Mission: Impossible – The Final Reckoning has ignited a firestorm of critical reactions on Rotten Tomatoes. While the Tomatometer is still awaiting a consensus, early reviews paint a picture of a film that both dazzles and divides.
Critics have lauded the film's high-octane action sequences and Tom Cruise's unwavering commitment to performing his own stunts. One reviewer noted,
"Cruise once again proves he's the king of action, delivering heart-stopping sequences that leave audiences breathless. The film's globe-trotting set pieces and intricate choreography have been highlighted as standout elements that elevate the cinematic experience".
However, not all feedback has been glowing. Some critics have pointed out that the film's plot feels convoluted, with one stating,
"While the action is top-notch, the storyline gets tangled in its own complexity, making it hard to follow."
Others have mentioned that the film's length — clocking in at 170 minutes — may test the patience of some viewers.
Despite these criticisms, the consensus seems to be that The Final Reckoning delivers on the franchise's promise of thrilling action and suspense. As one critic aptly put it, "It's a rollercoaster ride that, despite a few bumps, keeps you strapped in and eager for more." Based on 97 reviews, The Final Reckoning holds a strong 87% score on Rotten Tomatoes — proving once again that Ethan Hunt’s missions remain far from impossible.
With its official release slated for May 23, 2025, audiences worldwide are eagerly awaiting the chance to embark on Ethan Hunt's latest adventure.
