Critic Reviews
"Don’t blink during the talky setups.The next bangar stunt will be up soon to knock you for a tornado of loops. And doing it himself is the default mode for Cruise, a physical phenom who uses every muscle in his body (no A.I. for him) to astonish us."
"The film entertains, moves, keeps its hero on the right path, and has at least one memorable sequence that gives you goosebumps because it looks so realistic. [Full review in Spanish]"
"Predictably, this new movie is overblown, inanely plotted, clotted with expository dialogue and boundlessly self-congratulatory. But, you know, it's also fun to watch."
"One of the weakest."
"When it comes to this final entry in the series, it's unfortunate to have to say that the balance has shifted in the wrong direction, with exposition dominating the runtime, and action subsequently taking a backseat to it."
"If this really is Tom Cruise’s last mission, it is a fitting conclusion to the saga. The many ticking clocks keep everyone on edge for most of the picture with some unavoidable heartbreak, and a lot of breath-holding as actions come down to the wire."
Audience Reviews
A super solid end to a great franchise.
long movie but still very good. proud TC finishing strong
Was the perfect film for the IMAX experience and the movie itself was a fitting (possible) wrap to the franchise
You have to watch it because it was the finale, but story line and plot of both part I and II weren’t very good.
very long and too many characters
Love these movies! Tom Cruise is an action movie legend!!
