Gorgeous luxury fast food blockbuster

"Mission Impossible 2" is still an uncompromisingly gorgeous and luxurious fast food blockbuster. Although Robert Tunney, the screenwriter of the first episode, was also invited to write the script, this time the story is obviously missing a piece of cocooning. The compactness, a suffocating tension of progressive layers, is somewhat discounted at the root. Ethan Hunt is no longer caught in a puzzle, seeking identity recognition, and uncovering the facts, but straightforwardly PK opponents. The suspenseful story tension of the previous episode is completely lost here, and he has become a A simple battle between good and evil, and the innate flaws of the story have branded this film as a mediocre Hollywood blockbuster. The action of "Mission Impossible 2" can't hide the poverty of the characters. Director Wu's philosophy of violence, tragic rivers and lakes, the spirit of benevolence and righteousness in his past works, and even the classic lines are gone in this episode, which makes people infinitely sigh.

Dr. Nekhorvich: [from a video recording presented by Swanbeck with Ethan watching] Every search for a hero must begin with something that every hero requires: A villain.

Mission Commander Swanbeck: [seeing and hearing his briefing through sunglasses and it's earpieces] Good morning, Mr. Hunt. Your mission, should you choose to accept it, involves the recovery of a stolen item designated "Chimera." You may select any two team members, but it is essential that the third member of your team be Nyah Nordoff-Hall. She is a civilian, and a highly capable professional thief. You have forty-eight hours to recruit Miss Hall and meet me in Seville to receive your assignment. As always, should any member of your team be caught or killed, the Secretary will disavow all knowledge of your actions. And Mr. Hunt, the next time you go on holiday, please be good enough to let us know where you're going. This message will self-destruct in five seconds.
Ethan Hunt: [5 seconds before he throws the sunglasses in front of him] I let you know where I'm going, I won't be on holiday.
