I feel the opposite. I want to hate him so badly, but he’s a good actor. Like I was absolutely furious about his casting in Interview with a Vampire, then he killed it, was gaunt and vampire as hell. He is not good looking to me and seems a shit person, but my goodness he can act.
That, and pretty much every movie he’s in these days are just an ego based adrenalin rush designed by and for himself. All the parts he plays just come off as “Tom Cruise half heartedly pretending to be X”.
I feel that’s old enough not to be in the Tom Cruise produced issue area. In the 2000s, he was in War of the worlds, Collateral, The Last Samurai and even showed he still had range in Magnolia, Vanilla Sky and even Tropic Thunder. It wasn’t quite the same as the 90s where he was cast in a huge range of great roles, and it definitely became less common over the 00s.
I’d say from 2010 onwards, he’s stared in 0 films that don’t feel warped to be an advert for his specific style of masculinity. Even if one was good, Edge of Tomorrow, it’s still a Tom Cruise movie.
Tom Cruise. Enough said.

Doesn’t he basically always play the same person?
Have you seen him young? I could watch Topgun to get myself off to.
He can act. He was good in Legend and great in Interview with a Vampire. Shame he’s a terrible person.
I don’t like Tom Cruise but at this point I don’t even remember why. Is he a shit head?
Scientology
That and making your wives sign a contract waiver (beyond a prenup) is fucked up.

I really like “The Last Samurai” despite Tom Cruise playing Tom Cruise
