critical of some films and then other movies they are just like "oh you know you just have to watch them for what they are and dont ask questions"

[@watermelonslipstream5467]

I've also never witnessed a group of people be so anal about music in movies, unless it's a really good song I never notice it

[@marklaw7777]

I'd fucking LOVE to see Transformers in review after this, or the inevitable DC cinematic universe!

[@RetroKidReviews]

i feel like there needs to be a in review for face/off just to see all of kinda funny cosplay as the cast am i wrong

[@suzakukururugi0]

Yeah guys, I recently binge watch all the movies this past weekend and yeah, Mission Impossible 2 is the worst out of all of them.

[@kyleboren6898]

This movie was one of the worst I’ve ever seen. But from go it’s so bad it’s good. Nick was right, the right mindset helps the enjoyment

[@CaffeineRedSquirrel]

Every film Australia touches becomes garbage. Except Mad Max, thats all we got.

[@xXENOx993669]

Pitch Black was a great sci-fi horror!

The MTV movie awards skit was better than the whole movie lol. I always think about it when I hear anyone mention MI2. kzbin.info/www/bejne/jZvQo4CFp9R2iKc

[@TheBoomerXL]

Having watched this now my hatred of this movie is reaffirmed, John Woo was such a bad choice for this movie. I’ve never been a fan of his style at all, he really needed someone to reign in his bullshit for this.

[@8bitdee]

Yeah, I'm glad we are past this film. Easily the worst in the series by a large margin. Only gets better from here.

[@LaserMonkey]

How come Greg isn't here? I'm assuming he's probably busy with something else

[@Roneish1996]

Also how did they stretch out what I imagine on paper was like 45 minutes of “plot” and scenes into almost 2 hours. The answer obviously is a shit tone of slow motion repeating over and over again, never before have I been so lost on what the story is meant to be and felt a movie trying to direct me in such a self indulgent manner. This might be the worst movie I’ve ever watched and I’ve seen the room and troll 2. It makes me ashamed to be Australian.

[@zmj1799]

i dont know guys its really not that bad, neither is 2 fast 2 furious tho so.

[@TyranBatten]

I liked this one more than the first.

[@withanx]

User Reviews If only those from the end pigeons would have pecked out my eyes! 27 May 2001 | by giantcowofdoom - See all my reviews No matter how you feel about Jim Carry you should thank him for making the Grinch, because up until that came out M:I2 had been the highest grossing movie of 2000. Which would have been quite awful way to begin the new millennium. Or end the last one, depending on how annoying you are about that issue. Do not see this movie even if Tom Cruise rings your doorbell and threatens to wave his long hair in slow motion as he did so often in film if you don't view it. It has absolutely no redeeming qualities about it at all. The tape inside the film's video cassette is to thick to use as dental floss, To long to work as a belt. Also This movie is not only awful, it is a total knock off of Notorious by the incredible director Alfred Hitchcock. The following parts of Notorious were completely stolen and screwed up by Tom: Cary Grant and Ingrid meeting at the race track and her boy friend becoming suspicious of them. Cary seducing Bergman and then using her in his spy work. Ingrid having to go under cover and marry the bad guy, who is in love with her. Tom, if your going to make a movie that sucks, please don't try and tarnish a perfectly good Hitchcock in the process.
