I guess I'm the target audience for this movie because I think it was an absolute masterclass in producing an enjoyable action movie. Cinematography was great, the story was paced extremely well, and the casting of ALL roles was absolutely perfect.

Cruise, Pegg and Rhames were awesome as always, Whigham and Davis were great additions, but the power quartet of Ferguson, Atwell, Klementieff and Kirby, really went above and beyond in making this movie perfect. Not to mention the chilling confidence of Morales as Gabriel, who practically oozed tangible danger.

From the pre-opening credits scene to the final act, you will be on the edge of your seat - especially during any fight scene that involves Ferguson or Klementieff - and whilst there are moments that the tempo slows down to advance the story, it is always completely captivating.

The single, solitary, disappointment comes as the credits roll, and you remember you're going to have to wait until next year to see how it ends.

Felt like the most movie-movie ever. Too many plot conveniences, too much was predictable, too much was outlandish. And the movie tried to be too serious about it all.

Plot was easy to grasp and not confusing. Also the AI fear mongering was funny. Especially the growling noise they gave it.

I am a fan of the series, but honestly, I didn't like this one much. There are no big, elaborate grand missions like in previous ones, no spy moments. The AI thing is laughably bad; they have the looming danger of an AI taking over all digital electronics, yet Benji was using a driverless car and GPS to track Ethan down, even during the final train arc. Elsa had to die without any reason, and there is no explanation for Grace's existence, except to be taken as a hostage at some point so Ethan can save her by giving back the Key to the bad guys in the next part. If you actually want to see an 'AI gone full God mod,' go watch 'Person of Interest'.

The movie was fun but I get the feeling they dreamed up the stunt sequences and built the story around them. The script wasn't as tight as it could have been and the plotting was sometimes illogical. I can't fault Tom's commitment to entertaining us though, so kudos to his energy and acting talents.

I haven't seen the previous films, so it was relatively difficult for me to piece together who's who, but it was still enjoyable for me. We saw the beginning of a big whole that gripped the viewer all along, but I really, I can't want to see the next half!

I can't believe it. They've matched Fallout. I loved it. It had everything I wanted, and some things I didn't know I wanted. It had me grinning, hooting and utterly thrilled. I'm ecstatic.

Hands down the worst Mission Impossible move of them all.

Incredible action sequences. Puts Indiana Jones to shame. Must see in theaters. Maybe twice.

Action sequences were fun... Tom and Hayley were surprisingly good onscreen... only watched for tom cruise... story was dumb. Ghost Protocol still remains the best for me

Saw it in 4DX, two old couples walked out during the cold open, left with a broken collarbone and a dislocated shoulder and high as fuck on cinema

Well, it was definitely a Tom Cruise movie. Good action and a decently engaging plot but nothing that stood out really. Still, I had fun watching it in the big screen. It was very theatrical

Make the film 15 minutes shorter and take out the pseudo-Eagle Eye AI and maybe it would be decent.

The tropes are tired, the stunts were just ok, everyone is afraid of an AI that somehow is terrifying yet doesn’t do anything the entire film. The fact that there’s supposed to be a part 2 to this is concerning. There wasn’t enough plot to sustain one full film.

The movie started awesome, but in the middle it went sideways for me. [spoiler] The intro and the premise were awesome, but somewhere around the meeting with Vanessa Kirby character it got predictable and everything was stretch too much. Even Ilsa dead was too stretched, predictable and not emotional. I like Rebecca Ferguson, I guess she opted out of the franchise. [/spoiler]. Hayley Atwell was amazing in her role. Her character was well thought and I think there is future for her in Mission Impossible. There were some bending of physical laws and some little inconsistencies, but I guess I can live with that. Overall nice start, not so good ending. I hope the second part do better.

Nobody makes movies like Tom Cruise. I was hooked the entire time. Great action throughout but the plot was a little hard to follow at first. There are too many separate characters to follow. I loved Hayley Atwell and hope she sticks around in the series but killing off Rebecca Ferguson should be a crime. Can't wait for part two.

Concept is a bit hard to buy into, but once you do, the movie is great.

Also not 1, 2, 3 but 4 powerful female characters, that don't feel forced. Also if they announce Pom as the new Harley Quinn in Gunn's DCU, I'd be okay with that.

Also Hayley Atwell is fantastic.

As long as the film is, it never felt like there was a single dull or throwaway moment. And that's an accomplishment.

My only real criticism is that, although hugely impactful for the story, yet another strong female character had to die in service of a male protagonist's story. And there was no real sense of closure for her story at all. However, I'm still holding out slight hope that it was a trick and she's not actually dead. It definitely wouldn't be the first time they've pulled that. My rating might change if that's the case.

I’m exhausted but so happy. I’ve never gripped my seat so much. Bravo Tom!

Finally a movie that combines my favourite things; Subway Surfer, AI and a submarine voyage gone awry.

Hilariously terrible dialogue, infinite plot holes, macguffins and continuity errors. But that’s not what people watch this for anyway. Good action, a tad overlong. Go in knowing what you are getting into and it will be fun.

Tom cruise still solidified himself as the best action actor despite his age .. this movie was a thrill from beginning to end its unreal how they keep one upping themselves with these movies ngl … absolute must watch run to the movies right now .. yes you right now!!!!!

Damn! Too bad they killed Ilsa Faust, Rebecca Ferguson is my favorite actress. Will sure miss seeing her in action on the second part of the film. Hope they will think of a way to bring her back just like Gal Gadot did in Fast and Furious franchise.
