    I’m not a huge fan of Tom Cruise and also never watched the MI franchise, but otherwise he knows how to pick good scripts… Last Samurai, Vanilla Sky, Tropic Thunder, Minority Report, Top Gun, Rain man, Edge of Tomorrow, The Firm. There are still a bunch I never saw so there may be some rotten tomatoes in the basket

      He DOES have some bad movies, but not many. I really don’t like the guy either, but I like a lot of his movies. You forgot Oblivion and Jerry Maguire for instance.

      Agree he had a very high hit rate, and personal life aside, I enjoy most of his movies.

      But MI:2 and MI:3 are mediocre at best, and Knight and Day and Rock of Ages were massive flops (I haven’t seen either, but i they look horrible). Cocktail earned him a razzie nomination.

        Don’t forget The Mummy remake, it was so bad they cancelled the Dark Universe because of it.

        ““Kurtzman called the experience “brutal” and described The Mummy as “probably the biggest failure” of his life.””

        Knight and Day is 100% forgettable straight to streaming crap.

        But Rock of Ages was as good as it could’ve been
