Following the world premiere of Mission: Impossible – Dead Reckoning Part One in Rome on Monday, critics and fans who had the opportunity to see the film early on shared mostly flattering praise on social media.
The film, which follows 2018’s Fallout, was pushed back 90 minutes at its premiere after Cruise, 60, had an unscheduled meeting with Italian Prime Minister Giorgia Meloni, Variety reported.
That apparently frustrated audiences, who were reportedly tired of watching repetitive footage of red carpet interviews at the Auditorium della Conciliazione.
However, the audience changed their mood with some “warm applause” after the man of the hour finally arrived, along with his director and longtime collaborator Christopher McQuarrie.
A majority of the main cast also attended the premiere, including Cruise’s former girlfriend Hayley Atwell and her co-stars Rebecca Ferguson, Vanessa Kirby, Simon Pegg, Pom Kelmentieff, Shea Wigham and Esai Morales.
Reportedly, audiences in Rome were ecstatic when the Eternal City was featured in one scene on screen, and some people at the premiere cheered Cruise and shouted “Bravo Tom!” at the screen.
The latest part of Mission: Impossible premiered in the legendary Italian city as part of the Rome Film Festival after a significant portion of the film was shot in the capital.
Initial reactions to the film on Twitter have been overwhelmingly positive.

Gizmodo and io9 writer Germain Lussier called the new film “amazing” and said it has a “dynamic, timely story.”
“Excellent new characters. Huge variety of action and one final set piece that ranks 2-3 all-time for the franchise,” he added.
Fandango and Rotten Tomatoes’ Erik Davis boasted that he had the “absolute best time” watching Cruise’s new film.
He added it was “an impeccably made action film that never fails to entertain.”
“Each action sequence is long, crazy and intense. “The story is expansive and sprawling, but I like how it felt complete and set you longingly for what’s to come.”
Film critic Scott Mantz tweeted that Dead Reckoning was “worth the wait”!
He added that it was “absolutely fantastic” and called it the “best ‘mission’ yet” for the series.
“Great story, great cast, incredible action that will keep you hooked,” he continued, explaining that Cruise “outdid himself with BEST ACTION FILM OF THE SUMMER!”

Collider’s Perri Nemiroff called Mission: Impossible 7 “another winner of the franchise.”
“Once again, the production value is overwhelming as some of the clearest and most exciting set pieces were photographed in a way that really makes you feel like you’re in the middle of the action,” she enthused. “The emphasis on getting things on camera makes a HUGE difference and you can feel it.”
Geeks of Color’s Dorian Parks said Dead Reckoning is “potentially the best part of the series.”
“The scenes are stunning and the action sequences are really at the highest level.” “On the biggest screen available it’s a must see,” he wrote.
Entertainment industry reporter Jeff Sneider gave qualified praise that Dead Reckoning was “VERY good,” but lamented that it had less emotional intensity than Cruise’s hugely popular sequel, Top Gun: Maverick.
