I think every movie with Tom Cruise could be improved by replacing Tom Cruise.
I just watched Edge of Tomorrow. Sort of a bug movie and a computer game . Good movie that made me dislike Tom Cruise even more. What a waste, some other actor could have made that better.
3.5 hobbits but minus .5 for Tom Cruise.
Cocktail & Top Gun got into my brain before I could properly see the problems with them or him. Don’t think I’ve liked him since. Creepy midget 😝
I haven't watched either.
I used to enjoy his movies, but then he just became a bigger and bigger arsehole irl,
and I also started to see how he often just wasn't good
one positive thing is that he's a very conscientious and hard worker
I grant he was good in Tropic Thunder, I think he was playing himself
That tropic thunder cameo was by far his best work
Good call. I would rank A Few Good Men as his best and my fave.
Ah yes. That one is solid. And Nicholson being revolting, he’s very good at that.
I usually don't like Tom Cruise but I would not want anyone else in Top Gun. I think that's also because he was playing himself.
Just read “All You Need is Kill” by Hiroshi Sakurazaka and you can replace Tom with whoever you like.
I loved edge of tomorrow! I reckon like 4.2 hobbits from me
I don’t mind him in action stuff like the Mission Impossibles or Top Gun. Not every movie has to be intellectual or every actor be Oscar worthy. Some movies I watch for easy fun, others I watch for more depth. Tom Cruise is in the first category.
Having read the books, Cruise was a terrible choice for Jack Reacher. I think he's a twat of a man and a passionate actor suited to action, but he's no Jack Reacher.
And Jack Reacher is supposed to be like 7 feet tall!
6'5" in the books, and thick, and can't run for shit. In one book he gets shot with a small calibre gun and he's described as having too big pecs for the bullet to really hurt him.
I'm not a fan but I watched American Made and he was really good in it. Great movie too.
That *was *a good movie. Tom seems very well cast playing people with little moral compass.
