Mission: Impossible – The Final Reckoning X Review: Tom Cruise's Ethan Hunt cranks the stakes a notch higher.
Mission: Impossible – The Final Reckoning X Review: Tom Cruise returned to the Cannes Film Festival in grand style on Wednesday night for the premiere of Mission: Impossible – The Final Reckoning. Since the film's much-anticipated screening, netizens have flooded social media with the film's reviews. The posts on X, formerly known as Twitter, paint a largely positive picture of the film.
One account wrote, 'With #MissionImpossible: The Final Reckoning, Tom Cruise & co. redefine the potential of what an action movie can be & soars the series to its greatest height. With terrific performances, fantastic direction, both hilarious & heartwarming moments atop its riveting high stakes & heart pounding, jaw dropping action – it's an unmissable experience that epically weaves the series' past into its present for a culminative event worthy of being seen on the biggest @IMAX screen available."
MISSION: IMPOSSIBLE – THE FINAL RECKONING is a beautiful 'final" run for Ethan Hunt. Suspend your disbelief and enjoy what Hunt pulls off. A nostalgic and beautiful ride. — Rachel Leishman (@RachelLeishman) May 14, 2025
A writer added, 'MISSION: IMPOSSIBLE – THE FINAL RECKONING is a beautiful 'final' run for Ethan Hunt. Suspend your disbelief and enjoy what Hunt pulls off. A nostalgic and beautiful ride." One account mentioned, 'No one can deny that the opening 1.5 hours of Mission: Impossible – The Final Reckoning is a hilariously bad exposition dump that goes on & on. But, unlike my fellow critics, I think the second half MORE than makes up for it with a truly entertaining, grandiose, gripping finale."
A critic wrote on X, 'MISSION: IMPOSSIBLE – THE FINAL RECKONING absolutely rocks. It cranks the stakes higher than ever before and masterfully fuses white-knuckle espionage with relentless action sequences. All hail Tom Cruise, who is once again a force of nature & the final 45 minutes? My GOD."
Set two months after the events of 2023's Dead Reckoning, the film follows Ethan Hunt's final mission: stopping an all-powerful AI known as 'the Entity" before it threatens global stability. Alongside Tom Cruise, the ensemble cast includes Hayley Atwell, Hannah Waddingham, Pom Klementieff, Nick Offerman, Shea Whigham, Simon Pegg, Katy O'Brian, Angela Bassett, Ving Rhames, and Esai Morales.
