Despite having already released seven installments, it seems that Mission Impossible is in the best shape of its entire history. The saga, starring Tom Cruise and initiated by Brian de Palma, is set to premiere its next film on July 12th. The first reviews have already arrived on Rotten Tomatoes… and they are magnificent.
Currently, Mission Impossible: Dead Reckoning – Part 1 —yes, it’s part 1 of 2— has an impressive 98% positive rating on the aggregator. The score is based on a substantial total of 112 reviews, and it’s not expected to drop significantly in the coming days, pending the audience’s response.
The highest rated film in the franchise
If it maintains this score, Mission Impossible 7 would be the highest-rated film in the entire franchise on Rotten Tomatoes. The previous film, Mission Impossible: Fallout, released in 2018, currently holds the title with a 97% positive rating. Thus, Mission Impossible 7 would surpass it by a narrow margin.
Here are some of the comments that have been made about the film, which promises to be a treat for fans of Tom Cruise’s franchise:
“The fact that McQuarrie and Cruise are finally able to reach this level of dizzying action and achieve a satisfying climax is a clear testament to their fierce commitment to these projects.” – Richard Lawson, Vanity Fair
“A return to an era when ‘summer movies’ represented something different from what studios produced during the other nine months of the year. Dead Reckoning delivers 163 minutes of adrenaline and excitement that never fall behind.” – Alonso Duralde, The Film Verdict
“If you’re a fan of this franchise, Mission: Impossible – Dead Reckoning Part One will have you on the edge of your seat and thrill you to the core. That’s a fact.” – Kristy Puchko, Mashable
“The connection between Ethan Hunt (Cruise) and his team members remains more effective than James Bond’s, more articulated than John Wick’s, and more tense than Fast & Furious.” – Kevin Fox Jr, Vague Visages
