Less action-heavy than you may expect and in many ways feels incredibly bloated. Exposition is handled better, and when the action is happening, it’s jaw-dropping.

No matter you like the plot or not, you will still admire what Tom Cruise did for this franchise over the years.”A Final Run Filled With NostalgiaThis user summed it up beautifully, calling the film a touching goodbye, “MISSION: IMPOSSIBLE – THE FINAL RECKONING is a beautiful “final” run for Ethan Hunt.

Without spoilers,IMPOSSIBLE IS GOOSEBUMPS. #MissionImpossibleReview”Not Everyone Was ImpressedOf course, not all reactions were glowing. Some viewers found the film’s first hour too slow and heavy on the details. “Mission Impossible: Final Reckoning – I felt surprisingly mixed on this movie.
