Mission Impossible 2. I loved MI1 back in the day and I loved MI2 the one time I saw it theaters and I just bought the recent 4k collection of MI1-5 as I've never seen an MI movie post MI2 so I would like to rectify that. Anyway, in a lot of ways MI2 feels like the template to a lot of modern action movies. Probably my main complaints with MI2 is that the CG hasn't aged well (thankfully there isn't a ton of obvious CG moments) and it's at least 30 minutes longer than it needs to be. There's no reason for that film to be a solid 2 hours long as it doesn't justify that length at all. Other than that, it's dumb but if you can get past that it's a lot of fun. Something that was amazing in the commentary: hearing John Woo claim that Tom Cruise and Anthony Hopkins wanted to work with him because they were big Face/Off fans.
