  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.

      I usually don’t like Tom Cruise but I would not want anyone else in Top Gun.

  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.

  Just read “All You Need is Kill” by Hiroshi Sakurazaka and you can replace Tom with whoever you like.

  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.
