The original was a full on 80s movie, honestly if you go back and watch Lethal Weapon and the likes you’ll be questioning your childhood!
This’ll be great, i believe Cruise has put a lot of effort into getting this going, and he tends to do entertaining movies, can’t remember the last Tom Cruise film that wasn’t a good watch, ok the mummy was a bit weird, but he does this stuff well.
As for negativity, yes he’s got his quirks, but he seems decent, nobody says anything critical about him, bar that he expects a lot of those on set and isn’t afraid to upset those who are causing issues in production of anything he works on.
