David Hunter

Hollywood Reporter

Newton is just about the best thing about M:I-2, playing a thinly written and cryptically motivated character with such charisma that one hangs on every lifting eyebrow and seductive smile.

David Ansen

Newsweek

"M:I-2," as the new Mission: Impossible is tagged, is a slick, expensive, bullet-ridden thriller that is oddly dull -- the last thing you'd expect.

Nothing about the movie works, and even less is worth remembering.

Mike Massie

Gone With The Twins

Despite the obnoxiously overdramatic nature of several sequences, there are still a number of amusing moments of action and a modestly competent emotional interaction or two.

Rated: 4/10

Tony Black

Cultural Conversation

A film that remains eternally fascinating, particularly as the demonstrable nadir of, otherwise, one of cinema's most consistently entertaining blockbuster franchises.

Rated: 2/5

Dark R Okay this is definitely a 2000’s movie…😄 It’s still a good movie don’t get me wrong; but the screenwriting and characters needed a little work. After the first movie Ethan’s character had already been built but the whole close-up-hot-guy-smile kinda felt like a Romcom…The action was in fact pretty cool, and the third movie makes up for it! The plot was slightly hard to follow but I will say they had a way of getting my attention at the cliff climbing scene; just sayin 😂. Rated 3/5 Stars • Rated 3 out of 5 stars 06/12/24 Full Review Lucas t I prefer this over the first one because of its darker tone. 7.6/10. Rated 4/5 Stars • Rated 4 out of 5 stars 06/04/24 Full Review Charles C Even though this film is filled forgettable characters and plot, and poorly aged slow-mo, the action sequences are enough to redeem this movie to some what enjoyable Rated 2.5/5 Stars • Rated 2.5 out of 5 stars 05/31/24 Full Review Benyamin M Not the best but still an ok movie!! The action carried it though! Rated 3/5 Stars • Rated 3 out of 5 stars 05/08/24 Full Review Commander S The movie was super hard to sit through with the ridiculous overuse of slow motion and cheesy romance. Rated 2/5 Stars • Rated 2 out of 5 stars 04/09/24 Full Review Jorge C No puedo creer que, en algún punto, la saga de Misión Imposible haya estado en un nivel tan bajo, incluso con una calidad peor a la de cualquier película de Rápidos y Furiosos. Rated 1/5 Stars • Rated 1 out of 5 stars 04/08/24 Full Review Read all reviews
