Mission: Impossible – The Final Reckoning Receives Strong Early Reviews

You thought Tom Cruise was done? Not even close.

The man strapped himself to planes, jumped off cliffs, and now—he’s crashing into 2025 with Mission: Impossible – The Final Reckoning, and early reactions are basically screaming, “Ethan Hunt still slaps.”

We’re talking raves, not whispers.

According to Times of India, critics are calling it a “rollercoaster of adrenaline,” with Cruise delivering yet another stunt-fueled spectacle that makes your palms sweat just watching. The set pieces? Big. The stakes? Bigger. The explosions? Oh, they’re definitely budget-approved.

Simon Pegg, who returns as the ever-lovable Benji, hyped it to GamesRadar as “absolutely bananas” and claimed it might just be the best in the series. That’s bold talk when the franchise already includes jumping out of a plane at 25,000 feet and hanging off the side of the Burj Khalifa.

Online buzz backs it up. Netizens on Republic World are calling it “full of knuckle tension” and praising the “exhilarating stunts.” One fan even tweeted, “This is what Fast & Furious wishes it still was.”

Still, not everyone’s handing out gold stars.

The Independent dropped in with a few critiques, calling it “bloated” and “narratively uneven.” That said, even the critics admitting flaws couldn’t deny the film’s scale and spectacle.

So, yes, The Final Reckoning might not be flawless. But in a world full of bloated blockbusters, this one’s still got the juice.

Cruise isn’t walking away quietly. He’s sprinting—full throttle, fists clenched, music swelling, probably toward a detonator.

You know the run.
