spoiler way back in the 1960s a wonderful television series be release call mission impossible . with a legendary theme tune and some great story and the series be follow by an equally superb film in 1996. entertaining and well shot and it be only a matter of time before star tom cruise would find himself reprise the role of ethan hunt . it a disastrous fact therefore that this sequel be an abomination . more like a badly shot mtv movie and it be badly act and write and contain some of the bad film fight scene of all time . after sean ambrose ( dougray scott ) steal a manufactured disease and it be up to fellow secret agent ethan hunt ( cruise ) to retrieve it . add ambrose former love nyah nordoff hall ( thandie newton ) to the mix and and the film descend into a mediocre action pack love triangle . from the opening scene of tom cruise climb up a cliff without protective rope and you can tell that this film be go to be awful . when he begin to fall in love with thandie newton dire nyah and youre suspicion be confirm . finally and let progress to the end and look at the absolutely diabolical final fight scene . it never a good idea to analyse the end of a film and but on this occasion and the terrible motorbike and hand to hand combat event at the end need to be talk about . the bike scene be awful . put simply it be a pointless and irrelevant battle which collapse in on itself . follow that and the combat scene between cruise and scott be a farce . set to your typical mtv soundtrack and with mortal kombat style fighting ( include the rudimentary slow motion death ) and the whole scene be a joke with absolute no merit . it feel only fair to try to find a positive side to this film . in that respect the character of hugh stamp and play by richard roxburgh and be the rare highlight of this awful film . funny and entertaining and the character be a surprising joy . it a small positive in an otherwise major mistake . with a feel of an mtv video and mission impossible ii be an enormous mistake . badly write and act and shoot and it be one of the bad film in live memory . even the brief joy of richard roxburgh hugh can not save the film from fail badly . a dire movie worth avoid at all cost .
