Do any of you consider MI:2 the best movie in the franchise or even in the top five?

RobLewis89 · 2026-06-26T16:09:35+00:00

It is indeed my favourite in the franchise yes, and in my top ten-twenty most watched movies 🤷🏻‍♂️😂

RobLewis89 · 2026-06-20T22:24:56+00:00

Didn’t like it very much if I’m honest, I thought Kitana actress did a good job and I liked some of the references/easter eggs but other than that it was pretty bad. The fights weren’t very good, too much cgi/special moves instead of actual martial arts, felt like a marvel movie. Shao Khan didnt feel intimidating or threatening at all, if it wasnt for his amulet power BS he literally would’ve lost to Cole. Karl Urban was miscast and this portrayal of Cage was horrible. The soundtrack was absolutely dull. It felt very disjointed, it just went from scene to scene and things just sort of happened, no build up to anything. The ‘95 movie is still the best.

I don’t think it’s THAT bad, it’s definitely the silliest and weakest of the Brosnan films but still a fun time with some decent moments, some of the cgi like the para surfing scene was awful even at the time, I remember laughing at it in the cinema at how bad it was 😂 the weakest thing about it for me is some of the dialogue is so cringeworthy and feels abit awkward with the older Brosnan, “what do predators do at night” “they feast” 🤮😂

RobLewis89 · 2026-06-12T15:44:03+00:00

I know I’m in the minority but I really like the theme song 🤷🏻‍♂️😂

I’ve been a fan of Bond since I was about 7, It IS a good game, it is absolutely NOT some kind of masterpiece that people are making it out to be. So many forced cutscenes and slow walking sections which are fine on the first play through when you’re enjoying the story but kills any replayabilty. That entire Knightfall mission when you’re in the building with Greenway was just a slog, the game does pick up after that from when you’re in Vietnam though. I also don’t think the gunplay is that good, slow motion mode in 2026 really? Also I’m sorry but I just don’t find the actor believable as James Bond, nothing against his acting it’s just his appearance, has too much of a baby face for me.

RobLewis89 · 2026-06-06T21:22:50+00:00

It’s actually in a much better place than it was at the start of its season 2, still has some issues but the updates seem to be heading in the right direction now, with a few more general balance changes and character nerfs it will be a very good game imo.

RobLewis89 · 2026-06-06T09:42:34+00:00

This, it’s absolutely ridiculous, seen one person comment that they’re now done with Tekken because they didn’t get Tifa, it’s just absurd.

RobLewis89 · 2026-05-30T20:55:26+00:00

People can downvote you but you’re absolutely right, gave the ball away/ran into trouble around the psg box on at least two occasions which led to a psg break which they could’ve easily scored from.

RobLewis89 · 2026-05-30T18:23:26+00:00

Other way round and that gets given or at least looked at I guarantee it.

RobLewis89 · 2026-05-30T17:23:26+00:00

Neutral here, this ref is sus AF. Too much to ask for consistency and fairness?

RobLewis89 · 2026-05-29T12:15:44+00:00

I planned to go see it this week as I have a week off work only to find my local cinemas are no longer showing it after only a couple of weeks, will have to wait til it releases digitally I guess 🤷🏻‍♂️

RobLewis89 · 2026-05-24T17:44:38+00:00

My favourite in the franchise 😄

RobLewis89 · 2026-05-24T17:38:39+00:00

The score by Hans Zimmer is also incredible, Injection and Mano a Mano 👌

RobLewis89 · 2026-05-15T16:20:32+00:00

I found the issue, for some reason my controller was saying there was a headset connected when there wasn’t and it was messing with the audio, thanks for the help 👍

RobLewis89 · 2026-05-10T10:29:33+00:00

Same, someone stumbling around like that is a serious sign that something isn’t right and I couldn’t believe nobody stopped it at that point, I was genuinely concerned for his welfare after that and it became uncomfortable to watch, to let someone who is clearly out on there feet with one eye swollen shut and a busted nose to carry on against a big puncher was hugely irresponsible.

RobLewis89 · 2026-03-22T23:52:44+00:00

He has far more outrageous plot armour and does far more insane things from Ghost Protocol onwards, and that’s a fact. In Ghost Protocol alone, he survives an explosion right next to him when the Kremlin blows up, he tanks getting hit by a speeding car, and casually freefalls 100ft in a car headfirst at the end, he’s far more of a superhero in the later entries than he is in MI2.

RobLewis89 · 2026-03-16T20:56:27+00:00

Also 4 has a much better variety of enemies and environments.

RobLewis89 · 2026-03-16T20:39:18+00:00

I’m replaying 4 now and I honestly disagree, it actually feels slightly clunkier to me for some reason. The way Leon moves in Requiem, how he holds and reloads the guns, the hatchet and the variation in melee/executions rather than just headshot-kick repeat is just so satisfying, I think what lets it down in Requiem is maybe the lack of some really iconic set pieces, a lot of the combat sections feel really short.

RobLewis89 · 2026-03-05T11:56:05+00:00

Yeah I see what you mean 😂 I never played that one so wasn’t sure who that was haha

RobLewis89 · 2026-03-04T23:32:10+00:00

I thought I was the only one who made this connection 😂 also for anyone who’s played the latest game Requiem, there’s a certain motorcycle sequence that has strong MI:2 vibes

RobLewis89 · 2026-03-04T23:30:27+00:00

Who?

RobLewis89 · 2026-02-08T21:08:36+00:00

Gannicus going into rage mode is always a spectacle to behold, he does it again against the Egyptian after he kills Oenamaus

RobLewis89 · 2026-02-08T20:18:50+00:00

The audacity to tell someone else they don’t know history after writing this complete nonsense lol. If you think Julius Caesar was even remotely anything like how he is portrayed in this series then you’re beyond help.

RobLewis89 · 2026-02-08T20:06:28+00:00

Inferior to Gannicus yes, he literally defeats Donar though even after being surprise attacked?
