Mission: Impossible - The Final Reckoning

Recommended

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.…

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.…

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.…

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.…

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.…

How can we have a final reckoning when the last bit of the movie is dedicated to letting us know that Ethan Hunt is definitely still important and definitely will be back doing stuff. Give it up, Tom. There are some bad CG effects in here. Unforgivable. This movie is long and full of dumb shit that doesn't matter.…

<em>'Mission: Impossible – The Final Reckoning'</em> is up there for being the most I've enjoyed a M:I movie, it's certainly in the top four anyway. It probably is a touch overlong, though I can't say I ever felt bored through the 2hrs 50mins. It's packed with action, so no surprise. Tom Cruise is, as we've seen across the prior seven installments, excellent in the role of Ethan Hunt.…

Solid entry (final?) of the franchise and while not the strongest in terms of plot (has the same issue that I had with Dead Reckoning), the stunt work (most notably the submarine and airplane sequences) were top notch. Probably wasn't in the budget but would've loved to had cameos of past IMF members.…

It might have been a good idea for Tom Cruise to have re-released the first part of this career retrospective a few weeks ago so we could be reminded of just what was in the submarine perched precariously on a subterranean ridge in the Arctic - because I had totally forgotten what happened last time around. Quickly, though, we are reminded that the entity (anyone see the “Forbin Project” from 1970?…

Whenever a film playing in theaters is introduced by one of the members of the picture’s creative team, it’s a safe bet that it doesn’t live up to its pre-release hype. (Indeed, in all the years I’ve watched movies theatrically, that’s been the case every time with just two exceptions.) And, regrettably, that’s very much the case in this final installment in this long-running franchise.…

The best thing about Mission Impossible films is you watched one - you watched all; and you watched all - you watched one. It's a typical mindless mild entertainment Mission Impossible film - that is all there to this film. Nothing else, nothing more, nothing less. PS. Oh and there's no story in it worth writing home about, at all!
