Movie Reviews:
“Assemble, blend, sprinkle with comic relief, serve. The masses will eat it up. And really, who can blame them?” wrote Tom Long from Detroit News.
"Sleek and bloated, specific and generic, “Rogue Nation” is pretty much like most of the “Impossible” movies in that it’s an immense machine that Mr. McQuarrie, after tinkering and oiling, has cranked up again and set humming with twists and turns, global trotting and gadgets, a crack supporting cast and a hard-working star," wrote Manohla Dargis from New York Times.
"It’s a giggle and a thrill, and after all these years (and whatever you think of him), Tom Cruise still does it exceptionally well," wrote Ty Burr from Boston Globe.
"The series is also becoming almost as huggy and self-congratulatory as the Fast and Furious films," wrote David Edelstein from New York Magazine/Vulture.
"At the age of 53 Mr. Cruise continues to give his all to these films, and his all in this latest episode is more than enough," wrote Joe Morgenstern from The Wall Street Journal.
'“Rogue Nation” flies by despite its running time of 131 minutes, not a single one of which holds up to scrutiny for basic plausibility," wrote Kerry Lengel from Arizona Republic.
"It's a sterling example of the elegance, wit and harrowing flesh-and-blood stunt work that have made the "Missions: Impossible" the most reliable blockbuster series going: Five films, some weirder than others, but not a stinker in the bunch," wrote Chris Klimek from NPR.
