Premise
Tom Cruise returns in the sequel, this time, directed by John Woo.
Thoughts
Details are fuzzy, but I recall getting bored by the first half, then loving the second half with John Woo's patented ludicrous, over-the-top, slow-motion, physics defying, dove-flying action scenes. Hans Zimmer's grandiose score was fitting.
Rumor has it, Dougray Scott turned down the role of Wolverine in X-Men to be the villain here, thus giving the world Hugh Jackman.
What I would change
Made the first half better.
