We’re going to go out on a limb here with a crazy hot take. Tom Cruise has made a lot of good movies. We know! Shocking and controversial, but from Top Gun and Rain Man, to Magnolia, Eyes Wide Shut, A Few Good Men, The Color of Money, Jerry Maguire, and many many more, we think it’s warranted.
Cruise turns 62 today, which seems almost as crazy as the above statement. He certainly doesn’t look like a near senior citizen, but maybe that’s because he’s dabbled in so much science fiction. Throughout his career, Cruise has not only made plenty of traditional blockbusters and Oscar fare, but lots of high concept sci-fi too, many of which are fantastic, others of which are not.
Below, we’ve got our ranking of Cruise’s sci-fi/fantasy films, with a few surprises along the way.
8. The Mummy (2017)
Ooo boy. We could write encyclopedias about everything that went wrong with The Mummy and have come close already. But one quick example is that Cruise’s take on the Universal Monsters franchise was to make the movie about himself and not the titular character. A dark universe, indeed.
