Excessive posting? ... Interesting.....

He's one of those actors who essentially plays himself in every role, and when he tries to create an actual character that's different from himself it becomes obvious he can't act.

Oh, and at this point the new movie will be called Top Gun: Maverick and seems to be more sequel than remake. It will once again star Cruise, but this time he'll allegedly be playing an instructor like Tom Skerrit's "Viper" in the original.

Seriously, guys. Felt compelled to offer something up to get you fired up to see this sequel. Come on, it was almost as good as "Days of Thunder".

Ha!

More interesting/qualified female character that basically does nothing through the whole movie but be the "reward" at the end for the useless "hero". Check.

Oh, and bonus points to dude writer/directors if she prances around in a bikini at some point.

Was a kid in the 80's. Don't remember women doing that. Especially in my neighborhood.

I saw it with my parents in the theatre. I was a kid too, age 12. I thought it was super cool, but I was a 12 year old boy.

Watched it years later and wondered what I even saw in that film. Boys and their toys [emoji14]

And let's add into the fact that every once in awhile Hollywood gets it really wrong and tries to force an actor or actress on us as if he or she is really good looking and talented when he or she is neither. I have never understood the casting of Kelly McGillis in "Top Gun." There were better looking girls and better actresses in my high school's drama club.

And better than Tom Cruise. Yet they keep putting him in every movie to this day. Sorry Tom Cruise fans. Well, not really.

Two thoughts - cool, you and my girlfriend agree on McGillis as, I've found, it's usually just a guys-don't-like-her thing and, two, I'm no Cruise fan (I agree with Zombie_61 above who said that Cruise either plays himself or shows he can't act), but his movies, overall, have made Hollywood a lot of money, so they'll keep putting him up there as long as they do.

Is that like they say about lawyers defending themselves? They have a fool for a client. Tom hasn't realized he's directing/producing an idiot.

So, basically, he's paying people off to go see his own movies? How did we get here?

So is Tom Cruise actually losing his own money making movies just so that he can star in them?
