Millionaire both put it, we see Tom Cruise on the screen and not the character he's supposed to be portraying. (I have the same problem with Tom Hanks, as likable as he is... I can <b>see</b> him acting!) <br /><br />That said, that bit part he played in Tropic Thunder did surprise the hell out of me. I didn't think he had it in him. Maybe there's hope for him and he can be saved from himself and that thuggish cult he's neck-deep in.Mangohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04247392048527757544noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-37309174.post-38447224608120050002010-02-11T13:21:05.587-08:002010-02-11T13:21:05.587-08:00he's a very decent actor and even very very go...he's a very decent actor and even very very good in some movies("magnolia","born in 4th july","jerry mcguire" or "tropic thunder") so if the movie is good, i will see the movie!!FrenchGirlhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04984690899855445836noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-37309174.post-67912928778490923352010-02-11T02:21:34.290-08:002010-02-11T02:21:34.290-08:00*so sue me*.... please don't *sure* me.*so sue me*.... please don't *sure* me.LauPowhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17910957590753315291noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-37309174.post-21994982891430050492010-02-11T02:20:21.192-08:002010-02-11T02:20:21.192-08:00I personally enjoyed the last Mission Impossible f...I personally enjoyed the last Mission Impossible film. They surrounded him with great, talented, likable actors (and Jonathan Rhys-Meyers, can't win 'em all) and had a good mix of action, drama, and humour (a lot of it from Tom himself). <br /><br />I liked it, so sure me. <br /><br />If the same team are on board (especially Michelle Monanghan; Ethan needs a consistent love interest for me to care) then why the hell shouldn't they make another one. If you don't want to see it then, um, don't go.<br /><br />Now I'm not arguing that he isn't an egomaniacal, SP-bothering, Zenu-bumming, tiny, little wack-job. But he's a good enough actor that I can just about manage to see past it.LauPowhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17910957590753315291noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-37309174.post-64109955298062708912010-02-10T16:08:56.773-08:002010-02-10T16:08:56.773-08:00Tom Cruise is one of the actors in Hollywood who f...Tom Cruise is one of the actors in Hollywood who fit into a niche (along with Natalie Portman, Keanu Reeves,etc.) whose billing for each new film should read, "Tom Cruise IS Tom Cruise in...Mission Impossible 4," or whatever. They really just play themselves over and over. How about using unknown actors for every new movie to keep the sense of reality authentic? They'd seem more real that way, somehow.Robert https://www.blogger.com/profile/13782203524379534053noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-37309174.post-40760113256271890252010-02-10T14:37:02.757-08:002010-02-10T14:37:02.757-08:00Haven't ever been a fan.

We've grown up. We've gotten a little older and a little wiser. <br /><br />I'm not the same 13 year old school girl I was when Top Gun came out. My adolescent eyes thought you were magnificent. But I grew up, and have come to realize that entire movie must have been filmed with you standing on, and in some scenes like the cockpit ones, sitting on a milk crate.<br />Between that revelation, your bat shit crazy behavior, and your robobride, the bubble has burst, and the dream is dead. It's time to pick up what little dignity and sanity you possess, and quietly fade out.MommaBearhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04067039520403676042noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-37309174.post-13857884836534632172010-02-10T11:27:21.478-08:002010-02-10T11:27:21.478-08:00I used to like Tom's movies but they just all ...I used to like Tom's movies but they just all seem to be the same character.

I feel Cruise has destroyed the true team dynamic of the tv series. He made it somehow all about him.<br /><br />In the tv show, it seemed like every week, they had a different team member take lead in a mission. Everyone was an equal.<br /><br />Basically, what I am getting at is that I wish Cruise didn't piggyback off the name/show. The MI movies are just full of stupid dialogue and even lamer cgi.Mr.Yardeedshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03501460231261532281noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-37309174.post-67229097094114784552010-02-10T11:13:47.582-08:002010-02-10T11:13:47.582-08:00He's going the way of Steven Segal, and I sure...He's going the way of Steven Segal, and I sure am enjoying it.tallulah bhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15446763359098955103noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-37309174.post-49357508697873800132010-02-10T10:56:48.460-08:002010-02-10T10:56:48.460-08:00Vanessa, unfortunately, with the way the media is ...Vanessa, unfortunately, with the way the media is in this age, it is hard to separate stars on screen characters from their off screen "character". We know too much about them - we've exposed "the man behind the curtain" and once that happens that's all you see.<br /><br />That said, I think that since Jerry McGuire when he got SO deep into Scieno and started moving up, and putting his choreographed life so "out there", etc. that his acting has been affected. Just not charming like he used to be - as he ages, that charm has become smarm. He looks like he's either trying too hard or depending on his former charm to phone it in. That's all IMHO, of course. Others may have a better explanation for you.Melissahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16703783712063396047noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-37309174.post-36929370782511789512010-02-10T10:47:58.597-08:002010-02-10T10:47:58.597-08:00@Figgy

John seems like a genuinely nice person who got roped in for what seemed to him the "right" reasons. Tom seems completely devoid of character - sucked dry and filled with their BS and complicit. He is aware of ALL of the supposedly underhanded and scary things that go on because of his close relationship with Miscaviage. If not, he's a brainless idiot, which I haven't ruled out. John acts like a normal human. Tom acts like a freaky robot. This doesn't excuse John for bringing a plane load of "touch" to Haiti, but I think he truly believes he's helping. Tom, on the other hand, would know exactly what propaganda he was doling out if he did the same thing. As for Tom's acting, he USED to be pretty good - now he seems to phone it in - from whatever planet he's from. I can't watch him anymore and his preening and platforms.
