Released on May 21 in our rooms, “Mission: Impossible – The Final Reckoning” presents itself as the latest opus in the saga launched in 1996. But do you know what is its most rated episode to date? Index: Tom Cruise makes a motorcycle there.
Is this Tom Cruise's last impossible mission to which we can attend in French rooms since May 21? If you have not yet seen the film by Christopher Mcquarrie, that's not where you will find the answer (but it can be there). But, insofar as he presented himself as the culmination of the adventures of Ethan Hunt, launched in 1996 in front of the camera of Brian de Palma, nothing prevents us from making a small assessment and looking at your favorite episode. With a little surprise in the key.
With, very exactly, an average of 4.03 out of 5 obtained from 10,909 notes*, it is Dead Reckoning which is essential within the franchise, just in front of Fallout and its very solid 4. In a saga where the film the least well rated (the second, that of John Woo, without surprise) is 2.9, sign of high standards of the mission: impossible on the big screen.
Released in July 2023, after numerous postpones due to COVID, mission: Impossible – Dead Reckoning had however disappointed the world box office. Confronted with the combined tidal waves of Barbie and Oppenheimer, he had reported “that” $ 571 million and won fourth place in the franchise ranking on this plan, but it is clear, through these notes, that it was more appreciated than you think. More than The Final Reckoning which is 3.7 today.
While it could be criticized for being only the first half of a story, the feature was distinguished thanks to its action scenes (the car pursuit in Rome, the motorcycle jumping from a cliff, the fall of the train …), the total investment of Tom Cruise, the long tragic sequence in Venice, the palpable enthusiasm of the French Pom Klementieff or even the very current concerns. Artificial intelligence faced by Ethan.
Some extracts from criticism from Internet users who took 5 on 5 to “Mission: Impossible – Dead Reckoning”
Legend13: “With each new release of a mission: Impossible we say that a failure, that a crash is possible. It is badly knowing the talent and perfectionism of Tom Cruise and Christopher McQuarrie (…) Despite his substantial duration (almost 2:40) I was not bored for a second. However, Christopher McQuarrie does not give in the escalation and even offers long sequences of dialogues, weariness or boredom.
Of course the director puts us in the mirettes again with stunning sequences of actions. Pursuing races in Rome, shooting in the desert, fighting in dark and narrow streets. There is something for everyone. The director even allows himself to play with the saga codes to punch his protagonists (Benji who guides Ethan remotely). But the ultimate is of course the teased scene for months on posters and trailers. I'm talking about the long sequence on the train. Just incredible and memorable. “
Kabah974: “WOW! What a slap! Really what an anthology action film! Thank you Tom for these moments of bravery of anthology, this good improbable scenario in two parts, these incredible stunts and this impeccable acting game whose casting! For his money for a long time (and in two parts) “
“Large dementia scenes of which Tom Cruise has the secret”
SELINGUES G: “This film is also a kind of assessment for our agent; we can feel the end of arrival on the eve of the last episode because Hunt is plunged into a story that brings him back to his past but also to the people to whom he holds the most. The scenario impresses with his thoroughness and his falsely slow rhythm to pose the history of the last opus. All mixed with large scenes of insane action which Tom Cruise has the secret. Not at the ankle of Rogue Nation but the guilty pleasure of seeing a new one this actor played one of his greatest roles is certain !! “
Mallory: “Incredible! I saw the film in preview and it was a hell of a slap! As usual the waterfalls are breathtaking but we expect no less from Tom Cruise which as usual offers us great spectacle. The film lasts a long time, which allows to install a real scenario for this film and the continuation of it. There is a little less action, which is necessary to prepare the public. Impressive have been preserved for the end, which allows this chapter to be closed in a masterful way.
Noah n: “Over the episodes, I have the impression that they are improving: the action scenes are always more and more spectacular (at the same time, there is no CGI), the music is strong and masterful, the actors are really good, the scenes are unpredictable and I have experienced one of the best cinés sessions (…) It is for me the best opus, it is very entertaining, the actors are very good, the music is very good and it is really good, indoors and not streaming. “
“This film is also a kind of assessment for our agent”
Paul Atréide: “It was incredible, being a huge fan of the saga I was waiting for this film with a lot of impatience and I was in no way disappointed. The casting always at the top, the light is perfect, a very work staging (Mcquarrie” has not lost my hand), a tension that hung me for my seat on certain scenes and my God the phases of action what, it is purely enjoyable and with the points cited before it is even better. I did not get bored once, I really got my foot and I look forward to the part 2 to conclude this wonderful saga. “
Surfer974: “Nothing equals Tom Cruise, nothing equals the practical effects, nothing equals years of work on a scenario, on real waterfalls, on prosecution, filmed on on -board camera, nothing equals, a basic but effective scenario, we are in light years of modern Marvel and their missed digital effects made by people who do not at heart to do good work, but which have for financial profitability, Place to take full advantage of this wonder, entertainment.
And you ? What is your mission: Impossible favorite?
