I don't think there is a single Tom Cruise movie I haven't enjoyed. Really not an issue with me of what he does in his personal life.

Unless an actor pulls an OJ Simpson or something like that, I don't see how what they do in their real life should affect the viewing experience. Being unable to separate actor from role would seem to be a problem with said viewer, not the actor. Arnold Schwarzenegger and Keanu Reeves aren't exactly great actors, but for the two hours in question I accept them in their roles because it's called ACTING.

really wanted to go to this last night.No preview screening. Now have to wait till sunday night.Whats with the hype about faults in the stars? I saw the trailer you couldn't pay me to sit through a movie about people with cancer. tTo depressing. Been through that enough in real life.

The best showcase for Tom Cruise since Magnolia.

I suspect many will have reservations about the ending but I think it was earned and deserved and that final shot is perfect.

The advertising for this film would have led you to suspect it would be a soulless sci-fi explosion fest but it's very much the antithesis. The action is there and it delivers but it's also purposeful and full of exposition. This film is full of soul, levity and character moments in nearly every situation. Christopher McQuarrie is on quite a screenwriting hot streak.

Groundhog Day meets Aliens is simplistic but apt although I think this film more than stands on it's own two legs.

Loved it and I'll be seeing it again very soon. (*bang*)

I'm struggling to think of a Tom Cruise movie I have enjoyed.

e: Okay, maybe Eyes Wide Shut, but that's because it's Kubrick.

Big built-in fanbase with the book and author.

Mission: Impossible? War of the Worlds? Minority Report? Jack Reacher? TOP GUN?

I wish i knew, i just know he was credited as Col. Walter Marx in the movie.. I will be looking out for the name this time around

jamesdevil · 06-06-2014, 07:58 PM

Yeah, definitely had no clue he was even credited. Weird. I'm probably going back Sunday so I too will be looking for him.

He was cut out of the movie altogether. He's not in it anymore.
