Not only is Fallout the best Mission: Impossible film by a considerable margin, it is also undoubtedly the best action film of the year. Read full review

McQuarrie brings grace and grit, and Cruise brings it, period. This quick-witted, fleet-footed franchise shows no sign of flagging. Read full review

Mission: Impossible - Fallout merges the franchise’s big-budget spectacle with an utterly ferocious style of action filmmaking that far surpasses what McQuarrie executed in either Rogue Nation or Jack Reacher. Read full review

Some of it’s pleasingly old school in its reliance on formidable stunt work. Enough of it, though, gets a digital effects assist for the amazements to scale the heights of plausibility and then leap, like a gazelle, to the adjacent mountain of sublime ridiculousness. Read full review

His sixth Mission: Impossible movie, Mission: Impossible — Fallout, isn’t the best of the bunch (that would be number four, Brad Bird’s Ghost Protocol), but it’s easily the second-best and certainly the Cruise-iest, meaning it’s nearly as entertaining as it is strenuous. Which is a mighty high bar! Read full review

Mission: Impossible - Fallout is a fun but very familiar entry in the long-running franchise. Read full review

As in Rogue Nation, Fallout‘s action scenes are cleanly composed and easy to follow, and so abundant as to become monotonous. Read full review

Tom Cruise has done it again. Fallout is easily one of, if not the best action movies I've ever seen. The action is so pure, no cgi or easy routes taken, Tom Cruise, Henry Cavill, they went all out.

This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. greatest one of this series Ageless, riveting and seemingly unstoppable, Tom Cruise remains a force of nature in this Mission: Impossible franchise. The sixth film in the series is among the most outstanding, delivering a near-exhausting amount of fantabulous action sequences paired with deft character drama and the requisite life-or-death stakes. At nearly two-and-a-half hours, Fallout has ambitions as vast as its running time. McQuarrie weaves elements of tragedy and political commentary into action packed crime thriller.… Expand

This is by far the best Mission Impossible film by a long shot. It really is amazing that the sixth film in the franchise is better than its predecessors combined and if this standard maintains then it’s a franchise that certainly isn’t going away any time soon. Mission: Impossible – Fallout is not only as good as you’ve heard, it’s better.

Everyone’s back, director Christopher McQuarrie, Tom Cruise, Ving Rhames, Simon Pegg and Rebecca Ferguson. Also featuring some new additions, Angela Bassett, Henry Cavill and the infamous moustache that ruined Justice League. The story is simple enough, stop terrorists getting nuclear weapons at all costs. But the story isn’t where it’s at, it’s not about the gadgets or even the ridiculous masks that I can’t seem to get over. No it’s all about the action and the stunts and wow does it deliver. Once the action starts it just keeps on coming, an intense thrill from start to finish. The action sequences are spectacular. If there’s one thing you can count on is the stunts get better every time. Not only are they well coordinated they’re clear to watch. You’re never sitting there wondering who’s hitting who, the nausea inducing shaky cam sending you over the edge (Yeah I’m looking at you Bourne 5) or watching a car chase in a comical stream of quickly edited shots leaving you not knowing what the hell is going on (hang your head in shame Quantum of Solace). Mission: Impossible – Fallout is action filmmaking done to perfection with an electrifying film score by Lorne Balfe that compliments every scene, I loved it.

Some of you may know I’m not exactly the biggest Tom Cruise fan and that’s putting it mildly but damn he’s one hell of a stunt man. It’s not just the running, and the running. He’s doing everything from hanging on to the side of a helicopter to shattering his ankle while jumping from one building to another. The stunts and the film itself have exceeded expectations so believe me when I say under no circumstance should you miss this movie. Highly recommended and you know if I’m recommending a Tom Cruise movie then it has to be worth it.… Expand

Though this is probably one of the most fun and action packed M:I films, the plot is somewhat predictable and what little CGI is involved, is not done very well. Tom Cruise does do the best stunts of his career.

This is a part of the movie that I think has the closest link to the previous part of Mission: Impossible.

This so-called movie is just one boring chase scene after another and none of them are remotely plausible. Why hasn’t Tom Cruise retired already?
