Mission: Impossible 2

This movie, about IMF agent Ethan Hunt who is sent to Sydney to find and destroy a genetically modified disease called "Chimera", is a good sequel to Mission: Impossible (1996)!

While it didn't take itself way too seriously, it had a lot of ups and downs. The action was both good and ridiculous - sometimes cool, and sometimes too long, but still entertaining overall because I had some laughs. The action also reminded me of The Matrix Quadrilogy (1999-2021), and surprisingly enough, it seemed like composer Hans Zimmer still was mentally composing the soundtrack for Gladiator, but I personally think that soundtrack style suited Mission: Impossible II, too. In addition, some shots and edits were weird, but they were just minor flaws that didn't matter, speaking of the whole experience.

In conclusion, despite its ups and downs, this movie delivers an entertaining experience with its mix of action and indirect humor. Drawing possible inspiration from iconic movies like Gladiator, and featuring a compelling soundtrack reminiscent of Gladiator, it is a worthy experience.
