Every Tom Cruise Movie Ranked From Worst To Best

42. Rock Of Ages (2012)

It's tough to figure out why Tom Cruise's performance in Adam Shankman's painfully dull and misguided musical Rock of Ages was so applauded when it came out, but time has proven the film's original supporters wrong.

Cruise's role as arrogant rock star Stacee Jaxx finds the actor noticeably out of his element, trying his damnedest to belt out tunes by Def Leppard and Bon Jovi and lacking any redeeming charm to stop his performance coming across as tacky and hilariously forced.

To be honest, the role is a summary of the entire dismal film, which is nothing short of an embarrassment for everyone involved.
