MI:2 is easily the worst of the 6 movies. It's an insult to good action movies.

it's got more asinine stunts than a Justin Lin F&F movie except it lacks the fun and whimsy

    - It's really the only option if he's defending MI2. -- nm - Will Hunting May 3, 10:33 14
      - I will say this for it, if not for MI:2, we never would have had seven more of them. -- nm - Spawn May 3, 10:36 13
        
        Alternatively, it put the franchise on ice for 5 years until Cruise decided he needed something familiar post-couch jump. - Will Hunting May 3, 10:38 12
        
        There was 4 years between MI1 and 2 though. And 5 years between 3 and 4. I think the gap had more to do with Cruise wanting to do things outside of fr - Roger More May 3, 10:59 10
        
        For a while it seemed like Cruise was doing a thing where he wanted to collect as many top tier directors as he could. -- nm - Reagen May 3, 11:09
        
        At this point the MI series is kind of like a BBC show. A season every two years, consisting of 2 or 3 great eps - except in this case it's a movie. -- nm - Beryllium May 3, 11:05
        
        Remember when the internets wanted him for Tony Stark? - Spawn May 3, 11:01 7
        
        I think it would have worked...he's extremely talented and his natural charisma could easily work for Tony's arrogance - Will Hunting May 3, 11:08 6
        
        I think it would have worked for Tony Stark before he was Iron Man, but not after. -- nm - Roger More May 3, 12:38
        
        Tom Cruise will reportedly make 75% of the box office of the next Avengers movie... -- nm - HR Story May 3, 11:16 4
        
        Did we ever hear what RDJ got? Last I'd seen, he was up to 50mil for Civil War. -- nm - Will Hunting May 3, 11:18 3
        
        Deadline suggested $75 million, $55 million of it on the back end. Someone else I trust had indicated $90 million. - David May 3, 11:25 2

        So, 3% of the worldwide gross...that's a rather solid check. -- nm - Will Hunting May 3, 11:26
        
        6 is a masterpiece, better than any Bond or Bourne. -- nm - mud May 3, 10:41
    - You probably shouldn't believe everything you read on the internet. -- nm - David May 3, 10:30 5
      - Yeah, it sounded like just the kind if thing STers would do just to make a point :P -- nm - con_carne May 3, 10:49 4
        
        He's teasing me because I'm the strongest proponent of MI of anyone here...including MI2! - David May 3, 10:50 3
        
        For me, it's 4/5.3..6..................1...........2 -- nm - Will Hunting May 3, 11:13 2
        
        Thandie Newton and I pity you. -- nm - David May 3, 11:21 1
        
        She actively hides her participation in this movie. -- nm - Will Hunting May 3, 11:22
- With the pending demise of HSX, this is the quality movie content the internet needs. -- nm - ST Analyst May 3, 10:01
