Tom Cruise is doing what he does best: scaling buildings, climbing on planes and all of those cuckoo bananas movie stunts that leave us slack-jawed.

At 62 , Cruise is the last of the true movie stars.

While reviews of M:I 8 may call out the “dull and disjointed” plot, the energy that Cruise brings to the supposed final film in the series.

In 2005 , Cruise’s War of the Worlds came out, and the press tour was like an explosion of bad.

Despite the horrible press tour, Cruise 's popularity took a nosedive.

The next year , M:I 3 was elevated to an “entirely new level” with stunts.

Cruise's Q-Rating, which measures a celebrity’s popularity, “cratered 40% after 2005 ,” Schiffer said.

He struggled to get it back up, hindered by bad press around his divorce from Holmes and legal battle against Bauer Media in 2013 .
