Post Tom Cruise

Tom Cruise is a really cool actor. All of the movies he has starred in have been fabulous, including War of the Worlds.

What movie do you think he has done a better job as an actor in?

I would definitely have to say War of the Worlds.

I assume you either haven't seen Rain Man, A Few Good Men, Collateral, Magnolia, or in fact most of the rest of his back catalogue if you've come to that decision...

I'd have to go Rain Man as an answer, albeit not a largely considered one

To adapt a plot outline from IMDB (saves me trying to summarize it...):

Selfish yuppie Charlie Babbitt's father dies and leaves a fortune -- to Raymond (Dustin Hoffman), the institutionalized autistic savant brother that Charlie (Tom Cruise) didn't know he had. They set out on a cross-country journey of discovery.

Why do you think War of the World's "sucked" that bad?

I know it wasn't directed at me, but still... Watching Schindler's List last night, I remembered just how good Spielberg could be... and compared to War Of The Worlds, he just seemed unable to recreate the same type of emotion with a story, which though it's about a different subject, the level of drama is fairly similar...

That and the fact I think Tom Cruise has played better roles even in recent memory, so there was no excuse for the good-to-average performance in WOTW... Oh, that and he's gone nuts...
