Tom Cruise’s much-awaited Mission Impossible 8 is here, and the audience reaction to it is massive.
On CinemaScore, it scored an A—from opening-day audiences and registered a strong rating at Rotten Tomatoes, 91%.
Besides the audience's responses, critics have swooned over the iconic franchise's eighth installment.
Collider penned it is "stuffed, convoluted, and ludicrous at times. But it’s also mostly a great send-off to this universe, a deserved celebration for everything this series has accomplished."
While Vulture reviewed, “It is a wildly silly, wildly entertaining adventure which periodically gives us a greatest-hits flashback montage of the other seven films in the M:I canon — but we still get a brand new, box-fresh Tom-sprinting-along-the-street scene, without which it wouldn't be M:I."
In other news, Angela Bassett, who played US President Erika Sloane, said she is glad she did not have to perform any stunts in the latest installment.
"There is no part of me whatsoever that thinks that, dreams that, hopes that and longs for that," she told HeyUGuys. "I am gobsmacked by that (Cruise's stunts)."
