every woman i know thinks Cruise is a pedestrial-looking at best, so its certainly not sex appeal that keeps his career going... i think he simply established a great repore with high-up directors like Steven Spielberg, and that has kept him going. that, and making career choices that he knew would translate to box office success. i mean, i enjoyed Spielberg's "War of the Worlds" because ive read the novel and i'm a sucker for borderline-POV mass genocide... but come on, was that movie really good enough to warrant the 7 billion dollars it made at the box office? of course not, but it did, and Cruise and his career reap the benefits as for Brian Singer, he's a super "meh"... with the story and Spacey, it would've been incredibly hard for Suspect to not be amazing. X-Men was all over the place and resulted in a pretty flat movie. X2 is the comic genre benchmark according to most, but to me it was a dragged-out snoozer that tried to be a character piece and was only saved by Brian Cox and Superman Returns? ho. lee. sh it. i'm not even a Superman fan. but people waited like 25 years to see the man of steel back on screen in the glorious technology that this era provides... and we got damn near 3 hours of Brandon Routh hugging Mama Kent, hovering in random areas, and eves dropping on Kate Bosworth. awful  ing movie |

No love for Minority Report? That's probably my favorite Cruise movie. As for this film, it doesn't really interest me.

Did I? I merely stated mine. I was pointing out the fact that we have different opinions. No defense. I don't personally care what you like and don't like. You brought up that we had different opinions, and I pointed to a fact to support that statement. |

Who criticized his beliefs in the first place? I was criticizing his shitty acting and overall unappeal.

I didn't mean to force my opinions on you. But let's leave it at that. |

Actually, I understood you perfectly. I never thought twice about anything you said. I said I thought it was mediocre. You liked it a lot. I said that's the difference of opinions. You thought I was taking offense. I explained that I didn't.
