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. Everyone knows everyone because Ethan is so good at being better than everyone but we need to know this …

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. Credit goes to the sharp editing that threads …

I have never seen a movie more stock full of needless expository fan service than Mission Impossible: The Final Reckoning. Hey, you remember that mcguffin from 5 movies & almost 20 years ago? Well it’s tangentially important to the backstory of a side plot of this movie! It’s that for like an hour.
How this was made: an AI model (deepseek-v4-flash) read 34 of the 149 public posts we collected about this film and wrote the summary, likes and dislikes, citing the posts behind each point ([n] opens the post). A second AI pass checked every statement against the posts it cites; anything it could not match was removed, and code removed any statement with quotation marks, numbers that are not in the posts, or unattributed claims about people. The split is counted from the posts’ own ratings. Generated Oct 10, 2026. Method
Critics, per Wikipedia
Mission: Impossible – The Final Reckoning grossed $197.4 million in the United States and Canada, and $401.4 million in other territories, for a worldwide total of $598.8 million. It was considered a box office disappointment, given its $300–400 million budget. In the United States and Canada, The Final Reckoning was released alongside Lilo & Stitch, and was initially projected to gross $80–110 million over the four-day Memorial Day weekend. Final Reckoning earned $24.8 million on its opening day, which included $8.3 million from Thursday night previews, setting a new opening day record for the franchise. The film debuted to $64 million over its standard three-day weekend and reached $79…

neutral · AI labelView post →Watching the new Mission Impossible and while it may be true he may be the greatest blockbuster actor in the history of film, it may be time for Hollywood to admit that Tom Cruise is 63 years old and his face is starting to look like a catcher’s mitt.
negative · AI labelView post →It used to be that “revealing the identity of covert operatives” was the goal of the villains in a Mission: Impossible movie but now it’s just a normal day at the White House

The Constant Gardener (never even starts gardening) 2. The Man Who Wasn’t There (yes he was) 1. The NeverEnding Story (ends)
neutral · AI labelView post →Tom Cruise is now older than Jon Voight was when he played the bad guy in the first Mission Impossible movie, and for the last one they should have Tom Cruise morph into him and the movie is the first Mission Impossible but old Tom Cruise is there, witnessing fate but being unable to change it

negative · AI labelView post →The Mission Impossible movies, say, are more serious works of film than Derek Jarman's Blue. Film is about visuals and sound, after all, and because Blue doesn't utilize its medium to its full potential, it's a failure, unlike, say, Mission Impossible III. Jarman is not doing the work.
