#missionimpossible2 #FirstTimeWatching #VKunia - Розваги
This was the first MI movie I saw in theaters when I was 12, and got me hooked on the series. Looking back, wooo boy is it a relic of its time lmao, but it’s still so much fun, and the series gets reaaallly good after this.
The first mission impossible film for me was mission impossible 3.
"I need more dramatic zooms...YES!"
Welcome to John Woo!
John Woo loves guns, doves, spinning, and zooms. And I love that he loves all that 😁
His Hollywood work is fun - Hard Target, Paycheck, Broken Arrow, Face/Off - but his Hong Kong work is fantastic. I usually suggest Hard Boiled as a good intro to Woo's best stuff. The Killer and A Better Tomorrow should also not be missed.
Red Cliff is one of my favorites
36:41 - Tom actually kicked Dougray Scott in the face there. You can see Tom breaking character just before the camera cuts.
Also, the near eye stab was Tom’s idea and the rock climbing. He made John Woo scared for his (Tom’s) safety.
That cross he does on the climb is one of the toughest things to do; its a famous climbing route because to complete it, one has to perform that move.
so many great things about this one. the soundtrack. the director. the action. Jon Woo approaches action a little different and has his signature symbolism show up. Tom Cruise has taken M:I and Ethan Hunt to such a great level. great review as always. keep it going! enjoying this.
When you were saying about the actress (Thandiwe Newton) being blessed, I remember when this movie came out I was like 14 and my friends and I watched this and were absolutely gobsmacked at how beautiful she is. Truly blessed by the gods
This is still my favorite one of the series and the Soundtrack is so epic. Tom did the rock climbing himself because he loves Climbing, I highly recommend the behind the scenes special for this one, Tom just loved doing all the stunts for this one.
This has always been my favorite of the MI movies, probably because of how shamelessly John Woo made it his own. Also if not for the filming of this one going long over schedule, partially due to a shoulder injury on the actor playing the bad guy, Dougray Scott, said actor would have likely landed the role of Wolverine in the first X-Men film instead of Hugh Jackman, as he was the frontrunner at the time after Russell Crowe had turned down the role.
That ending knife scene was real too btw. Like that was real and Tom could have lost an eye. That along with the opening scene climbing the mountain.. Very awesome stuff.
This is the most anime that Ethan's hair has ever been.
It's a really over the top film, but I love it. It came out the year before I first visited Australia, and I've since lived in Sydney for a bit. The landmarks are all over the place and easy to find/recognize.
1) The bad guy's house is a fake that was built at an old pier at Bradley's Head, near Taronga Zoo
2) The fort at the end is Bare Island, on the north side of Botany Bay, at La Perouse
3) The end scene is next to Government House in the Botanic Garden, just east of Circular Quay
4) Where Niyah is thinking of jumping off the cliff is North Head, near Manly
5) The chase scenes were filmed all around Royal National Park
I recommend Tom Cruise again in A Few Good Men 👍.
Also, that beach fight scene was so good because other than that choreographed knife and gun part of the fight, Tom Cruise and Dougary Scott actually just beat the hell out of each other. It was the last day of shooting, Tom went up to Dougary and said this fight scene is at the end of shooting we don’t need to look our best with any other scenes with this film instead of doing the choreographed fight now. You just want to beat the hell out of each other. Dougary was game and agreed. So the majority of that fight is improving and beating the hell out of each other.
It's the weakest/silliest entry, but on the flipside this is the one where Tom's hair is at its most glorious. All the better for the slo-mo shots, after all.
The bird think is a staple of John Woo. Every movie he directed gets the bird =P He can really direct the shit out of a movie though =D Face off is my fave of his films. You should totally watch.
This might be the weakest of the MI movies, but it is still a lot of fun and the fight scenes are probably the best in the franchise. It's John Woo after all.
The knife stopping close to his eye was a real stunt Tom did. They had a wire on the knife to make the knife stop where it did and Tom was there. No CGI on that scene other than taking out the wire.
I'm not a fan of this movie but holy cow Tom Cruise never looked better ❤
This is a really good entry in the series. The final fight is intense. You should check out John Woo's Hong Kong movies (A Better Tomorrow, The Killer, Hard Boiled).
Hans Zimmer 's soundtrack with Metallica, this was my favourite Mission Impossible theme
Here's a fun fact. The bad buy, Dougray Scott, was offered the Role of Wolverine in the X-Men movie that also came out in 2000. He passed it up to play this role and Wolverine went to Hugh Jackman. I wonder if Dougray regrets that decision.
