Mission: Impossible – The Final Reckoning

2025

Mission Impossible is my favorite franchise of all time. I watch the entire series ively at least once or twice a month (no exaggeration). 

The first hour broke my heart. Clumsy and expository in a way I never thought McQ was capable of… UNTIL it isn’t. That rocky first hour gives way to the most insane and emotionally overwhelming back half you could imagine. I found it hard to keep from tearing up every 15min or so. 

Not ready to say goodbye to this franchise, tbh.

EDIT: surprise MVP - Rolf Saxon.

Crazy how much of an actual movie this is. 

Sentiment that’s not constantly undercut by lame jokes? Check. Action that’s not CGI’d within an inch of its life? Check. Something, anything that might resemble a theme? Check. 

I don’t need blockbusters to be defining works of art, but I do need them to try. It’s nice to see Marvel acknowledge this for once.

God, I needed this film so much.

A shaggy dog love story filled with anger and acceptance, told to the tune of the weirdos this world seems to forget.
