    Used to be a fan. He’s boring to watch on screen anymore. Same guy in everything and knowing what we know it’s not comfortable to see him

      Yeah, it’s weird.

      I mean he’s a good actor but only because he doesn’t seem human, like there’s something inside him running a program that white knuckles acting.

      He’s always juuuuuuust a hair away from looking absolutely manic in all his roles.

      Add in what we now know about him and it’s hard to understand.

    No one can escape time forever. The guy is 61. He’s got maybe five more years or so of action movies in him before he starts taking more drama roles or roles in action movies with increasingly obvious stunt men.

    Look at Harrison Ford, who’s 81 now. His last role that could plausibly be called an action role was probably Kingdom of the Crystal Skull. He mostly closed the door on action roles in the 2000s, when he was in his 60s, and since then has either had drama or comedy roles or non-action roles in action movies with younger people doing the heavy lifting.

    Note at that age I consider an action role to be one that requires the actor to run on camera.

    This is a quote from Cruise after the release of the first Top Gun: “I want the kids to know that’s not the way war is. That’s why I didn’t go on and make ‘Top Gun II’ and ‘III’ and ‘IV’ and ‘V.’ That would have been irresponsible.”

    So, he’s also a liar.

    Top Gun 3: Flight of the elderly to endlessly fund scientology cultists. Tom Cruise is a fucking horrible actor, too. He can fuck right off.

    Hard Pass and Block OP.

      Can’t wait until the time where someone goes through his movies after he retires and finds tons of scientology propaganda in them.
