Mission: Impossible 7 electrifies audiences with its action-packed storyline and breathtaking stunts Ethan Hunt's unmatched prowess takes center stage as critics hail the film as a thrilling masterpiece
Critics are now voicing their opinions on Mission: Impossible – Dead Reckoning Part One, the seventh installment in Paramount's highly popular series. Bringing back Tom Cruise as Ethan Hunt, the film also introduces Hayley Atwell and Pom Klementieff from the Marvel Cinematic Universe as new characters. This latest movie will pave the way for a sequel to be released next year, anticipated to be Cruise's final farewell to the Mission: Impossible franchise. Take a look at the reviews of the film below:
David Rooney, Hollywood Reporter
The strong cast, high-gloss production values and constant wow factor of the action offer plenty of distraction from the storytelling deficiencies.
Alex Godfrey of Empire has described this piece as an exhilarating and gripping masterpiece that keeps you on the edge of your seat from start to finish. The tension never wavers, even in the more subdued conversational moments. Once again, the mission has been successfully accomplished.
Dead Reckoning Part One may not be the top film in the Mission: Impossible series, but this remarkably enjoyable Dolby soap opera exemplifies the strengths of the franchise.
Mission: Impossible – Dead Reckoning Part One solidifies its position as an enthralling action franchise with its abundant confidence and showmanship.
"Mission: Impossible—Dead Reckoning Part One" falls slightly short of the exhilarating energy found in McQuarrie's previous installment, "Fallout," but it comes close and effectively crafts a gratifying conclusion while also setting the stage for the final chapter.
Despite not surpassing its predecessors, McQuarrie presents a compelling concept and numerous unforgettable moments, all the while skillfully intertwining the storylines with the underlying mythos of these films.
Todd McCarthy of Deadline describes this action film as not only serious and sharp-minded, but also of the highest caliber. With its thrilling storyline, it is no surprise that many fans will likely watch it multiple times before the release of Part Two next year. This exemplifies the pinnacle of Hollywood action filmmaking.
Jake Cole, Slant
The action consistently snaps the film into focus, but it further illustrates how badly the decision to split this narrative into two parts throws off its delicate rhythm.
