Mission Impossible II

I just had to post about this movie. I LOVE IT...yes...everything. The awesome, the silly, the cheesey, in fact, I love the cheese so much that it could be floating 3 feet deep whilst I watch this fantastic movie and I wouldn't care.

The story, although simple and easily written, is changed by the flair and charisma of none other than "Tom Cruise". Yes the psycho who was freaking out all over Hollywood, and yet the same person who has more than a handful of very WELL done and WELL acted movies under his belt. Then there is Thandie Newton, well she's not only beautiful, but as we know beauty means nothing on the big screen without a good arsenal of acting behind it, and yes I'm saying this....her acting in MI 2 was.....great :)

Then there is Dougray Scott...he can play a good villain that you really love to hate. His henchman Hugh Stamp, played by none other than Richard Roxburgh can only be described as well.....amazing :) He not only portrays himself well, but the scene in which Ethan Hunt switches with Hugh Stamp and he watches as Sean Ambrose kills the real Hugh Stamp(who has a mask to make him look like Ethan Hunt) Richard Roxburgh does a seamless job of playing his role from Hugh to Ethan.

The chemistry that Cruise and Newton show in this movie is reminiscent of a deep Romeo and Juliet type of love. Those purists that read this will probably be frothing at the mouth from my review...but alas I just love this movie. It has action, it has explosions, it has a great cast, well done direction, beautiful scenery, and all the cheese that I love. :)
