Yeah he is indeed better than lots of the younger stars now featured on the big screen.

Haha. Yea, I know, but then I went back and read what I wrote, and I was like, "KC, you know Cruise is a solid actor, but great?", hence my minor retraction.

He's cranked out some turds, no question, but the guy was killing it in the '80s and '90s. And, as another poster pointed out, Legend is fucking awesome, so that gives him an automatic pass.

I'm so excited for this movie. I loved the first trailer with the Eminem song and this one was pretty OK, too.

This and Dragon Tattoo are all I'm looking forward for the rest of the year.

I think Tom is a good actor. Just one with little range. You see him as Tom Cruise in every role he does. Kinda like Julia Roberts. They are more personalities than Actors.

Like "A Few Good Men"? ;)

Like that other poster who said they can't watch Kevin Costner movies because he always plays Kevin Costner, that's how I feel about Cruise.

You can't handle the truth sounds like a good name for a rom-com

5 reviews on RT. All sounds very positive.

No, the Playlist review just barely gives it a passing grade and the guy calls it "disappointing".

I think reviews will be okay, but they will make no difference to me as I intend to see it regardless. I think the general American populace is still too skeptical about Tom Cruise for this to make any major money in the US.

What?? Knight and Day didn't convince the masses??

Even with Tommy C playing the same role I still think this movie looks awesome. December 21st is the first release date since as long as I can remember where I needed to see 2 movies released.

Ive got an idiot imax question, as i plan on seeing it the 16th. With the digital theaters (the AMCs of the imax), when the aspect ratio shifts for stuff shot in the imax format, the screen will shift with it to 1:78;1 or whatever the imax digital aspect ratio is? and then go back to 2:35;1 for the rest of the movie

Re: Mission Impossible 4 -- Coming 2011 -- Cruise to star and produce with JJ Abrams
 
^ correct and it's supposedly around 30 minutes of footage. Considering though the IMAX footage aspect ratio is 4:3 - it's better to see this movie on a 15/70 IMAX screen than an IMAX-Digital screen (where it's AR is cropped 1.78). (bare in mind though 'The Dark Knight Rises' 6 minute prologue is only featured in 15/70 theaters and not on IMAX-Digital screens)

A BMW owner I know said the dealer called him and asked if he wanted free tickets to MI-4, as part of the BMW promotion in the movie.

Yeah, BMW owners can't afford to buy their own tickets.

It's right next to Dulles Airport, pretty easy to get to.

I may or may not have seen this already and it may or may not be the best Mission Impossible movie to date. But I'd lean much more toward the former than the latter in both instances.

I'm sure there was a much easier way of saying that!

Is that some kind of code?

Are you a wizard?

There may or may not have been.

Mabuse, only when I put on my wizard robe and hat.
