    Generally speaking I've enjoyed the "Mission Impossible" films. I believe Tom Cruise has shone in the lead role, with a range of adventurous, action packed stories, worth telling. Its regrettable then that I can't find anything overly positive to say about "Mission Impossible: The Final Reckoning." I found the script for this film incoherent. From a storytelling perspective, it wanders about like a inebriated night clubber on a Saturday night. Its not helped either by a weak core premise and villains who are, put simply, really none too interesting. On the upside Cruise does his best and the action scenes are polished, as you would expected from a big budget film. In summary, to my mind the least inspiring film, in the Mission Impossible franchise. Maybe its time it had its cinematic "final reckoning" and was shelved, for the foreseeable future.

    My quick rating - 7.2/10. You’d think a 170-minute movie would have plenty of time to waste, but Mission: Impossible - The Final Reckoning sprints out of the gate and doesn’t look back. For something that clocks in at nearly three hours, it’s almost shocking how quickly it moves. The story is intricate, packed with moving parts, but still surprisingly easy to follow. Credit goes to the sharp editing that threads everything together without losing momentum. It’s clear the filmmakers wanted this to feel like the culmination of Ethan Hunt’s thirty-year journey, and in many ways, they pull it off—though maybe not quite as hard-hitting as one might expect from a grand finale. Of course, the real selling point here is the action. Tom Cruise once again takes every opportunity to play Mr. Show-Off with his stunt work, and honestly, I’m not mad about it. Whether it’s leaping off impossible heights, riding vehicles where no sane person would, or holding his breath longer than a Navy SEAL, Cruise continues to prove he’s Hollywood’s most committed daredevil. Sure, the Fast and Furious franchise gets ribbed for ridiculous, physics-defying set pieces, but let’s not kid ourselves—the Mission: Impossible films are guilty of the exact same thing. The difference is, these stunts are both insane and staged so well you can’t help but buy in. The cinematography is nothing short of breathtaking. There are shots here that are simply jaw-dropping, and the underwater submarine sequence is a masterclass in tension. It’s one of those rare moments where I completely forgot the film’s narrative hiccups because I was so locked in. This is the kind of spectacle that demands the biggest screen possible, and it delivers on that front without question. That said, there are issues. For one, the script leans heavily on exposition, so much so that I occasionally wanted to yell, “Enough talking, just throw Tom Cruise off another cliff already!” And while it’s fun to see familiar faces like Ving Rhames and Simon Pegg return, the film introduces so many additional characters that several of them feel like nothing more than pawns shuffled around the board. They’re there to keep the plot moving, not to give us anyone new to root for. Then there’s the villain problem. Gabriel, played by Esai Morales, makes for a sinister presence, but his routine is frustratingly repetitive. He shows up, threatens or mansplains something, then disappears until the next scene, where he does the same thing again. It’s hard to feel the weight of the supposed ultimate adversary when his menace keeps fading into the background. And that brings me to the finale. For a movie carrying the subtitle “The Final Reckoning,” it doesn’t quite land the emotional haymaker I was expecting. It’s still thrilling, still entertaining, but it doesn’t pack the kind of gut punch you’d hope for from the end of a thirty-year saga. Even with those flaws, I can’t deny this is a wildly entertaining blockbuster. The tension, the stunts, the sheer spectacle—it’s everything you’d expect from a Mission: Impossible film, even if it stops just shy of greatness. Respect where it’s due: Tom Cruise keeps raising the bar, and for that alone, this ride is worth taking.

    This is the best movie of the franchise by a notable margin. If you've grown up being young with the first one, and aged over time with each subsequent one, you'll find this movie to be an emotional ride where you see just how all in someone devoted to their cause and beliefs can be. A scene at the very end with the crowd captures it all so beautifully. It's a masterpiece of this franchise's style, intent, and focus. It was unexpected and wonderful to experience.

    I recently watched Mission: Impossible – The Final Reckoning, and to be honest, I found it somewhat underwhelming. The movie has its moments, and visually it’s stunning — some scenes are beautifully shot, with vibrant colors and impressive cinematography that really show the scale of the action. However, despite these visuals, the story itself falls flat. The plot feels predictable at times, and the pacing doesn’t always keep you on the edge of your seat. The action sequences are well-executed, but they can’t fully make up for the weak storyline. The characters do their best, yet the script doesn’t give them much depth or interesting development, which makes it hard to feel truly invested in what’s happening. Overall, the film has flashes of brilliance in its visuals and technical aspects, but the narrative doesn’t quite live up to the expectations of a Mission: Impossible movie. In the end, it’s an okay watch if you enjoy seeing spectacular stunts and cinematic visuals, but it’s not really captivating or memorable. For me, it was a mixed experience, and I’d rate it a 6/10.

    76/100 The race continues directly from the previous film and, overall, it's pretty much the same ...although this one did have a bit more of the M:I feel to it, even though some of the gimmicks they had to pull off were totally outlandish. The action continues to be the highlight and makes it all very exciting and entertaining despite it ofttimes going on way too long and stepping well beyond what is believable. But that's ok ...they purposely set out to make epic escapist entertainment which I think they pulled off exceedingly well. The emotional beats were awkward but still great fun. - DrNostromo.com
