Real talk, is Mission: Impossible the only current franchise left that there's any guarantee of quality for?
(We'll give them a mulligan for M:I 2 given that it was two decades ago.)
I would say I haven't been disappointed by any John Wicks so far either, but those two are a short list....

Tom cruise is just the single most consistent actor when it comes to putting out quality big budget movies.

He always has been. Look at Days of Thunder. It's a corny idea, but damn is it entertaining. Edge of Tomorrow? Sign me the fuck up for #2! Maybe not The Mummy, but I didn't actually watch that one. Shit, even Magnolia. He's a home run.
The entire catalogue of "leading man" movies. Which was all but the very first one he made back in '81. I don't count the cameo ones like Austin Powers or Tropic Thunder, even though he was awesome in those, but still. Holy shit, he's incredible.

Mission Impossible VI - His "last" movie until the new Top Gun, and that was 2018. Covid did a number. And he's aged quite a bit lately.

10000000% agree. Almost every one of those movies is fantastic. A few were fine but I don’t care to ever see again (War of the Worlds).
Have tickets for Too Gun tomorrow, can’t wait.
Love me some Days of Thunder. What a great name. I remember leaving the theater and thinking the Mellow Yellow car was the coolest thing ever.

Even Oblivion was meh
which really only leaves us with MI movies, Edge of Tomorrow and Top Gun as anything good he's done in the last decade

I don't agree with you on the first Jack Reacher. And honestly, Knight and Day was great for what it was. I know it was set up like a romcom type of movie, but it was surprisingly good. I really wasn't expecting anything with it, but it kept my attention.

Knight and Day was “fine.” It’s not a turd and it’s not great, it’s just fine. I think Ashton K had a similar movie come out around the same time, and it was total dog shit.

So after thinking about the "new" addition to the franchise, I've decided to go back and re-watch the current 6 movies. I'm doing 1 per week, and I just finished #2. So yeah, I have a month to go.
The first movie really want very good. I see it was made when Tom was around 34 years old. Out was released in '96 (26 years ago), and he's currently 59. Figure out was filmed in '95... time flies. Anyway, first movie was weak. They made some interesting plot points, but they didn't really want to invest much into the cost, not knowing if it would do well or not. And Tom comes off very young. And his act is to smile seductively in every scene.
The 2nd movie was substantially better, but still not perfect. They spent more time developing it. The black chick from Westwood looked amazing. The intro and middle of the movie were very enjoyable, but then they screwed the ending but suddenly making him a super hero that never misses a shot and does some stupid motorcycle tricks.
Oh well. I remember PSH from the 3rd, so I'm looking forward to watching that next week.
She's delicious.

Whoa, the first one is an absolute classic. Great tension and Cruise intensity throughout. Kittredge was an underrated character and I'm so glad he's going to be back.
The second one was way too full of itself. Over the top Woo filmmaking. It works better as a comedy to me. Newton was smoking, though.

Tom Cruise is the perfect example of how I want to view "Celebrities". There's all this
talk about how bat-shit crazy he is in "real life", and I don't give a single fuck. I don't
need to know, I don't want to know, just keep making awesome movies so all I need
to know about you is what you're doing on the big screen.
Also, I fucking loved Knight and Day. it may have been silly as fuck, but the gag
definitely came out of nowhere. "Don't worry, I've got this." Back to sleep.
That shit was fun. Also, he's 60 this year. I wish I could pull off the physical stuff
he's doing.
