Mission: Impossible - The Final Reckoning Twitter (X) Review: Here's What Netizens Are Saying

Given the advance booking updates, Tom Cruise starrer Mission: Impossible - The Final Reckoning is all set to take the box office by storm in India. Is the film worth watching on big screens? Given fans' reactions, it is. Netizens who have already watched the film are heaping praises on the final chapter of the spy actioner. Taking to Twitter (now 'X'), one of the users wrote, "#MissionImpossibleTheFinalReckoning stands as one of the greatest action movies of all time. The tension, stunts, direction, editing, everything borders on perfection.

Tom Cruise delivers yet another legendary performance, and the production value is simply insane. If you thought you'd seen it all in this franchise, this redefines what's impossible. An absolutely mind-blowing experience."

Another Twitter user wrote, "#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 sequences. I like the third act the most but it took a well to get there. You have to be patient. No matter you like the plot or not, you will still admire what Tom Cruise did for this franchise over the years. #MissionImpossible"

One of the fans praised Tom Cruise for doing those high-octane stunts at the age of 62. The person tweeted, "Mission: Impossible The Final Reckoning is a fantastic, grand finale to one of the most exciting, celebrated franchises in the past 30 years. Tom Cruise and Christopher McQuarrie continue their partnership to create breathtaking action and gives the audience an emotional sendoff that they deserve with the best action and stunt work yet.

The first hour starts a bit slow and feels uneven with the constant flashbacks and Entity exposition but as soon as the plot gets going it kicks off on such a high note and delivers arguably the finest action and filmmaking we seen in the franchise yet with the cast in top form. It may feel messy and can draw on its callbacks a bit too much but means well and it's a beautiful, emotional mess that really takes your breath away and makes it hard not to enjoy. Certain shots left me speechless.

The 15 minute submarine sequence is the best set piece of the entire franchise. Better than the Burj Khalifa climb. Better than the Train crash. Better than the Motorcycle Chase. Better than the Halo jump and Helicopter fights. The plane hang is a ridiculous achievement and I wonder if Tom Cruise is even human to pull these off. Hayley Atwell MVP once again."

The story of Mission: Impossible - The Final Reckoning starts two months after the events of Dead Reckoning Part 1 with IMF agent Ethan going on with this mission stopping Gabriel from obtaining the 'Entity'.
