Na de wereldpremière in Parijs sijpelden er al enkele enthousiaste reacties op Mission: Impossible – Fallout binnen en na de eerste persvoorstellingen is het hek helemaal van de dam. Amerikaanse critici gaan namelijk volledig overstag voor Christopher McQuarrie’s sequel op het eveneens door hem gerigisseerde Mission: Impossible – Rogue Nation.

Acteurs Tom Cruise, Rebecca Ferguson en Henry Cavill worden geprezen en de film wordt vergeleken met enkele groten in het actiegenre zoals George Millers Mad Max: Fury Road en Christopher Nolans The Dark Knight. Eén iemand noemde Fallout ook de Skyfall van de Mission: Impossible-franchise.

Turning my twitter into a #MissionImpossible fan page. Goddamn. “Fallout” is an A+ action movie. The movie has the momentum of a freight train going off the rails, and when it does it’s exhilarating. Each action scene is breathles/engrossing in intensity and execution.

The acting Rebecca Ferguson can do through a fucking motorcycle helmet is amazing. The CGI justice league mustache was worth it because Cavill’s “Fallout” bathroom fight is legendary. Tom Cruise you’re a psycho, never change. #MissionImpossibleFallout

MISSION: IMPOSSIBLE may be @TomCruise & @ChrisMcQuarrie’s THE DARK KNIGHT. This is EASILY the best active film franchise, the best action movie of the summer, and between 10 & 100 times better than ANY Marvel movie. Cruise is the greatest movie star there is, was, & EVER will be.

MISSION: IMPOSSIBLE — FALLOUT is a masterpiece?

MISSION: IMPOSSIBLE FALLOUT is the rare true direct sequel in this series. And we learn the most about Ethan Hunt. It’s the SKYFALL of M:I movies. Also, yes, it’s insanely exhilarating.

MISSION: IMPOSSIBLE – FALLOUT. This movie is sex.

I come bearing a simple message: Go see MISSION: IMPOSSIBLE – FALLOUT on the biggest screen possible. Awesome.

Mission: Impossible – Fallout is like tiptoeing across a sky-high tightrope for 2.5 hours. Flawless momentum, genuinely jaw-dropping setpieces. Henry Cavill is a fantastic addition. The best action movie since Fury Road.

#MissionImpossibleFallout is 2.5 hours of Tom Cruise proving he’s Superman. I loved every insane minute.

Yup! The Mission Impossible franchise is my drug and I am HIGH on Fallout! Good gracious!

HOLY. ****.

MISSION: IMPOSSIBLE — FALLOUT is a freakin’ cinematic shot of adrenaline to the heart.

The most complete, balanced and awe-inspiring MISSION.

They don’t make movies like this anymore — and I don’t know if we’ll ever see another star like @TomCruise in our lifetime. pic.twitter.com/VtZc5A1TcX

Mission: Impossible Fallout is relentless. It’s intense and so flat out exciting that you laugh because you can’t believe what you’re seeing. It’s incredible.
