is there an argument that Tom Cruise is the GOAT movie star?

If we’re talking numbers and longevity of being a household name, it’s Tom. Will might be close but idk how close
I ding will because his career was pretty irrelevant for like a decade before BB3 and not seems to be again post slap and during that time Cruise gave us the 3 best MI movies and Edge of Tomorrow.

Between Tom and Will. Tom didn’t slap Chris Rock at the Oscars so I chose Thomas.

Better to reign in Hell than serve in Heaven
he does not have better numbers than Arnold


Thriller still move units


T2
Predator
True lies still moving units
Fast and furious alone does BILLIONS. But let’s say that’s not his franchise. Even though they didn’t do those numbers until he showed up.

Moana did 645
Jummanji did 900 then 800
Bullshyt like sky scraper did 375
Rampage did 430
shyt ass San Andreas did 475
Hell, GI Joe did 375


I’m not even counting things that did their own 200 million. There’s another 5-10 of those. Then probably another 5-10 movies. Breh been starting in movies since scorpion king crap ass movie did 200 million. This don’t even count tv presence


my point is not that his movies are good or his acting his great. My point is The Rock is a movie star and is on those levels. His numbers say so.

Yes. You can make an argument for the Rock, Will Smith and Denzel but Cruise has the longest track record of them all.

I haven't enjoyed Tom Cruise in a single movie. Not one. That's just my opinion, even the few movies of his that I liked, I didn't like him in them.


In our era (talking guys under 75 right now) in terms of movie star it's Pitt, DiCaprio, and Smith. And objectively Cruise can belong there too but I just don't like him.

Tom Cruise has like 3 or 4 facial expressions and he just cycles through them in every movie

overrated as an actor

sociopath as a human being


but at least he does his own stunts and his action flicks hardly use CGI compared to all those shytty fukking video game looking super hero movies

Question that just popped up in my head regarding the Rock.

Since wrestling is scripted should we not count what he did there like a weekly action series?
He had to perform lines. He had to deliver. He had to switch emotions and show range. And he's given us classics there....undeniable classics and undeniable numbers.

Just something to ponder on during this Marijuana filled evening :hubie:

Insignificant posting from an insignificant poster
If it wasn't for Scientology retardation wouldn't even be a question and I couldn't tell you the last Tom Cruise film I watched



Don't care what he does off screen cuz he ain't hurting nobody and i don't know him personally.


He is easilly top 3 and the media doesn't influence me or dictate my decisions like most lemmings.



I'm not here for daps so kiss my fukkin. ass.



TOM CRUISE gang.
