Why do you think Tom Cruise is not making any other kinds of movies except action films?

Asked by mazingerz88 (28813points) April 4th, 2021 from iPhone

His last romantic movie that I can recall was Jerry MacGuire in the late 90s. Thanks.

Well he’s old now.

He is compensating for his lack of acting ability. Same as Keanu Reeves.

Also, action movies tend to make more money, and the “church” of scientology wants the moolah.

The leading ladies are all taller than he is, so romantic comedies are out.

They always have been!

He has no talent, and he can get stunt doubles to do the tough stuff.

I stopped watching his stuff when he acknowledged being a Scientologist.

@mazingerz88 Age did not prevent Clint Eastwood from making a poignant,
romantic movie in Bridges of Madison County. Age pfft.

@elbanditoroso Tom Cruise is known for doing his own stunts.

The actor is famous for almost always doing his own stunts, no matter how dangerous. From climbing the world’s tallest building to hanging off the side of a plane to pulling off perhaps one of the most dangerous helicopter chases ever captured on film, Cruise is always finding new ways to top himself.

You may dislike him, think he has no talent and have no respect for his personal choices, but give the guy credit where credit is due. When’s the last time you flew a fighter jet and experienced 8 G’s?

I don’t care for him personally, but his films are usually pretty good. Minority Report and War of the Worlds are his best, probably because Spielberg gets great acting performances from children.
