One online reviewer, Straw Hat Goofy, offers a balanced assessment of the film. Goofy praises Tom Cruise's performance, calling it 'never better,' while also highlighting the 'epic stunts,' especially a thrilling sequence involving a plane. However, he notes that the film's 'exposition is a bit clunky' and doesn't always flow smoothly. Despite this, Goofy concludes that the film is a 'popcorn summer movie' worth seeing. "Tom Cruise has never been better as Ethan Hunt," Goofy states. He also points out that the film's retrospective nature forces a look back at the character's journey. This sentiment highlights the film's attempt to weave together the past and present narratives of the franchise. The reviewer's balanced approach makes this a valuable contribution to the ongoing conversation about the film's strengths and weaknesses.
