Tropic Thunder was funny. How can you say his part was bad? All he did was yell and swear the entire time.

He was flat out awesome in Tropic Thunder...

Besides... when has his career ever been in danger of flagging?

QFT.

He played a great Jew in that movie,.... almost better than Ari Gold.

Went and seen it tonight. I was pleasantly surprised, it was a really good movie. Great story and apparently based on actual events. Good acting and there are some big name guys in it as well. Cruise did a did good job playing the part. Solid B+

I like Tom Cruise...He's a good actor.

The Color of Money?

 

[Deeko]

I saw a screening of this awhile ago. It was good.

 

[Vehemence]

Good movie :thumbsup:

That's what I was thinking. Best character in the movie.

Most good actors are nut jobs in real life. Jack Nicholson, Johnny Depp, Tom Cruise, and so forth.

He's an entertaining actor, but I wouldn't call him a great actor. He basically plays every part the same.

It's an ok movie. In all honestly I was really bugged with the different accents all the german characters had. I was hoping I'd get a lot more nasty german voices rather than some poncy british and american accents.

Agreed, outside of Tropic Thunder every single one of his characters is the same. Cocky, gruff, know-it-all punk who at some point in the movie has something to soften his BS outer shell he puts on.

or cement him more of a washup, like Kevin Kosner

Washup. I mean seriously, he is about the whitest white bread actor you can find, he plays a German character, and can't even be bothered to attempt to fake a german accent. In a word, he SUCKS.

Robert Downey Jr Pwns Cruise.

 

[PokerGuy]

I'm guessing it will be a terrible movie. I like some of Cruise's early stuff, but lately it's been garbage. He jumped the shark a long time ago.

 

[zinfamous]

Comeback from what?

he's always sucked balls. terrible, terrible actor (not even considering his personal life in this)

 

[HardcoreRobot]

movie was much better than i was expecting
typical cruise

 

[bwatson283]

I heard there was no action scenes, it was all plotting. blah!

Willing to see it. I know he is a wacko. But like said earlier, I try my best to separate his religion and his work. My only huge gripe is his barring of Katie Holmes to reprise her role in Dark Knight.

 

[irishScott]

He's always been a decent actor. Had his highs and lows, but decent overall. The only reason he's as popular as he is is adolescent females.

 

[Joemonkey]

i probably won't see it for the same reason i never saw titanic or the passion of the christ

 

[CRXican]

can't take him that serious

 

[AbAbber2k]

MI:2 and War of the Worlds are like the only movies of his I didn't really like. Collateral, MI/:3, Last Samurai, Minority Report, A Few Good Men, Far and Away, Rain Man, Top Gun... all good movies IMHO... several others that are worth watching at least once like his older stuff.

Edit: And as much of a nutjob as he might be... he fucking stole the show in Tropic Thunder (well almost).
