It wasn't remotely surprising that Mission: Impossible - Fallout scored strong reviews, though it was certainly unexpected that the sixth entry into the action-thriller franchise ended up the best-reviewed of the lot.

Its stunning 97% score saw it top Ghost Protocol and Rogue Nation's joint 93% rating, but the real kicker comes when you look at Fallout's average score.

Its jaw-dropping 8.4 rating isn't just leagues ahead of Ghost Protocol (7.7) and Rogue Nation (7.5), it places Fallout among the greatest action movies ever made.

Fallout is just a fraction away from topping the likes of Die Hard (8.5), Terminator 2 (8.5), The Dark Knight (8.6) and Mad Max: Fury Road (8.6), which on the basis of its exciting-but-familiar trailers nobody could've seen coming.

Good luck topping this next time, Tom.
