'Edge of Tomorrow' was a good Sci-Fi movie that died at the box office because it had Tom Cruise.

Good movie but I watch it more for the *itch of Verdun.

That died at the box office because the marketing was terrible. They advertised it as Groundhog Day with explosions, which just isn’t that interesting. Instead it’s actually a pretty intellectual movie... with explosions.

I liked him in that movie...plus I liked him in Oblivion as well.

I couldn’t watch “Valkyrie”, because I just couldn’t fathom Cruise playing von Stauffenberg.

I liked it very much, and I thought Tom Cruise did a very good job in it.

As a matter of fact, I have been taking another look at Tom Cruise over the last few years. He has starred in quite a few movies that I liked.

"Oblivion" was pretty good. His Jack Reacher movies have been decent. I liked some of his "Mission Impossible" movies.

That being said, I wasn't impressed with "The Mummy", but I don't think He was the problem with it.

Flipping the Mummy from a Male to a Female pissed me off because I saw it as another example of "Political correctness" changing existing storylines for the sake of "diversity."

It had other problems as well.

I have seen Edge of Tomorrow and even though Cruise does a good job in it, I would agree with you. But there are other problems with that movie other than Cruise, the studio just didn't put an effort behind it, and gave it a lousy title.

Cruise did an OK job in that film, with the help of the late, great Bill Paxton.

BUT that movie belonged to the inimitable Emily Blunt ....
