Not only is Fallout the best Mission: Impossible film by a considerable margin, it is also undoubtedly the best action film of the year.
OK, McQuarrie may not have De Palma’s sweat-drop precision, John Woo’s craziness or the impish wit of Brad Bird, but his mastery of logistics here is easily sufficient to make it the blockbuster of the summer.

Mission: Impossible - Fallout fills with the best action in the franchise and some of the best in movie history, it also fills with the best action cinematography, shot, and the best villain in the franchise, Fallout might not be the best story in the franchise, i ain't gonna lie to you it is a bit complicated but as long as you get the main point you're fine and i'm fine with the story from the beginning till the end, it is an exciting, entertaining, and mind blowing action film, Tom Cruise is the man, so do the rest of the team, Henry Cavill was just a really really good addition to this movie and he is special, people, i still can't get over with that whole last sequence, it was just amazing, if every action in the Fast & Furious franchise was crazy silly, in Mission: Impossible it was a crazy badass of awesomeness, and the rest of Fallout was also an incredibly funny, intense, and exciting new adventure of Ethan Hunt, Fallout was the new best in the Mission: Impossible franchise.

As these films have gone on, they’ve become more and more fascinated with Hunt’s essential ludicrousness. Mission: Impossible – Fallout decrees him elemental—a crucial, indefinable component keeping the very fabric of humanity knitted together. The film is so dizzyingly fun that, at least while you’re watching, it seems like a sound conclusion.
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.
The practical effects, meaning the real stuff the computer never touched, make all the difference when you’re asking audiences to see the characters as human instead pawns in a digital game.
Not just one of the best but, at its best, an exercise in pure action-movie propulsion and an essay in how to get from Point A to Point B in the most ingenious and exhausting way imaginable.
As in Rogue Nation, Fallout‘s action scenes are cleanly composed and easy to follow, and so abundant as to become monotonous.
What an incredible movie. The action sequences are just simply jaw dropping. The HALO jump, the bathroom fight, the Paris motorcycle chase that turns into a car chase, the helicopter chase are all the best of what they could have come up with. Add to that some shootouts and Tom Cruise running at 100MPH, we get the most enthralling action film of the decade. Not just the action scenes, the character scenes are also really intriguing and well written. Christopher McQuarrie shows how talented he is with this and the predecessor, Rogue Nation. He not only can really pull of twists and turns in the espionage plot, he genuinely gave stakes to the action happening until the end. Tom Cruise is amazing as Ethan Hunt are the other characters of Pegg, Rhames, Ferguson as well as newcomers Kirby and Cavill. Henry Cavill is a knockout highlight as the ruthless CIA agent forced to complete the mission with Ethan Hunt. Both his performance and his stunt performances are the best of his career. I am glad to have been able to see this film 4 times in theaters, including once in IMAX and every minute was worth it. I can hardly wait for Dead Reckoning.

Mission: Impossible - Fallout is one of the most over-rated movies of all time. The acting was average. The plot twists were predictable and unsurprising. The action scenes weren't anything spectacular. Just the normal run of the mill action scenes. I didn't feel any tenseness during the movie and couldn't wait until the movie was over. It seems this movie is getting rave reviews solely because Tom Cruise does his own stunts. That is admirable, but it doesn't make the movie phenomenal when everything else is so average.

Immaculately crafted with a charming cast and spectacular stunts, this is everything you could ask for from a traditional spy movie. But it suffers from the same problems that begin to plague every long-running franchise at some point or another. Mainly a lack of danger and a larger history that makes it somewhat inaccessible to newcomers. I mean, are the IMF ever not going to save the day? I think not.
We already know that Hunt and his crew are going to be okay so there's no real urgency. Luckily, the people behind the movie knew this and took a more sentimental approach that celebrates the characters and their relationships with one another. It's surprisingly effective, but only if you've been keeping up with the series over the years. Naturally this won't have any impact on those popping in for the first time to see for themselves why this is being heralded by so many as "one of the greatest action movies ever made." A praise I find to be a little overzealous.
The set-pieces are gorgeously shot, I don't have words to describe how clean the choreography for the fist-fight and shootouts is, and it's crazy to think Cruise performed all these stunts himself. That being said, I found nothing here that was able to top anything from Rogue Nation. How do you beat a guy hanging on side of a plane after all?
The plot is your standard collection of spy movie cliches, only dialed up to 11. There are more twists, double crosses, and hidden agendas than I would have ever thought could be fit into a single movie. And, big surprise, the new characters are the ones you can't trust. Because of how melodramatic all of that seems, Fallout is at it's best when it's focusing on the action at hand. Mostly because it's a lot of fun to watch Cruise and Cavill make a mess out of what should have been smooth operations. These are some of the most buffoonish spies you'll ever meet. Not only is luck almost never on their side, but they do a great job of regularly screwing themselves over in humorous ways.
Main character Ethan Hunt is by far the most compelling part of the package. The way he analyzes every move he makes to ensure that his friends and civilians aren't harmed all while being riddled with guilt over past actions is endearing. I loved how the film explored his selfless motivations and sacrifices all while being backed up by a wonderfully layered performance its star. This is coming from someone who's not a Tom Cruise fan.
Henry Cavill makes a better villain than he ever has a hero, but is still vocally stiff. His monotone delivery of lines is at odds with his wonderfully expressive face. Those looks of condescension are pure gold.
Mission Impossible is still perfectly capable of delivering a steady supply of thrills, but at the same time has become dreadfully familiar. As a result it's hard to care about the needlessly complex and somewhat melodramatic quest for plutonium even with the added emotional edge that comes from the returning characters and thoughtful exploration of its lead. This might be the best put together in the series, but it falls just short of its most direct predecessor in terms of unforgettable moments. None this is to say I didn't enjoy the movie. It can be very exciting. I just think that it, and the spy genre as a whole, could use a bit of reinvention to make things feel fresh again because the predictability is only getting more noticeable with each passing release.

This movie is an awfully funny one you can have a good time with. Alas, the joy is somewhat spoiled for you can't wipe out your suspicion that all this slapstick is not intended! And therefore, different from the intended humor of The Naked Gun (boat fight), you feel somewhat ashamed, like laughing on a car accident.
