Hey folks. I was thinking of doing an edit of Mission Impossible II. I’m not the biggest fan of the film, though i think a lot of it is good, i think its filled with bad lines, crappy music and subpar editing. I would try to remedy as much of this as possible and bring the film up to the level of 1 and 3.

I’d love some ideas on what might help. Here’s my preliminary ideas.

take out the useless opening scene with the doctor explaining Bolerafont and Chimera. This gets explained to us twice later in the film. Unnecessary and poorly executed.
some of that silly car chase with Niah.
get rid of some of the ridiculous slow motion. This is Mission Impossible, not Walker Texas Ranger.
replace some of the crappy electric guitar score, replace it with some of Michael Giaccino’s fantastic MI:III score.
remove all the horrible “i’m doing this, and this is why!” explanation scenes. We can understand whats happening when we see it. I don’t need to be told what I’m seeing as well.

This film might not get a huge reworking, as I don’t know how much can be fixed/changed. Any other ideas anyone has I’d love to hear.

Also, I know there was a re-release of the film with a 2nd disc. Anyone know if this set included any deleted scenes?
