With world-threatening stakes and epic set pieces to match that massive title, Mission: Impossible - Dead Reckoning Part One proves this is still a franchise you should choose to accept
Dead Reckoning never rises to that best-in-series movie’s level, though McQuarrie concocts set pieces and the cast carves out stand-alone moments that stick with you past the credit roll.
Dead Reckoning” is a perfectly competent entry in a perfectly competent franchise that has carried on for a lot longer -- the first one came out in 1996 -- than anyone could have predicted.
Fallout remains the best in the series, but Tom and his team have done good again. To hell with avatars and deepfakes... reckless and talented thesps still have the power to make us feel alive.
It feels like a movie that’s been assembled by an inattentive monkey, or a luckless studio intern who was handed a bucket of half-completed rushes and told, “Go make a Covid-beating blockbuster out of that.”
From what I've read, not as great as Fallout but still a good Mission Impossible movie. If it's just as good as the last few movies (Ghost Protocol, Rogue Nation, Fallout), I'm happy and will definitely see it in the theatres.
