‘Mission Impossible: The Final Reckoning' Is The Worst-Reviewed MI In 19 Years

Mission Impossible: The Final Reckoning Paramount Not that reviews are bad for Mission Impossible: The Final Reckoning out this coming Friday, but they have laid out an interesting comparison point of how the series has 'split' in the last thirty years, indicating a clear break point and how The Final Reckoning has slipped well below that.

That's been 12 years of excellently rated action films, a run that we rarely, if ever, see in the genre. Mission Impossible: The Final Reckoning Paramount The Final Reckoning? It broke this streak. And it's fallen a decent amount, 15% below Ghost Protocol and Rogue Nation, and much closer to MI3's 72%. Again, a 79% score is not bad, but it has indeed snapped a 12-year streak for the franchise in terms of scores. What are critics saying about its faults? Here are a few takes: Of course, there is high praise as well: So, is Mission Impossible ending on a decent, but not amazing note? That depends on whether you trust that Tom Cruise will walk away, or if you believe a huge box office would discourage them from doing more. So we'll have to see.
