A viewer shared, “#MissionImpossibleTheFinalReckoning delivers a satisfying end to the saga, if it really is the end—packed with reflections on Ethan Hunt’s past and his unwavering motto. And yes, Cruise is still running full speed like he did decades ago 😄. The action scenes continue to impress.”

The final act really stood out for me, but the film takes its time getting there. Be prepared to wait it out. Regardless of how you feel about the plot, Tom Cruise’s dedication to this series is truly admirable. #MissionImpossible

#MissionImpossibleTheFinalReckoning in general is a satisfying ending to the franchise(if it ends)with lots of recalls of what Ethan Hunt has been through and his motto. Tom Cruise still runs a lot and as fast as 30 years ago 😄! There are still plenty of amazing action… pic.twitter.com/EI9w0OBbL4

This is what another A user remarked, “Arguably the greatest disappointment in years. I hate to say it, but I’m not even kidding.”

Maybe the biggest disappointment of the decade so far, I wish I was joking.

One fan posted, “#MissionImpossibleTheFinalReckoning is a satisfying and emotionally rich ending to the saga. It feels the most intense so far, offering top-tier stunt work and standout performances from the entire cast.”

#MissionImpossibleTheFinalReckoning is an emotional, riveting, & perfect Mission impossible finale. That feels the most visceral of them all. With pound for pound punches, exhilarating stunts (that might be the best of the franchise), & incredible performances throughout. pic.twitter.com/XiK1IkqXaE

Another reaction stated, “#MissionImpossibleTheFinalReckoning didn’t quite hit the mark for me. The beginning is a chore to sit through, overly complex, and unnecessarily long.

The third act redeems it a bit, but I’m not sold on the way it wraps up. Cruise does what he does best, but this one feels mid-tier. 3.5/5.”

Now that embargo has lifted, #MissionImpossibleTheFinalReckoning left me underwhelmed. The 1st act is a slog, it's too plotty and at least 20 minutes too long. I also don't know if I'm on board with the ending, despite a terrific third act. Cruise is great in a mid MI movie.3.5⭐️ pic.twitter.com/DOrsZXvUcU
