Critics Consensus

Fast, sleek, and fun, Mission: Impossible - Fallout lives up to the "impossible" part of its name by setting yet another high mark for insane set pieces in a franchise full of them.

Chicago Reader

Ironically, the most entertaining element of all may be the star's advancing age; Cruise, well into his 50s, scores numerous laughs as the increasingly confused CIA agent, leaping into one spectacular stunt after another and then wishing he hadn't.

The thought crosses the mind: Where can it go from here? The answer is pretty much everywhere. It keeps on going and going, following one exciting sequence with another and then another.

I stayed to the final credit, in case there was a clever tag, but I didn't feel cheated when there wasn't one. I needed the time to catch my breath.

Everyone else may be in it for the spectacle (the stunts, the foreign locations, the outfits), but for me, even in an action movie, the story is everything, and I needed a break to get through this one.

BFI

By 2018, a franchise that began with Tom Cruise dangling from the ceiling of a Langley vault was dangling him off a 1,981-foot-high cliff, illustrating how Mission Impossible’s stunts have only gotten bigger, bolder and more bonkers.

It didn’t seem like it was possible, but McQuarrie outdid himself and made an even better Mission: Impossible movie with Fallout.

Rated: 5/5

exciting, captivating, suspenseful, and girl power! This film had high expectations, a huge budget, lots of hype, and it did not disappoint! Knowing that Tom does his own stunts makes it that much cooler to watch. I was on the edge of my seat for two and a half hours! The plot twists and complicated storylines were captivating, although I think Henry Cavill's character development could have used some more work. The music and sound effects were classic, appropriate and added to the scene without being overwhelmingly loud or distracting - no small feat! Also, I love the strong, powerful, badass women in this movie!

Rated 4 out of 5 stars

It fits the mould. It is the archetypal mission impossible film where the world is saved with a second to spare. Stunts and car chases aplenty. Carvill out acts Tom Cruise as you would expect. A decent action film. Watched on DVD.

This movie is an excellent watch, with stunning action, good cinematography, it even ties up loose ends in the franchises story. My biggest complaint with this is the repetitive sound track. So if the only problem is the soundtrack, you know it's a good movie. (Even then, the st isnt that bad, it's just a little repetitive.)
