Def. not a movie to be proud of.
xpost Third baby movie was a flop, but he only went three or four years after that before getting Pulp. Yet he had gone eight long years between Blow Out and Look Who's Talking. Just saying, he'd been to the bottom before. Pulp did undoubtedly juice his career; the four years between Pulp and, say, 1998 (when he did Primary Colors and A Civil Action, plus his small role in Thin Red Line) might be his popular/critical/whatever peak. The bigger mystery I guess is why with a few exceptions everything since Battlefield Earth in 2000 has been garbage.
― Josh in Chicago, Thursday, 29 August 2019 22:05 (five years ago)
plus Get Shorty, Phenomenon, Michael, Face/Off the General's Daughter, etc -- all huge box office. Even middling things like Primary Colors or Mad City weren't counted against him.

his first run was huge/iconic, the fall to disaster was striking, the look-whos-talking success is not a dignified one, PF is absolutely the kickstart to a decent run where his early-career cachet and post PF cool see him as A-list undeservedly through mixed roles/performances in mixed movies

presumably during the long, meant-sincerely-by-him production he stopped taking advice from Tarantino and Spielberg about what scripts to take, and started taking more from his clam handlers. more gigs = more tithes.

i think Cruise's misfires are fairly mild, a lot of those flicks recouped their costs and then some. Oblivion did decently, American Made did ok. I think The Mummy was the closest to a disaster but it was more a disappointment than anything. And his successes have been well-received by critics, too. His career isn't adrift without a compass, like Travolta's.

I'll give you American Made (and Rock of Ages isn't a Tom Cruise Film), the rest are maybe misses but definitely not "Oh was he in that?". The Mummy was enormous (as well as an enormous flop)
― Andrew Farrell, Friday, 30 August 2019 17:49 (five years ago)
every major star has some disappointments, but i think as far as it can be measured Tom Cruise is very good at remaining successful and takes decent risks within his own limited territory. I mean he always plays a variation on his persona, occasionally tweaking his image a bit, but always remaining comfortable and in his wheelhouse. That's when Travolta was successful, too.

I'm voting Hairspray, I didn't even know that was Cruise!
Magnolia. Thunder and Magnolia are the only two where he takes his genuine charisma and gift for intensity and uses them to create interesting char repellent assholes.
He's a very efficient movie star lead in all the McQuarries, and Live Die Repeat is the best story of any of them, but I don't see that he's bringing anything especially individual to it. (vs the Missions Impossible, where his stunt work makes those scenes far more compelling.)
