Cruise is an oddball for sure but may be one of this generation's greatest actors. I admit it's hard to separate personal beliefs and acting ability/marketability. In this information age and everything readily available on your phone, it's easy to get the wrong impression of someone if you only are exposed to the negatives. I personally find him supremely talented.
I have a similar outlook for Clooney. It's hard for me to look past his absolute bonehead political views and comments, but I sincerely adore the Ocean's series of films. I make it a point to avoid his other work, though I can still recognize his ability.
I don't see how a Top Gun 2 can be successful. The first is perfect as is and doesn't need a follow-up. The participation of Cruise will have little impact outside of curiosity.

I almost had a psychic girlfriend but she dumped me before we met.
If anyone here believes in psychokinesis, please raise my hand.
He gets a bad rap sometimes because of his personal beliefs and his off screen behavior, but the guy is a solid, SOLID actor. Always has been. "Risky Business", "Rain Man", "Legend", "Magnolia", "Eyes Wide Shut", just to name a few... He's really amazing.
Top Gun rules even harder... Kilmer, Tom Skerrit, Anthony Edwards, Michael Ironside... C'mon.
I'm not a big sequel or remake guy, but I can't WAIT for this.
Yeah he does! "Losing It", "Risky Business", "Rain Man", "Born on the Fourth of July", "Interview with a Vampire", "Cocktail", "The Outsiders" , "The Color of Money", "Jerry Maguire".....ALL favorites! (Cocktail and Rain Man being #1 and 2)
Think OUTSIDE the Box! For the BEST in Repro & Custom Packaging!
I personally don't give a hoot what religion he follows or doesn't follow...Tom Cruise could be Christian, Muslin, Buddhist, Hindu, atheist, agnostic, etc...it doesn't make a bit of difference to me...all I know is that I enjoy his movies...and that he's a very underrated actor.
