Put ANYONE else in that role and I'd have been all over the movie, but I just can't do it.

after watching, i'm pretty sure I wouldn't want anyone BUT Tom Cruise for that role. fantastic movie, and Cruise was top notch in it.

get past the extracurricular and take it for what it is...a thought-provoking, futuristic action movie with the added bonus of emily blunt.

Yup, I am that petty as to not see a movie because I despise an actor in it. Put ANYONE else in that role and I'd have been all over the movie, but I just can't do it.

Was your wife pregnant at the time he and Brook Shields had their throw down over postpartum depression? Because I can see a hormonal wife making you take a blood oath to never see anything with Tom Cruise in it again in that situation. Outside of that, you're just being silly and denying yourself something you might like all the while not actually hurting a guy who already has more money and power than he'll ever know what to do with.

If I refused to see movies because I didn't like an actor or director's personal opinions or lifestyle, I would probably never see any movies.

The same could be said for sports and other entertainment. If I only watched people I like and respect personally, I couldn't watch sports, movies, tv, or even read most books or view most art.

I always respected the way Truitt Cathy ran his business, so I guess I'll have to always eat at Chic-fil-A. Oh yeah, he's dead. I don't know much about his son so I guess I'd better do some research before I eat there again.

Time to go Amish I guess.

By the way, I'm not a fan of Cruise personally either, but I can respect him for his craft, and I absolutely loved this movie.
