As a die-hard movie lover, I can’t help but acknowledge the colossal impact Tom Cruise has had on the action genre. Known for his knack for performing jaw-dropping stunts, he’s left audiences spellbound in movies like the Mission: Impossible series and Top Gun. Despite boasting a vast fanbase that even includes legendary filmmaker Steven Spielberg who praised him for revitalizing the industry, Cruise has his fair share of critics, notably members of the band Oasis. Yet, this didn’t deter him from gracing their recent concert, showing his unwavering passion for music and movies alike. Let’s delve deeper into this intriguing tale.
There seems to be a lot of curiosity surrounding “Mission: Impossible – Final Reckoning,” but fans of Tom Cruise might also wonder about his recent preference for music. According to NME, at the age of 63, the actor made an appearance at Oasis’ first Wembley performance. Notably, pop culture historians will recall that they had some harsh words for him in the past.
The song “Lord Don’t Slow Me Down,” which is part of Oasis’ tour film, showcases the lyrics penned by Noel Gallagher, who candidly expressed his sentiments towards Cruise and his career. In it, he famously stated:
He’s a little fucker, and he’s not been in one good film in his entire career.
It seems that even as fans argue about Tom Cruise’s best roles, the “Champagne Supernova” singer appears to have expressed dissatisfaction with any of them, according to an old comment, made over a decade ago. However, it’s worth noting that opinions can change over time, so Gallagher might have revised his thoughts on Cruise’s performances since then.
As a die-hard movie fan, I recently discovered that I wasn’t alone in my critique of Tom Cruise’s filmography within the band circle. In the same documentary, Liam Gallagher echoed my sentiments, albeit more colorfully. Although he admitted that “Cocktail” was good, he didn’t hold back in expressing his disapproval, stating it quite clearly:
I hate Tom Cruise. Bastard. Him and Michael Owen.
To put it simply, he wasn’t shy about expressing his thoughts. Interestingly, it seems Tom Cruise isn’t harboring any grudge, as he attended the band’s concert last weekend. It could also be that Tom wasn’t aware when the band openly criticized his career in public. After all, music often has a unifying power.
In a striking contrast, the current negative views towards Tom Cruise sharply differ from the favorable opinions he’s been receiving lately as an action star. Previously discussed was the remarkable box office success of “Top Gun: Maverick,” which many believe played a significant role in drawing audiences back to cinemas after the pandemic. Furthermore, his enduring presence in the “Mission: Impossible” series has solidified his position at the pinnacle of the action genre even into his sixties.

Absolutely, every actor has films that didn’t quite hit the mark, and Tom Cruise is no different in this regard. For example, “The Mummy” didn’t manage to launch an entire movie universe as planned. However, it could be pushing it to claim that he hasn’t delivered any notable performances.
It appears that Tom Cruise has several future ventures in store for him, some slated for release as early as 2025 and beyond. Fingers crossed that the members of Oasis have moved past their animosity since it seems that Cruise isn’t planning on leaving the spotlight anytime soon.
