Mission Impossible Collector's Set (Mission Impossible / MI-2) Reviews:
MI 2 What more can I say?
2009-12-16 - This is a kick a$$ movie directed by John Woo. Great sound and picture, especially in the beginning with the Fleminco dance scene and the motorcycle scene. Great action and stunts, what more could you as for? Well, I would have liked it available in Dolby TrueHD or DTS HD in the sound track. It would have been even better.

There isn't much special features, only the one disc as with the MI1 movie in Blu-ray. However, if you have either MI1 or MI3, you need to add this to the collection.

Great Action!
2008-11-23 - I was glad to receive the rest of this Mission Impossible Trilogy. I remember the older version which was aired on TV quite some years ago, and these are, by far better and more realistic. Tom Cruise does a great job acting the part. The first DVD left me wanting to see a continuation and I was not at all disappointed after I viewed MI-2 and 3. If you like adventure, action and espionage, this set is a good investment. When I watch them over again, I still get the same enjoyment as when first viewed.

MI 1 & 2
2007-02-12 - MI 1 has a story line that hangs together. It is a little fantastic, but that's what Mission Impossible is, so some stretching of likelihood doesn't bother the viewer. This movie is entertainment, pure and simple. It does not pretend to be other than that.

MI 2 is a different kind of movie. A bit fantastic too, but you expect a little fantasy; so it does not disturb you. The cinematography here is much better than that of its predecessor. The use of light and shaddow is quite artistic. The story is good until near the end where the production deteriorates into preposterous chase scenes that go on and on and on and on. Those are followed by an even more preposterous fight scene that never seems to end; the hero and villain never seem to tire from the exertion, and do not deteriorate from the dastardly blows they rain back and forth upon each other. A lttle fantasy is expected, but the chase scenes and the fight grow immensely tiresome and unreal and ruin the movie. The movie ends like an overdone steak.

2007-01-11 - Everthing about the shipment was perfect. I received it on time, it was in excellent condition, I couldn't have asked for better from a vendor!!!!

Nice set of two solid thrillers
2006-05-07 - Beyond the basic concept the "Mission: Impossible" films have little to do with the original TV series. In fact this is a recreation for an audience brought up on high octane action films. De Palma's film reinvents the popular TV franchise although many long time fans were probably upset that Jim Phelps was played by Jon Voight and that he's killed in the first 15 minutes of the film. Ethan Hunt (Cruise) is accused by his own agency of engineering the death of his IMF team to protect his identity as a traitor. Hunt suddenly alone must assemble a team (Ving Rhames, Jean Reno)of his own to help clear his name.

The updated transfer looks marvelous here with richer, bolder colors and an anamorphic high definition transfer that improves on the previous DVD. This also features some decent extras although they have less to do with the history of the show and translating it to the big screen than with Cruise and Brian De Palma's attempt to update it for a new audience. There's also a preview for MI3 included as well as a ticket for free theater admission to MI3 until 5/14/06.

"MI2" plays much more like a cross between a Bond film and a Hong Kong action movie. That's good in a way because it's every bit as different from the first as the third is from the second. Director John Woo keeps "MI2" a fresh adventure. This time Ethan Hunt is directed by his boss (Anthony Hopkins in a nice cameo)to discover who stole the dangerous Chimera virus and its antidote. This nasty virus is 100% lethal and if the cure isn't given within a certain time frame it's worthless. Hunt discovers and tracks down a disgruntled IMF member (Doug Ray Scott who was originally to play Wolverine in "X-Men" until he was injured on this film)but the clock is ticking as Chimera may fall into the wrong hands.

This edition is the same as the first with the exception of the second disc which has some promos for the third installment as well as some featurettes not included on the previous single disc edition. The transfer and extras on the first discs is the same though.

If you don't own either film this is a worthwhile set to get but if you own the second film already I would purchase the first remastered edition separately. Both films are entertaining and have top notch supporting cast, direction and writing. The script for the first film was rewritten by Cruise's buddy legendary screenwriter Robert Town ("Chinatowne")as was the second film although it's based on a story by Ron Moore and Brannon Braga ("Star Trek: First Contact").