He didn't pass it up. M:I2 shooting went long, and Scott broken his arm or wrist, which also caused issues for filming. Scott was originally set to play both roles.
@@Bad_Wolf_Media oh, I didn't know that. I had heard he passed up the role for MI2. Cool.
Keep watching the MI movies! I love them so much. MI2 was a very interesting one, still a lot of great stunts and moments in this one. Tom Cruise is incredible in all these movies - they're like his passion projects for sure. Once you get to MI4 and beyond, you'll see some INSANE stunts and extended action sequences. Loved watching your reaction as always V!! Keep em coming 💚
Mission Impossible 3 is where the franchise really begins.
Probably regarded as the ‘worst’ of the MI films but it’s still cheesy fun. I still love that disguise switch at the end
Even if this is to much, this movie is a good entertainment and the soundtrack is one of the best from the franchise 😎
Limp Bizkit - Take A Look Around (M:I2 theme)… I love that they play this song at their live shows too 🤘🏻
Metallica - I Disappear… would love to have heard them play that live
And the legend that is Hans Zimmer, who seems to do a lot of scores for movies with Tom Cruise (The Last Samurai and Top Gun: Maverick to name but 2)
This series is about to rock your world 😁
he did do the cliff climbing himself (no double) And also the world was introduced to the Rock Band - Limp Bizkit
"This isn't bumper cars!" Fantastic comment.
Fun reaction Vicky and wasn't it good of them to put those dropkicks in 🙂 this is renowned as the worst of the movies but the fact you had fun means you're going to love the rest they get better and better and I look forward to continuing along with you 🎉
Worst doesn’t necessarily mean bad, and when you compare it to the rest of the franchise, it’s totally ok for this to be the worst of them.
Hey V.
Late comment.
One of my favorite sequels of all time.
I was all fired up that Hong Kong legend, John Woo was the helmer.
The trailers were so good with high expectations.
The songs, Limp Bizkit's "Take a Look Around" (Theme from M:I-2) and Metallica's I Disappear were awesome AF.
The great Hans Zimmer scored this one and Gladiator, same year.
So much energy, pace and presentation.
John Woo as an master of action filmmaking brings the heat.
Cruise going into action mode was so beyond expectations with great sequences.
Dougray Scott (villain Sean Ambrose) was originally casted as Wolverine for X-Men.
He was injured during the film's production and couldn't make the scenes on call.
So they recasted with 29 year old, Hugh Jackman.
This was the No.1 movie of 2000.
First highest grossing film of the millenium.
Yet it's considered the weakest/hated sequel of the franchise.
Because of the reception, M:I-2 is a 'completely' standalone sequel.
Her reactions to each of the Wooisms was great.
This was a fun movie, and it is amazing to think that each film just gets better from here on.
Vicky: It looks like that painting...I can´t give you more than that.
Me: Don´t worry I know EXACTLY wich one
The soundtrack for this movie was the soundtrack of my life for a bit lol. It was the only album to hold Jason Newsted’s last recorded studio song with Metallica, “I Disappear”
Saw this in the theatre :) BEST! SOUNDTRACK! EVER!
🤘😎🤘
Even though this is considered the weakest of the MI movies, it's still pretty decent imo. Fun fact: Dougray Scott was actually set to play Wolverine but had to drop out due to scheduling conflicts with this movie. I guess it all worked out since Hugh Jackman has been absolutely amazing as the character over the last 20+ years
It gets much better from here. Especially 4-6
0:24 sounds like "Hi, my name is Zoobee" Huh? thought is was Vicki
This movie is SO 2000, all it needed was a Smash Mouth song and it would be a perfect time capsule lol
"That looks like that painting! I don't know what its called. That painting..." I know exactly the painting! The one that was in Ferris Beullers Day Off! I have no idea the name of it either, but now that you pointed that out I would not be suprised if John Woo modeled that last shot after the painting.
This movie has become the most derided of the series so it’s always interesting to watch reactions to it. That said, this has been one of the more funny and entertaining reactions I’ve watched.
can't wait for the next Breaking Bad Episode :) but this and Glass Onion were great picks. thanks for being here V. I appreciate you and what you do.
Fun fact. So pretty Thandwe Newton is the mother of the actress who played Sarah in The Last of Us. Like mother like daughter
It's preposterous but at least it looks cool. That's all Cruise & John Woo were really concerned about. It doesn't have to make sense, it just has to look cool.
Greatest action franchise ever
Thandie Newton and Cruise worked together on Interview With the Vampire.
