      Thank goodness I stayed up till dawn

      Explain in a few details why I think this film is bad:
      At first, when men and women met pig feet, they did a lot of depictions of love in the Mood for Love, slow motion, flames, fine wine, I was angry with you, ignore you, you still ignore me Oh, I was wrong~~ Deliberately let every chasing car explode, very like an Indian movie... Every time the protagonist uses a very stupid kung fu to attack someone, the opponent's pistol can shoot 10 bullets... Finally The fight between two men, fuck,...

      I just wanted to make a short comment, but I couldn't help but say more

      Rewatching this film 10 years later is nothing more than an accidental discovery that this film was shot in Sydney to see what Sydney was like at that time. But I feel that it doesn't matter which city the whole plot takes place in. The overall feeling is really disappointing. The only two points in the film are the rock climbing in the first two minutes. Well, I'll give you 2 stars.

      The face-changing technique in this film is so amazing and a technique that is very easy to master. I...

      Watched it 3 times, only for Woo Yusen

      The first time I watched it by renting a disc, the second time and the third time I went to the cinema to watch it (sadly, because of the prosperity of VCD, the business in my small town is getting worse and worse, and the film in the cinema is actually a gun version, which is sloppy. The mandarin dubbing is exactly the same as the rented disc, but the screen is a little bigger at most. This is the same as if you often listen to music, CD is the best sound quality, followed by MP3. A few months...

      0530 Mission: Impossible _ The second attack (can it be any closer? %>_<%)

      This is the first time I've rated a movie with 3 stars. The evaluation criteria in my mind are like this, vulgar movies but not according to common sense, get 4 stars, vulgar movies and vulgar plots but have something to watch, okay, 3 stars. (This is a bit like an ordinary product, but with excellent and creative operations, the product can be well-reviewed, and if an ordinary product operates normally, the product is not far from its death period.) Well, the second part of Mission Impossible...

      The action scenes are great

      After reading 5, I couldn't help but revisit 2.

      The beauty of the protagonist's muscle movement in the rock climbing scene at the beginning of the film, compared to the silent beauty of nature, the light, shadow and rhythm are very tense, which shows that John Woo is different from the delicateness of Western directors.

      The climax of the confrontation at the end of 2, the motorcycle chase between the pros and cons, the confrontation in the movement, there is urgency and...

      From the style, it can be seen that it was directed by John Woo, and it can only be because of the pigeons. It has been 16 years since the passing works of violent aesthetics, and now I don't feel any excitement when I look at the drag racing. The tension is a lot different from the first one. The heroine can't find anything attractive except for her standard waist and big breasts. The whole is more like Tom's cool and cool photo...

      Woo Yusen's work must be supported, this one is not bad. I saw pigeons in John Woo's movie again, and I saw a change of face...

      John Woo's violent aesthetics are cool, but unfortunately hand-to-hand combat is blunt and boring, choosing hand-to-hand combat instead of guns is...

    Film director

    After the release of "Mission Impossible", Oliver Stone had expressed his hope to direct the sequel, but Tom Cruise's "Open Eyes Ring" repeatedly delayed time and even conflicted with Oliver Stone's shooting plan, so the film After all, it didn't have a relationship with Oliver Stone, and the crew hired Wu Yusen from Hong Kong, China, as the director.

    Shoot

    The film was shot in the spring and summer of 1999, and the crew moved to Australia, Utah and Los Angeles. During the entire shooting process, the most memorable thing was Tom Cruise's stubborn insistence on completing most of the stunts himself. For Cruise, the most exciting experience for him was the rock climbing scene shot in Moya, Utah. He said that it felt like driving an F-14 or F-18, full of fantasy and incredible pleasure. The...

    Evaluation action

    Do not expect "Mission Impossible 2" with the feeling of watching "Gladiator" or "Mission Impossible 1". If "Gladiator" carries humanistic meaning and "Disc 1" is full of suspense, "Disc 2" is at best an entertainment film with exquisite packaging. Look at it, don’t expect to be educated or moved. After all, it is just a sequel with a strong commodity flavor. Excluding the unreliable foundation, the only thing left in "Disc 2" is Tom's...
