I don't know. Part of the appeal of Tom Cruise doing it for real is that you know it's real. They emphasize that in the behind the scenes materials. The experience is vastly different to mostly-CGI movies like Marvel.
- noduerme 4y agoAgreed; watching Marvel movies these days feels like watching someone else play a video game. Less interesting, actually.
- krapp 4y agoBut the Marvel movies make more money and sell more merchandise, which is really all that matters.
- VanTheBrand 4y agoDon’t be so sure! Top Gun Maverick made more money than any marvel movie last year.
- krapp 4y agoTIL they made a sequel to Top Gun...
- ggambetta 4y agoToday? Go watch it, it might still be in cinemas, it's a fantastic movie. (Disclaimer: I'm a big fan of Tom Cruise's movies, especially the Mission:Impossible franchise)
- CuriouslyC 4y agoThey also didn't field a marquee marvel title, and people are suffering a bit from marvel fatigue at any rate.
- polygamous_bat 4y agoYes, but I am sure Marvel made it up in volume. There are only so many Tom Cruises on bikes to go around, while Marvel is pumping out something every other week.
- dmonitor 4y agoYep. They absolutely could have done that stunt for much much cheaper by using a stand in. Tom Cruise does his own stunts because its marketing for the movie, and he enjoys it
- raverbashing 4y agoYeah. It feels overdone because it can all be CGI so just go crazy with it. Sure, it's a fantasy movie, but at a certain point it feels too much (they're not the only ones guilty on that, obviously)
