Tom Cruise? NO!!

ok so maybe he is not good in many films, he is not my "cup of tea" as an actor, but i have to say that he was awsome in magnoila as much as i dislike him.
 
i used to be young and deluded and loved his earlier stuff . When he did Vanilla Sky and all the stuff thereafter I really felt disappointed. He is so self-gratifying and over the top as an actor - i think that dog has had his day :sleep:
 
He's got better as he's got older.

I can take him more seriously now, whereas before he always looked as if he was still in High School and he just seemed to be a vacuous pin-up (Top Gun, Cocktail etc.)

I liked him alot in Minority Report and Vanilla Sky.
 
IMO, he's not that bad, I thought he was great in Mission Impossible, The Last Samurai, Magnolia, Minority Report and Collateral.

He's quite versatile.
 
One of the few actors who have had a roughly stable career at the top of the box office for many years. Chooses his roles nowadays well, is undeniably a great actor (peoples opinions on certain films don't take away from this). The whole Scientology thing has got a lot of people sick of him, which is the main reason why people are going off him. If it wasnt for this I can't see any reason to go against any of his recent films.

Also MI:3's gonna be huge

I can't stand him, but credit where it's due
The Last Samurai wasn't a bad movie and he was ok in Magnolia. Ridley Scotts Legend was good as well, but he(Cruise) sure was an ugly F***** when he was a kid
 
I personally have this unexplainable dislike on the man, to the point where I can't go and see a film if he is in it. I think MI:2 and War of the WorlRAB were the exceptions to the rule, but they were both awful. Perhaps not his direct fault, but it doesn't help....
 
Yeh I feel exactly the same.
I can't stand his smug, short, lets-face-it UGLY face. Or his morals. Or his voice. And i can't bring myself to watch anything with hom in it at all. Seriously. My Oh doesn't mind him but i honestly just can't look at him. Inteview with the vampire was the only film i liked with him in it - and that was way before i developed this irrational hatred for him (plus also i love christian slater!)
Anyway in conclusion i don't like him to the point where im not even going to say his name.... :mad:
 
Think hes a wicked actor. Very underrated imo - because he choose movies and director with big budgets people assume they'll be rubbish and generally stick to that theory. He is very versatile and has played a variety of characters - mainly "nice guys" but he's a leading man and most leading men do only play good guy characters. His best roles to date imo are

Interview With The Vampire
Last Samurai
Risky Business
Collaterol
Jerry Maguire
Magnolia
Born On The 4th July
Rain Man
 
I don't mind his acting - it's him that annoys me! If acting can mask that arrogance for even a second then all the better!

Can't stand him recently! His over-the-topness on the whole Katie deal is nothing short of terrifying! As is his sheer refusal to accept anyone else's views on anything. E.g. the Brooke ShielRAB thing! Don't even get me started! The man wouldn't know a debate if he fell over one!

*Goes off into the corner to vent fury...*
 
A stark contrast to Drew Barrymore isn't it? With Drew, her sweet personality radiates from the screen in every movie she is in and it's hard not to like her.

Although Cruise doesn't have the personality, and his roles are usually 'Tom Cruise', he does sometimes give decent performances, like the ones in Collateral...
