		This formula was largely repeated in the second Mission: Impossible series of the (The decade from 1980 to 1989) 1980s, though the writers took some liberties and tried to stretch the rules somewhat.

	Mission: Impossible 2: Cinephiles Movie Review
		Mission: Impossible 2, directed by John Woo (Face/Off) and written by Robert Towne, explores the action genre by exploiting the stylization of violence.
		Characterized by a hyperrealistic aesthetic, Mission: Impossible 2 displays carefully choreographed chase scenes and sophisticated acrobatics à-la-Matrix (often shot in slow-motion, although not by freezing and rotating the image), between protagonist and antagonist.
		All in all, Mission: Impossible 2 suffers from the imbalance produced by excessive action and little drama, and by the predictability of a plot that exists merely to exhibit the magnificence of its hero.

	DVD Review: Mission Impossible:2
		Mission: Incredible: Although this featurette is a little shorter at 5 minutes and 12 seconds, it does provide a bit more interesting subject - a more detailed look at some of the stunt sequences that were included in the film.
		Impossible Shots: These are a short series of featurettes that talk in detail about some of the bigger sequences that are included in the film.
		Mission: Improbable: One of my favorite parts of the disc, this is the MTV movie awards parody, with Ben Stiller doing a phenomenal job as Cruise's "stunt double".

	Amazon.co.uk: Mission: Impossible - 2 Disc Box Set [1996]: DVD (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-09-07)
		Mission: Impossible was one of the best action blockbusters of the 1990s, deriving a quality unique among its peers from the tension between Brian De Palma's directorial stylisation and the overriding presence of its star and producer, Tom Cruise.
		In 'Mission: Impossible 2' Ethan Hunt, the IMF agent, returns again for a top secret mission, he is sent to destroy a sample of a deadly disease called Chimera which has been stolen by a rogue fellow agent.
		Mission impossible 2 is no where near as good as the original but still provides you with a good nights entertainment, though the director's use of slow-mo can get annoying.This time there's extras (yeah) with commentaries,alternate titles,making of,stunts & the mission improbable spoof.

	Mission Impossible: 2
		Mission Impossible: 2 opens with Ethan Hunt (Tom Cruise) defying death - and gravity - during a vacation in Utah.
		Unfortunately, the leader of the terrorists is Sean Ambrose (Dougray Scott), a former Mission Impossible agent and homicidal Type A personality.
		Suffice it to say that Mission Impossible: 2 culminates in a gen-u-ine John Woo extended action sequence, complete with impossible feats of acrobatic derring-do, slo-mo fight scenes, burning doorways, and superfluous doves.

		Mission Impossible 2 is everything that The World is Not Enough tried to be.
		Although the original Mission Impossible's story confused the heck out of audiences, it was not that hard to follow.
		Mission Impossible 2 is a good example of style over substance, which is not necessarily a bad thing.

	Mission: Impossible 2 (2000)
		Cruise and co-star Ving Rhames are the only holdovers from 1996's super-successful Mission: Impossible, which, with its ensemble of agents (well, at the beginning, anyway) and familiar character names, at least had some tenuous connections to the classic '60s TV series.
		Plus, "Mission Incredible" is only five minutes long — tacking that on to the 14 minutes of "Behind the Mission" certainly would have worked, timewise.
		"Mission Improbable" is a six-and-a-half minute spoof from the 2000 MTV Movie Awards that features Ben Stiller as "Tom Crooze,", a hilariously delusional stuntman who walks, talks, and dresses like Cruise in an effort to be the best stand-in he can be.

	Mission Impossible 2 Soundtrack
		Tori is one of the artists on the Mission Impossible 2 Soundtrack which was released in the U.S. on May 9, 2000 on Hollywood Records.
		There's not a single cut on this soundtrack to the second MISSION IMPOSSIBLE that could be described as "feel-good music"; in fact, most of it--a very au courant mix of extreme metal and rap--is typified by Limp Bizkit's effective bludgeoning of the familiar theme from the original TV show.
		MTV.com is celebrating the opening of ``Mission Impossible 2'' with a sweepstakes where one lucky fan and a friend will win a trip to the film's premiere in Los Angeles, CA on May 21.

	Filmtracks: Mission: Impossible 2 (Hans Zimmer)
		A number of years ago, when the first Mission: Impossible film swept the world by storm, I voiced my dissatisfaction with Danny Elfman's score and received a great deal of hate mail because of it.
		And now, with Mission: Impossible 2, Zimmer continues that tradition and provides an incredibly odd album with a strikingly disjointed relationship between authentic flamenco styles and bombastic heavy metal action cues.
		After Gladiator, the music for Mission: Impossible 2 sounds like a low-budget rush-job, and it's certainly one of the most unfortunate Zimmer scores to appear in many years.