The henchmen with the bad haircut in real life is Tom Cruise’s cousin
Which one? Wallis?
@@oliverconway6960 Yes
Yes yes Vkunia keep this series coming weekly ❤🎉😊
Regarding Dougray Scott, just keep repeating “This was almost Wolverine.” True story, he was cast to play Wolverine in the first X-Men movie, but shooting on this ran long and he had to pull out. Hugh Jackman was cast on two week notice to fill in.
More you know.
Glad to see you enjoyed this one. The best thing about that? This is regarded as the worst in the franchise, and it only gets better from here onwards.
When M:I3 came out, it was the best one yet.
When M:I Ghost Protocol came out, it was the best one yet.
When M:I Rogue Nation came out… you get the picture.
And yes, they’re still making them. The trailer you saw would’ve been the current one that’s out in cinema - M:I Dead Reckoning part 1, which is the 7th in the franchise (I’ve seen it, and guess what… it’s the best one yet). Part 2 is due out next summer, and was originally rumoured to be the last one… but recently it’s been hinted that it won’t be. How they plan to top anything they’ve done so far, I don’t think even god knows 😂
“He deserves a happy ending, he’s been through way too much!” 😊
Just you wait!
Her daughter, Nico Parker, now probably best known as Sarah from The Last of Us, is the spitting image of her. It's like she's a clone. It's uncanny.
“Maybe stop breathing!”
Man, I know a lot of people I want to say that to!
So glad you liked this one! A lot of the fans think that this one is the worst of the series. But I still enjoy watching it, I remember when I was about 12 years old and my dad took me to see this in theaters! I've been a huge fan of the series ever since. Can't wait for Mission Impossible 3 reaction!
Awesome I'm gonna love your reactions to this movie series it's 1 of the best in my opinion
Off subject:
It amazes me of just how much Thandie Newton daughter looks like her - Nico Parker (she was Sara Miller in the Last Of Us HBO series)
Great reaction. Looking beautiful 😍
Classic John Woo : slow mode , zooms, and doves.
The franchise keeps uping the ante, action and crazy stunts.
Great stuff, keep it up 👍
I actually got the movie on DVD and it was awesome ❤💗💖
I have all the franchise and I’m glad to not be the only guy having DVD’s 😊
I'm happy to see the self destructing messages still going strong after 60 years.
Hot take but this is my fav Mission Impossible because of the over the top absurdity.
People will tell you it's the worst and the series "really takes off" from MI3 and while I don't disagree that the series is great going forward all the movies except this one just meld into an amorphous mass of "Tom Cruise does ""X"" stunt in this one" to the point where the I can't tell what happens in which movie past MI3.
John Woo's style and the idea of Ethan having an agent who was his "shadow" made this by far my fav. I just wish they made Ambrose a franchise antagonist, MI3 has a decent antagonist but after that its white noise
That's ice!? That explains so much.
"He deserves a happy ending."
There are 5 more movies.
Tom actually really kicked him in the face at 36:41, that was Tom's real reaction to oh my god, I effed. They kept it in the movie cause it was cool.
Kunia, you got to watch Broken Arrow(1996), it's another John Woo movie.
If I remember correctly, Tom was free climbing at the beginning, but not nearly that high than it looks.
Anthony Hopkins played a similarish and bigger role in Bad Company (2002) which, like MI2, is silly but watchable (I like it more than MI2).
If you thought Tom Cage's stunt work was impressive in this one, I can't wait for you to see what the rest of the franchise has in store ;)
"tom cage"? would his alterego be Nicholas Cruise? :).
@@andrewmurray1550 lmao, wow. Wonder if I was half asleep when I posted that XD
Um… Ethan couldn't take Naya with him because his parachute was designed for only one person, if he took her with him both would have fallen. That's why he had to leave her to Ambrose, knowing he wouldn't kill her because of the virus.
The movie franchise is coming to an end. The movie out when you filmed was part 1 of 2 and 2 is going to be the last one he makes. As I am sure many others will point out in the comments, the series gets even better after this and the stunts get way more insane!! Hope your hands are ok, and I hope you remember to wear leather gloves and even have a mouthpiece or something for the next few movies if you end up watching them! So fun!! Thanks!
Look out if you can spot Aaron Paul (Jesse) in a few lines in MI3.
This franchise only gets better from here.
