I’m surprised Tom Cruise approved this version of Mission: Impossible - The Final Reckoning. The movie felt incredibly rushed at the beginning. They had to cover too much ground and it felt disjointed. I think the poor start was hard to recover from. The script seemed so slapstick and a couple of the death scenes were laughable. Overall the cast couldn’t overcomes a poorly written script. The final third of the movie is classic MI and was enjoyable to watch. By the time the final monologue played I was a little more invested but ultimately I thought the movie was pretty weak overall. It felt corny. Not MI corny but bad corny. Tom Cruise is always entertaining to watch. That’s why this movie still earned 3 Stars.

I honestly don’t know how anyone could possibly be entertained by this movie. I considered walking out several times but somehow laboured through it. The script and plot are just ridiculous. The CGI is so poorly done. There’s so many plot holes that distract you from what little plot they attempted to execute. How does a movie like this get made without someone asking “WTF are we making here?” Terrible. Waste of money. Don’t degrade the original by seeing this idiotic film.
