This. Its not like Collateral had a surprise Scientology endning or something.I don't get the Cruise hate. He puts out good to great movies on a consistent basis. He is also an underrated actor. We need more actors like him. And he could worship by swimming in a pool of goats blood, doesn't have anything to do with the movie I'm watching.
Is Jet Li too short to be an action hero?I like Tom Cruise, but nearly everything he does is big budget action movie. And I have a hard time believing that a guy who is 5'2" is an action hero.
100% agree. I think his movies are almost always pretty damn good. For what it's worth, I didn't think Knight & Day was that bad. It could have been terrible (ie, the Ashton Kutcher and the no charisma bitch from Grey's Anatomy). The Last Samurai was fantastic. It's tom fucking cruise man!ah time for the Tom Cruise debate again
I like him, I also understand why people hate him, he's very easy to hate. His filmography is really A+ though and up until the last few years if he was in it, it was almost worth seeing. Even going back over the last ten years the only terrible films appear to be Knight & Day and Rock of Ages (which I didn't see). He's a very good actor when he needs to be though, I think the big complaint should be that he takes too many roles that don't demand a lot out of his acting chops because he's normally some over confident cool guy, but they're definitely there when he needs 'em (see: magnolia, vanilla sky, 4th of july, etc)
^When I saw the trailer for Last Samurai I laughed because Tom Cruise as a Samurai sounded so ridiculous. After I saw the movie it is now one of my favorites. It's such a great movie.
What in god's name is wrong with you boy? Vanilla Sky is great.Yeah, I could do without Eyes wide Shut, Vanilla Sky, Knight and Day and Last Samuri. Yet even in these movies he did a solid job and it wasn't his acting that was the problem for me.
Agreed. Vanilla Sky is one of my favorite "mind fuck" style movies ever.What in god's name is wrong with you boy? Vanilla Sky is great.
I'd still hit it.No, the big plot mystery is who the once-friendly but now turned-enemy hot chickreallyis. I'm calling it now. Robot tranny.
