He's just great at making mediocre but not bad films. None of his films are great films, but few of them are flat out horrible. This is an intentional strategy to retain his role as a generic, safe, bankable star.
You don't make great films without taking some risks, but one of those risks is that the film will turn out horribly, and you can't be a reliable investment if you have occasional bad films. Pretty much all actors who have made lots of really excellent films have also made lots of really terrible films.
Yeah, and it was a pretty average film. You just like it because of that one scene. Taken as a whole it was pretty dull.
Top Gun is the best action movie of all time
I think we both know that this is a completely moronic claim. I'm glad that you enjoyed it but even in the '80s, much less all time, there were better action films.
I'll even limit myself to action films released in the same decade as Top Gun:
>First Blood >Raiders of the Lost Ark >Police Story >Die Hard >Terminator

valkyrie
Austin Powers in Goldmember.
Worst trash Cruise has been ever in. His scenes the only good moment.
Oh no you didnt just say that you fricking Black person,
It’s kino.
Super kino.
All kino.
wienertail.
Nope. Those movies are simply incapable of being bad just off of Cruise’s presence
Any Mission Impossible after the first.
Mission Impossible 1 is pure shit.
Found the pleb
bait
Idk, The Mummy was pretty mediocre
Scientology going hard with the paid bots, I see.
this is for free
anything to save the white race
The Mummy single handedly killed a franchise before it started.
Mummy franchise was dead even before that.
good riddance karma for not hiring branden fraser again
>The Mummy single handedly killed a franchise before it started.
It's back. The Mummy official confirmed that they are back with Renfield film next.
With movies like Tom Cruise in them you can't lose!
He's mad a few stinkers but he has the highest good to bad movie ratio out of any living actor. I think DiCaprio might compete.
What movie with DiCaprio in it makes someone want to rewatch it lmao? The fricking Departed?
What's Leo's bad movies? He's probably higher
Romeo and Juliet
All of them suck. Only Tom makes good movies.
Titanic
Revenant
Too many to name

That's dumb, Collateral is probably his best film

Predator
Aliens
Road Warrior
The list goes on and on and on
Top Gun is the best action movie of all time
weird, risky business and his cameo in tropic thunder are the only two things I liked with him
