Tom Cruise is back, and according to early reactions, he’s better than ever. The first reviews of Mission: Impossible – The Final Reckoning, the highly anticipated eighth and final film in the iconic franchise, have hit social media—and they are calling it a “masterclass in blockbuster filmmaking.”
After a series of exclusive press screenings, fans and critics took to X (formerly Twitter) to share their overwhelmingly positive impressions. The film is being praised for its edge-of-the-seat action, emotional depth, and Cruise’s relentless energy, with many calling it a cinematic event that demands to be experienced on the big screen.
“#MissionImpossible – The Final Reckoning is a THRILLING and SHOW-STOPPING cinematic event,” wrote one user. “@TomCruise & McQ give us EVERYTHING in this non-stop, nerve-shredding spectacle that goes deeper and darker than ever before.”
Another post hailed director Christopher McQuarrie’s “razor-sharp direction,” calling the movie “a masterclass in blockbuster filmmaking.” Others praised the film’s editing, suspense, and its ability to tie together the entire franchise into one cohesive narrative.
“The film stands as one of the greatest action movies of all time,” wrote another reviewer. “The tension, stunts, direction, editing—everything borders on perfection. Tom Cruise delivers yet another legendary performance.”
A standout highlight for many was the jaw-dropping plane stunt, which one user described as “one of cinema’s greatest stunts,” and the emotional weight of the story. “It’s a love letter to fans… First time I’ve cried in the series,” they added.
However, the reception wasn’t universally glowing. A few viewers noted pacing issues and a complex narrative. One wrote, “#MissionImpossible The Final Reckoning is very complicated. Less action-heavy than you may expect and in many ways feels incredibly bloated… Some really high highs, but some really low lows.”
Despite the mixed critiques, the general consensus points to an ambitious and satisfying conclusion to one of Hollywood’s most celebrated action franchises. The film appears to be a fitting farewell, filled with the heart-pounding action and cinematic scale that has become synonymous with Tom Cruise’s name.
Mission: Impossible – The Final Reckoning is expected to hit theaters soon, and if early buzz is any indication, fans are in for one final, unforgettable ride.
