Tom Cruise: The Last Movie Star

Regardless of what we all think about Tom, we can't deny the fact that he has done many amazing movies. The movies that he has done have been extraordinary.

This documentary was nice to see. But it didn't really tell me anything new, that I already didn't know about Tom.

I'm a huge fan of his work, and I think I have seen 99% of his movies.

All these people in this documentary saying how amazing Tom is, and how incredible his work is, is what we all think. Nothing new here.

The man is 61 years old and still going strong. Still making these insane/intense movies with tons of energy. The energy that some folks younger than him don't even have.

He has such dedication to his craft that it's insane. He is such a perfectionist and that perfectionist makes him create these incredible movies. We see the details in his movies, made in the most perfect way.

The work ethic, dedication, and hard work he puts into his movies are incredible.

But 100% he isn't the last movie star though, he is ONE OF the last ones.

Anyhow this documentary wasn't really WOW or it didn't really show us anything new. But it was nice seeing though. Nice seeing a history of his work. But no one can deny though that his work has been incredible. He has an impressive resume for sure!

When the time comes, when Tom Cruise no longer does these Mission Impossible movies, it will be a sad sad sad day. The same way when Daniel Craig stopped making those James Bond movies.

Should you see this documentary? If you are bored and have nothing else to do, sure.

NOT authorized by Tom Cruise himself. Mind you, this is simply a cheap rip off with a few old scenes of movies and LOTS of complete UNKNOWN NOBODIES talking about Tom Cruise his carreer AS IF these clowns would know anything we couldnt google on the internet.

Another example of smart marketting, because unfortunately a small percentage of fans MIGHT think that this is actually worth paying for. BEWARE: this is utter rubbish.

Better watch any other Tom Cruise movie or simply google for any interview with Tom Cruise himself it will be more rewarding and interesting than watching this dribble called a "documentary".

Tom Cruise himself does not participate directly, this uses clips from most of his movies, essentially in chronological order, to illustrate the points being made here. It also includes many clips of Cruise in such situations as publicity appearances or behind the scenes during movie-making. Looking at the entire list of his movies since 1981, I realize I have watched almost all of them.

To me the title poses a question, not an answer, "Is Cruise the last movie star?" It is strongly suggested that he might be if you consider his career arc over 40+ years and that even in his late 50s and early 60s is still making action movies and doing his own stunts. And his blockbusters seem to be making more and more money than ever.

It touches on his involvement with Scientology, but only briefly and to point out that his avoiding discussion of it is probably better for his career.

I watched this at home, streaming on Prime. For me, a movie fan in general, I found it totally interesting and worthwhile viewing. Regardless of what one thinks of Cruise as a person, he is probably the hardest worker in the business and his movies are the better for it.
