you can't be serious? The movie wasn't "bad" (I actually enjoyed it), but Tom Cruise completely butchered Reacher's character.
yeah, I do think this. I admittedly saw the movie without realizing there was a book series it was based upon. I went back and ended up reading quite a few of the books, and after doing so, I really don't care about the physical differences. I thought the character in the movie was more compelling and more realistic that the one in the books.

No he didn't. People had a hard time getting past the fact that he didn't "look" like Jack Reacher. But he did pretty well capturing the presence.

I picked up One Shot at DFW on my way back to NOLA looking for something to read. I was entertained. I ended up reading a bunch of them. Child is so all over the place. Some of the novels are great, others I find myself asking "Why is he here?"
As far as actors go, capturing the presence of Reacher is more important than the physically imposing figure. They could've gotten a guy like Hugh Jackman to play Reacher, but I don't think Tom Cruise did horribly. I enjoyed the movie.
