Yeah, I that was the one of the four I thought he was average in. Hopkins was pretty great in it though. I thought that movie was decent, but nothing amazing.

But I thought Pitt was great in 12 Monkeys, True Romance, and A River Runs Through It, all of which movies I thought were fantastic. I can understand the latter movie not being to everyone's taste, but he was top notch in his role in that movie.

And I haven't seen the Aviator, but the Departed, Inception, and Django Unchained were the three that have turned me around on Leo.

I don't normally avoid movies because of actors though, I've seen too many movies I've really enjoyed in spite of certain actors. Tom Cruise is a perfect example of that for me.

Honestly, I would never argue that Cruise is a great actor, but he has generally been a good judge of which scripts work for him (or the Scientology handlers have been, anyway) - his acting skills were much better when he was younger - take Taps (very underrated in my opinion), All the Right Moves (probably unwatchable without Cruise) and Risky Business. He was better in those three roles than in almost anything since, possibly excepting Magnolia and Tropic Thunder. BUT, he made a number of entertaining movies along the way.
