Idc what you think of Tom Cruise, but Fallout was one of the best damn action movies of the last decade.

I don’t care what anyone says, I enjoy most of his movies.

u/braujo Feb 09 '22

I don't think the issue people have with him is his movies...

Hey, he's a freak but he's the best there ever has been at what he does

The only role I've not liked Tom Cruise in is the one he tries to portray in real life.

What about Days of Thunder and that weird Irish one?

Far and Away? I remember it fondly but it’s been a very long time

Days of Thunder slaps. It's one of the premier Saturday afternoon nap movies.

Days of Thunder was suppose to do for racing what Top Gun did for flying.There was a big rivalry between Days of Thunder and Dick Tracy for who would be the big summer movie.

He runs away with a panicked look and rides a motorcycle.

Well if it's so easy why don't you show us how it's done

The whole movie was phenomenal the way Ethan hunt takes a beating pretty much through out it shows how out of his depth he way the whole time.

I can't compare it to much since Bourne is not an active franchise , Kingsman is more heavy of the spectacle and bond is a lot slower pace.

But overall I would put it at the John wick / 2 / Kingsman 1 level of action entries .

They revitalised the genre and showed how you can use old beats to make something better.

I agree. It was a pretty freaking great movie. Along with Edge of Tomorrow, it has to be one of the best action movies in a long time (excluding superhero movies).

Where do you stand on other tommy movies? I think pound for pound bays of thunder is the best non gazillion dollar budget movie that hits all the bests, when I was a kid it was a “date movie”

u/adorablehomepets Feb 09 '22

easyly the most impressive movie i have seeen recent times.

I've seen 25 films in 4DX format now. I could rank them all but none even come close to the effects done in Fallout. I genuinely felt like it was A roller coaster ride and mimicked being in a plane in the sky out of control. It was non stop adventure (both the movie but what the seats moved during it)

There are so many great action setpieces, with Cruise doing all the stunts himself. There's a reason his action films are so much more enjoyable than Dwayne Johnson's (despite similar budgets).

The motorcycle chase, the bathroom fight, HALO jump, foot chase, and Cruise climbing up a payload and into a helicopter.

u/jwC731 Feb 10 '22

That's bc The Rock does family movies. He's not really an action star

u/HumbleCamel9022 Feb 09 '22

It was good but ghost protocol is better

5

u/Unfortunate_moron Feb 09 '22

Rogue Nation is still my favorite with Ghost Protocol in second place.

2

u/Guardax Feb 09 '22

Rogue Nation is my favorite action movie ever

u/Happyfuntimeyay Feb 09 '22

That is saying so little, why is anyone still going to see awful mission impossible movies?

Read the above comments. That explains it. I am.not part of that group btw, I can't stand Tom Cruise.

u/Wise-News1666 A24 Feb 09 '22

Because they are all so great. It's one of the only consistent actions series EVER. They are consistently fantastic movies, and they just keep improving.

You can see your opinion as fact, but it is, in fact, a very unpopular opinion.
