Another internet user penned, “#MissionImpossible The Final Reckoning is very complicated. Less action-heavy than you may expect and in many ways feels incredibly bloated. Exposition is handled better, and when the action is happening, it’s jaw-dropping. Some really high highs, but some really low lows.”

A third X user said, “#MissionImpossibleTheFinalReckoning | First Half | Ok It’s a one-man show by #TomCruise… So far wow elements less, the first half feels a bit lengthy. The action scenes are on and off, with dialogue-heavy segments dominating.”

One tweet reads, “Mission Impossible: Final Reckoning- I felt surprisingly mixed on this movie. The first hour is a brutal series of exposition dumps in a row that felt like Scientology seminars and winks to the franchise but then the action gets going and it gets fun. I don't know folks…”

Another viewer tweeted, “#MissionImpossibleTheFinalReckoning in general is a satisfying ending to the franchise(if it ends)with lots of recalls of what Ethan Hunt has been through and his motto. Tom Cruise still runs a lot and as fast as 30 years ago! There are still plenty of amazing action sequences. I like the third act the most but it took a well to get there. You have to be patient. No matter you like the plot or not, you will still admire what Tom Cruise did for this franchise over the years. #MissionImpossible.”
