In Reply to: Metacritic averages it at 72. A point below 'Sin City' and one point... posted by kanesays on June 29, 2005 at 10:44:29:
Cruise always strikes me as emotionally shallow on the screen - that's why I think he's best cast as callow, eager beaver, superficial types (e.g. The Firm.) He always appears to be trying too hard, to no great effect. No depth, no surprises, no subtext.People who disagree with us about Cruise's acting chops always point to Born On The Fourth of July - but I just say that film proves the point. I find Cruise's performance in BOT4OJ excruciatingly obvious...and...well, shallow. He's vaguely interesting in Collateral for awhile, but not really...compelling IMO. I kept thinking of actors I'd have cast instead.
My favorite critic's quote about Tom Cruise goes something like "Tom Cruise confuses the art of acting with the act of staring at something really intently."
Since I dislike the crackpot scam known as $cientology and its methods, I'm hardly sad TC is taking some lickings.
