Why does everything need a sequel? That movie was great all on its own, one of the few standalone sci fi movies made in recent years. Why do we need another? Is advertising a new movie that expensive that the marketing team needs to ride some else's coattails to get results?
Cruise doesn't make bad movies so if they want to do a sequel then I'm all for it.
I thought it had been largely agreed upon that Mr. scientology middle-tooth jump-on-Oprah's-couch serial-abusive-husband ruins everything he touches. I've actively avoided movies he had any involvement with for like two decades now, so I don't have any knowledge of more recent work.... Legend (1985) was pretty good, but Ridley Scot, Tim Curry and Mia Sara carried that film.
You ever heard of the Mission Impossible movies? Those are good.
Maverick was pretty good.
Unfortunate but he does make good action films.
Even his "smaller" projects were good - Jack Reacher, American Made, heck Oblivion was decent despite getting mixed reviews and not a huge moneymaker by Cruise standards.
The way in which and how heavily they were marketed turned me off of every one of them before they hit screens. Honestly, I've never seen a fast and furious film for the same reason. The harder someone tries to sell something, the more I have to wonder why the product can't stand on its own.
I love people who have never seen the F&F movies. Because it starts off as good flashy dumb action that ABSOLUTELY MUST go bigger than last time.
I'm a car guy, I loved them so much. But even I reached a point where I was like "This shit is so fucking dumb" and stopped watching.
I find it interesting as to when people felt the need to tap out.
I am curious. Did you watch Barbie?
Nah. Not yet. Don't know if I will eventually. Definitely not in any hurry to.
Id argue the opposite... kinda.
Its the fact that he makes really excellent movies is the only reason I watch them despite me being very against Scientology. Edge of Tomorrow is one of the best scifi movies of recent times.
