MISSION: IMPOSSIBLE II is the ugly step child of the M:I franchise.
Of all of them, it feels the most dated and, retroactively, the most stylistically out of step with the rest of the movie series.
But idea of trying to fan edit this John Woo extravaganza into something more akin to the later films, is a daunting... some might even say.. IMPOSSIBLE... concept.
But thankfully Spence has accepted this mission!
And he achieved his set goals masterfully.
This fan edit is slimmer and tighter paced, increasing the entertainment value immensely. Due to plot requirements, some of very John Woo signature elements remain, but this is no fault of the editor. The new soundtrack is great, it definitely sounds more like the other movies in the franchise. Though on occasion the viewer can noticeably hear the audio remover warble after effect and there are other times where the new soundtrack is a tad too loud and it competes with onscreen dialogue. But none of this distracts from the fun factor.
This a great popcorn edit.
