Say what you want about Cruise's personal life, but that little bastard knows how to make an entertaining movie.

Try to name a bad film in which Cruise was one of the two main actors. And by "bad" I don't mean simply "below average." I mean "a steaming pile of shit."

Also he's an A lister worth half a billion dollars and yet he's still a hard worker.  Like the training he did for 'Collateral.' He could have skipped it and gotten paid the same, but he did it anyway.

Here is something you should know about every character that Tom Cruise plays.

His character is the best. The best at everything. No incompetencies, no questions, no self-doubt. He is always the best.

I blame Scientology.

how many tom cruise movies have you actually seen?  almost every movie he makes is about 1: overcoming self-doubt, 2: not quitting, 3: overcoming selfishness, or a combination of these themes.

top gun: cocky, but pathologically insecure

the color of money: cocky, but pathologically insecure

days of thunder: cocky, but pathologically insecure.  

rain man:  callow, arrogant, and selfish

a few good men:  callow, arrogant, and selfish

minority report: originally cocky, but spends the entire movie finding out that he was wrong about everything

the last samurai: originally arrogant, but spends the entire movie finding out that he was wrong about everything

oblivion: spends the entire movie figuring out he was wrong about everything

edge of tomorrow: selfish and cowardly.

war of the worlds: selfish and incompetent

i mean yeah--he's the best at something in many of his movies.  i suspect that's because he's a capitalist, and those kinds of movies make a shitload of money.  but with a few exceptions (jack reacher, knight and day, etc.), the message of his movies is that talent by itself is worth nothing.

When Tom Cruise was practicing for the Last Samurai:



This was practice off set like in a dojo...They say his forearms got so big that he couldn't fit his arms through his suit jackets/sport coats.

I find that kind of dedication impressive.

I see your point but Cruise is no Wayne, Eastwood or Bogart. He just isn't.

Even when those guys were playing themselves you didn't see ACTING!

Like I said, I enjoy his movies. I just have to put aside the whole ACTING! thing.

eh--just a subjective thing, i guess.  i don't see 'acting' at all when i watch cruise movies.  he's a dweeby slimeball in edge of tomorrow, which is nothing like his characters in oblivion or magnolia, but he comes across as effortlessly natural in all those roles (at least to me).

I thought he did a bang up job in Valkyrie, and I'm not much of a  Cruise fan.  It's the best movie he's done, IMO, but I haven't seen them all.

My opinion of T.C. has changed a lot over the years.  I consider him to pretty much be the best actor out there making films today...What defines it for me is when I see his movies I actually see the guy he is playing on screen, I don't see Tom Cruise playing a role.

He also seems like a stand up guy based on his reaction to this video...

He's clearly insane with the scientology.  

That Siri girl is certainly not his progeny. He treats his beards like shit.

I mostly agree. Except for The Searchers. That was his best acting in my opinion.

But even when those guys were just playing themselves it was more natural than Cruise and his "look at me act" stuff.
