Mission Impossible: The Final Reckoning Is The Dumbest Movie Of 2025

This week, we watched Mission Impossible: The Final Reckoning… and folks, Tom Cruise has officially lost the plot.

In a movie stuffed with faux-philosophical ramblings about fate, destiny, and the nature of choice, the only real choice we had was whether to laugh or cry. Spoiler: we laughed. A lot.

Despite the highest stakes ever™️, there’s never any real tension—because let’s be honest, we all know Tom Cruise’s Ethan Hunt is untouchable. The film throws existential monologues at you like it’s Oppenheimer, then immediately launches into a mid-air biplane chase where Cruise is hanging from the wing like a messianic daredevil auditioning for God himself. And somehow, it only gets dumber from there.

At this point, Ethan Hunt isn’t a spy—he’s a prophet, a savior, a man burdened with destiny and an unlimited stunt budget. And while the script tries to convince us that the fate of the world hangs in the balance, it’s hard to feel suspense when the lead seems convinced he is the balance.

Yet… somehow… it’s kind of brilliant? The stunts are mind-blowingly over-the-top, the set pieces defy logic, and it’s all so self-serious that it wraps around and becomes unintentionally hilarious. This isn’t action cinema—it’s operatic chaos, and we couldn’t look away.

If you’ve ever wondered what it feels like to watch a franchise implode in slow motion while its star walks on air, this is the episode for you.