MI2 is easily the worst, mainly due to the odd directing style. However, on the bright side, the series DOES GET SOO MUCH BETTER! MI3 has easily the best villian of the franchise, but MI4 is where the entire franchise really found its footing and kicked into high gear! Keep going with this series, Vicky!😊
The fact that many consider this the worst one is pretty much a testament to how good the series is, considering it's still a damn good action flick, especially if you're into John Woo films like Face Off
My worst has always been the first one, due to it having the least action. There is nothing wrong with a good popcorn flick and that is what John Woo does best. It's hard to rate the rest in an order so I don't and just enjoy them all lol
Personally I feel the bad guys in movies 5 through 7 are the best. But I see why so many people praise Phillip Seymour Hoffman's performance.
💘 Rebecca Ferguson ❤🥰🥰🥰🥰
I understand when people think this. I still think that the first one is the weakest of the series. But when the 4th movie came out, this was were the fun began.
My order:
7. MI1
6. MI3
5. MI2
4. MI 7
3. MI5
2. MI4
1. MI6
Absolutely love your hair and how it feathers
'No flies on her.' Said by William Mapother, Tom Cruise's cousin.
This movie always reminds me of FACE/OFF.
I cant wait until Vicky gets to my favorite one in the series, MI: Ghost Protocol
"I'm going to RPG you"
Baldur's Gate 3 - 2023
I do think this movie kind of tried to be the James Bond movie Goldeneye a bit. I don't think it ever got to the heights of Goldeneye but it for sure feels like it a bit. If you haven't seen Goldeneye Vicky, would love to see you watch it
31:50 that's Tom's cousin
IMO, MI really gets started with MI3.
Anthony should be "M" in James Bond.
I don’t care what people say, this is a fun movie (yes over the top). And the music. That certain face reveal blew me away as a kid in theater
I just watched this for the first time. I've watched all the others but always avoided this one. It is my least favourite but it is definitely not as bad as people say. Its cheesy as shit, but I enjoyed every minute of it. Ethan Hunt trying to be James Bond is very amusing.
What's you're favorite movie
John Wo the director loves doves and slow mo areal fights
It's all uphill from here, Vicky.
11:44 You can!
Mi 3 and 4 is the best in terms of story... and the new one is the best in terms of action
Remember, it's not Mission Impossible without masks.
Am I the only one who likes MI2? Sure, the tone is way different, it's highly stylized action and emotional drama, but those marks got a solid hit on the head.
But the only real contender against the first for best place is Fallout. I think the fella above is right when he said the second three were formulaic.
And for those who've seen the latest, wasn't it disappointing?
can be the new movie monty python it's a hilarious movie full of humor and i think you will like it
you are that blessed, V.
the microchip is "untraceable" yet the MIF can track her to 3 feet.....??
I hope you plan to watch the third one, it is my favorite
Do "Sound Of Freedom" next...
please upload your reaction video for mission impossible 3.....it just keeps getting better from this part
'...she's got all the training she needs.' #GoodOle20C
Cool movie
John Woo. Enough said.
@@Pete_R oh it wasn't a compliment. It's so over the top. Oh and doves
@@Pete_Rit could be argued he gave a better Hulk movie since it actually focuses on the Hulk. The CGI looks like trash today but better that than stellar CGI with an emasculated Hulk in the MCU.
@@Pete_R Ang Lee directed a Hulk movie, not John Woo
@@mister_veee7143 I think he made a great movie. 🤷🏼♂️
I read an interview with the actress who said Tom Cruise made working on MI 2 so uncomfortable. I guess he kept getting excited during make out scenes. Which made her really uncomfortable . True story It's a real interview.
I mean. Even if acting is acting =/ you're making out with a hot woman. Pretty natural to get excited a bit.
Apparently Arnold S. used to get overly errrr aggressive in sex scenes.
This is def a 'nearly' movie. So much going for it in terms of story telling and acting but its way too over the top, too often, to be taken seriously. I find myself cringing in parts but still a fun watch overall. Its the weakest movie from a critical point of view but if its your bag, good for you. 😎
Bless you
It's definitely the worst film in the series by a clear margin, if only because it doesn't really feel like a Mission Impossible film. The MI films by and large have a signature blend of creative action setpieces and nail-biting suspense, whereas MI2 for the most part just feels like a fairly typical dumb early-2000s action flick, with a hackneyed love story, dull villain and risible one-liners. That said, I can appreciate it for the John Woo of it all, just for how insanely over-the-top and ridiculous it gets on the action front, especially when paired with Hans Zimmer's absolutely crazy soundtrack. Easily the low-point of the series, but still a lot of fun in a lot of ways, and thankfully the series starts to get a lot better starting with the next one