	Mutant Reviewers from Hell do "Mission: Impossible 2"
		MI2 is the sequel to the mindnumblingly complex Mission Impossible of 1996, but it's only a sequel in the fact that there's a number 2 after the title.
		Where the newer Mission differs is that it's straight ahead, nonstop action sequences, seperated by just enough exposition to explain why everyone keeps shooting at one another without making the audience drowsy.
		Mission Impossible 2 is a disappointment, but it's far from terrible.

	Mission: Impossible 2 (2000)
		When his characters are in motion, as they are throughout much of the second half of Mission: Impossible 2, either in fast cars, motorcycles, helicopters, and so forth, or else pirouetting in the air around one another in heavily stylized, balletic martial-arts sequences, this sequel is eminently watchable.
		This second Mission: Impossible film has almost as little to do with the 1996 blockbuster original as the latter had with the classic TV series whose name it happened to share.
		Mission: Impossible was famously labyrinthine, at least in its circuitous storytelling technique if not necessarily in the actual events of the plot.

	Mission: Impossible 2
		Hans Zimmer, after writing what I think is his best work of all time in Gladiator, took a complete left turn with Mission: Impossible 2.
		Whereas Gladiator featured a humongous orchestra, soloists, chorus, ethnic instruments, and a vocalist, M:I-2 is scored exclusively for a "band" made up of mostly electric guitars, sampled strings, and various electronic keyboards.

	Mission: Impossible 2 by Hans Zimmer
		With many fans being vocally disappointed with Danny Elfman's effort for the first Mission: Impossible film released back in 1996, many believed that Zimmer, with two solid scores already to his credit for the year, would certainly make a bigger musical mark than Elfman was able to manage.
		The worst treatment of Lalo Schifrin's original MISSION: IMPOSSIBLE theme can be found here, with distorted guitars and heavy metal percussion - if you asked Metallica to do their version of this theme, this is probably what you would get.
		All artwork from Mission: Impossible 2 is exclusive property of Hollywood Records (c) 2000.

	SoundtrackNet : Mission: Impossible 2 (score) Soundtrack
		More James Bond than "Mission: Impossible", the film left a few things to be desired.
		One of the more disappointing cues on the album, "Mission: Impossible Theme" is a mere 40 seconds long, and sounds like a high-school battle of the bands grunge session thrown together - except that they can keep the beat.
		I was hoping for an opening title sequence that put the first film's opening titles to shame, and instead we get a rock-climbing session (more on that later) followed by this brief "montage" at the end of the credits.

		In Mission: Impossible 2, the Australian actor John Polson gets a fleeting few seconds to establish his wit, and Ving Rhames gets to hover over a control panel saying things like, "Remember, the louvers are up for only 40 seconds." Otherwise, it's all Cruise, all the time.
		The concept has become: No mission is impossible for a $20 million-a-picture superstar with a team of personal trainers.

	JoBlo reviews the movie "Mission Impossible 2"
		Super-spy Ethan Hunt is once again asked to take part in a virtually impossible mission featuring the recovery of a deadly new virus and antidote from a madman bent on unleashing it upon the world.
		I loved both MISSION IMPOSSIBLE and FACE/OFF, both of which I gave 8/10, and despite this film's few great action scenes, decent acting by most, so-so story, and captivating soundtrack, I can't help but feel a little disappointed with thoughts of what-could-have-been.
		Cruise shares the "mission" with two other agents (one from the original MI), but the viewer hasn't a clue why they are there (their specialties, etc.).

	Mission Impossible 2 DVD review on AudioRevolution.com
		Okay, you can put your hands down now, along with any preconceived notions about the quality of "Mission: Impossible 2." This is a rare situation in which the original was an interminable muddle (albeit with good stunts), but the sequel actually rocks on its own terms.
		While nobody would deny that "Mission: Impossible 2" is an action thriller, it also has a story and people who hold our attention.
		This shouldn’t be an impossible mission for filmmakers, but it’s achieved far less often than we might like.

		I figured that, like the first one, Mission: Impossible 2 would be nothing more than a vanity vehicle for Tom Cruise.
		Mission: Impossible 2 is more cloak-and-dagger suspense than James Bond action.
		Some may say, "Hey, that sounds like a second-rate Bond movie plot." That may be so, however, it should be known that the original "Mission: Impossible" was created in the wake of the Bond-mania in the 60s.

		hen Mission: Impossible became one of the biggest worldwide blockbusters of 1996, Tom Cruise chose to accept another mission: in Brian De Palma’s high-octane thriller and make it bigger, better and bolder than the original.
		This summer, that goal will be achieved with the hugely anticipated Mission Impossible 2, which teams the 37-year-old heartthrob with celebrated Hong Kong action director John Woo for another romantic, white-knuckle adventure plunging special agent Ethan Hunt into an international crisis of terrifying magnitude.
		It was in 1993 that Cruise first hit on the idea of a film version of the Mission: Impossible television series that ran between 1966 and 1973.
