Movies As an actor is Tom Cruise overrated, underrated or as advertised?

I never really watched any movies with him in it. What is his best role? I seen one of the Mission Impossible, The Mummy and that movie where he put on that fat suit.

Top Gun 2

Collateral
Last Samurai
The Colour of Money
Jerry Maguire

They made a new version a few years back.

Shit I totally didn't even notice he made one. lol It's a forgettable film I take it.

 

[Berserker13]

majority of the films he made are rated 7/10 plus

almost never made a bad one

 

[JoeyJoeJoeJr]

He makes good movies, and he's definitely a decent actor.

He's as advertised.

 

[Natural Order]

In a lot of cases I'd say underrated. His name has become synonymous with blockbuster movies and sometimes his performance gets overshadowed by the hype and full experience.

I am also taller than Tom

Everyone is taller than Tom

 

[nostradumbass]

Risky Business..Born on the Fourth of July..Top Guns..The Outsiders he did awesome in and lets not forget one of his best roles in Tropic Thunder.

He's mainy concentrating on being an entertainer - and there is nothing wrong with that. He's easily the best of his generation with a good chance of being the greatest of all time at that.

And when he wants get involved in a more acting heavy project, he can do good roles. And Tropic Thunder showed he has tremendous range.

Personally Wes Grossman is my favorite Tom Cruise character.

That movie is ridiculous and that was icing on a delicious cake.

 

[NoSmilez]

I don't think he was in The Mummy.

He is in the reboot. I watched it a few times. I tried watching it before bed. I kept on falling asleep. It took a few tries but I finished it.

 

[Berserker13]

is Tropic Thunder one of his best roles?

 

[Bagatur]

I think he is a very good actor, but he is underrated due to his Scientology stuff.

I didn't mind it, but if memory serves, it was so poorly received that it singlke handedly killed a monster universe they were going to create

 

[Berserker13]

I'm 1/8 or 1/16 th spanish

 

[Berserker13]

as soon as i get one girl interested 500 more follow behind

He’s a very good actor and the greatest movie star of all time. I can’t think of anyone else who even comes close to consistently making good films in a lead role for four decades. Most actors only maintain that level for a decade or two if they are truly exceptional before they start to fade into supporting roles or completely disappear.
