Yeah, I watched it a few years ago and enjoyed it as well. Three was pretty good as well. Two was just awful.

I still find #1 very enjoyable, probably because Hunt wasn't a superhero in that one.

Uh... well, he jumps off an exploding, crashing, flying helicopter onto a moving train, in the middle of a tunnel nonetheless...

Yeah, I've always viewed the "at least 1 was relatively restrained" as complete baloney. :p

And II definitely knows what it is. It goes all out with the stylistic flourishes, the dominance of the score, the overall impressionism.

Im looking at the back of the Boiling Point dvd cover and it says "3 and a half stars, Boiling Point sizzles. Riveting, swift and sassy." Why would they boast about 3 and a half stars though? I mean, if it was 4 and a half stars, okay. But 3 and a half stars and they boast about it? why not just say "Boiling Point is pretty good i guess. Riveting, swift and sassy, whatever that means. It has its moments, now hork over the dough please"?.

For me, the best part of the M:I II DVD is the MTV parody with Ben Stiller as "Tom Crooze", Tom Criuse's stunt double. I love M:I III though, J.J. Abrahams FTW. :)

isn't 4 stars the industry standard? kind of like eberts "2 thumbs up" - AFAIK, most of the time there is nothing higher than 4 stars when it comes to movie tagline reviews.

I stole money out of my own wallet and ate it, then i horked it yes, because it only said 3 and a half stars, there, you satisfied now? Just because i dont live on venus like Tvs-Frackin-Frink doesnt mean i have to fork it, so fork off for fork sakes. :p
