How can one man be so based?
RIP Tom Cruise
One of my favs ever.
Minority Report is 2nd.
I've come around on Tom Cruise. Jack Reacher and Edge of Tomorrow are great.
>>71232149
I love that movie and I hate all the bullshit people sprout on to hate it. The plur of Samurai is fucking Samurai. The movie wasn't about Tom Cruise being the last of the Samurai, it was about the last of the samurai.
Nathan Algren comes to Japan having seen the horrors of war in the west. He is an outside in Japan but an outsider in his heart, having reserves and concerns over his home. He is then captured and made a further outsider with the clan. He is slowly indoctrinated into their way of life. He learns their culture, their tradition, becomes like a brother to one and even falls in love with one of their women. He feels out home with them, he isn't an outsider anymore.
So then he defends his new home. And he fails.
That's what makes this movie pure kino is that Nathan isn't the last of the samurai. He watches his new family, their way of life, everything he has come to love die. He finally found something worth fighting for and lost it all. He couldn't even follow them in the final art of seppuku.
LOOK AT THIS FUCKING SCENE:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sZTWCwqmgLc
That is pure fucking kino. Again he is an outsider, they bow to HIM. He looks around and sees the natives in his old clothing, him in theirs. Everything is reversed, everything is fucked up. He knows he has to do anything he can to make it right. That is why he talks to the emperor. That is why he doesn't follow them. He is a stranger between both worlds, completely alone and without a home.
This movie is a tragedy. A beautiful, beautiful tragedy about a lost man with a desperate desire for something more in this world. Only to find it, live it, and lose it all.

>le white savior the movie
It's not the white savior, he FAILED. Everything beautiful and wonderful about this world is missed by fucking normies who take everything at the face value the media and critics tell them it fucking is. I fucking hate all of you.
>>71232496
Look at this fucking scene when he tells the emperor that he will gladly take his life if he were to command him to.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zO9NxDcF-aA
He is WISHING he would do so. He wants to go, he wants to die as a samurai, he wants to follow his family. But of course his unknown request is denied as an act of kindness when it is actually a terrible curse. He must go on living, never fully belonging in the old world or the new.
>>71232496
It's also a movie women will NEVER understand

I never noticed the disappointment in his eyes before holy shit, is this movie hidden kino?
>>71232149
1. Eyes Wide Shut
2. Collateral
power gap
etc
What's the one where he fucks a hooker on a train to the tune of cumming in the air tonight and dances in his underwear? That's top. Also mission impossible 1 is excellent
>>71232935
>"We can not forget who we are, or where we come from"
Right as it fucking pans on tom cruise's face and then cuts to the fucking americans, holy shit
>>71232982
It's just decent acting, cool your memes
>>71233013
Risky business
>tfw you haven't even seen half of tom kino
i've seen
Mission Impossible 7/10
Eyes Wide Shut 5/10
Minority Report 7/10
The Last Samurai 7/10
Collateral 6/10
War of the Worlds 5/10?
Jack Reacher 5/10

Damn Tom "7/10" Cruise. For me a 7 is very good btw.
>>71233062
>just decent acting

>>71232994
I don't think this post could be more wrong. His best performance was in Magnolia.
Mission Impossible 3 was fucking great.

can't bruse the cruise.
>>71233113
This is about movies

It's crazy how relevant he still is 35+ years into his career. That fucking Scientology repping
>>71233083
strict ratings
collateral was 10/10 until last act
>>71232149
I love Collateral and Minority Report. I still need to see a few of his older stuff and Jack Reacher
https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=dROwEc4VyJA
>>71232938
what a tryhard weeb lmao
the one where he jumps all over some black ladies sofas
>>71233083
>he hasn't seen the other MI movies
wtf is wrong with you
>>71233204
These are my 2 favorites as well. I'm sure you'll like Jack Reacher. It was a solid action film.
>>71233083
>War of the Worlds 5/10
gtfo
that movie is a 6.5/10. Pretty decent.
>>71232496
I bet you own a katana and memorized the bushido by heart you dumb white westerner
>He is slowly indoctrinated into their way of life.
Choose your words better, indoctrination is literally a synonym for brainwashing
>>71233312
Not the guy you're replying to, but Tom's shit kids ruined it
>>71233169
>Trying to use scientology positively
'no'
>>71233083
>>71233284
The last two are literally the best ones.
>>71233284
>there are more MI movies than stars in the universe
>>71233312
maybe. i don't remember that much about it as I saw it a long time ago. it's probably the first tom cruise movie i ever saw, which seems weird.
Mi5 is better than Spectre.
Prove me wrong.
>>71232938
>It's also a movie women will NEVER understand
Why does this have to be forced in every thread? It's the most pathetic aspect of this board, we get it, you're a big manly man for liking sentimental action movies and posting about them on the internet
War of the Worlds was average for based Tom, but it was worth seeing in the theater
>>71233421
Spectre was shit, so that's no big praise
>>71233436
u clearly did not understand
back to kitchen with u
he's great in magnolia. that's probably one of his best roles.
>>71232149
Just saw that tonight, so comfy
>>71233467
typical summer post
>>71233421
As someone who really enjoyed Spectre, MI5 was the WAY better spy movie.
That Opera scene is the best Bond sequence not in a Bond flick.
>>71233421
Casino Royale > Skyfall > Mi5 > Mi4 >>> Spectre
>>71232149
One of the comfiest movies around.
>>71233436
You might want to step back, take a deep breath, and punch yourself where your dick used to be. It's never a good idea to take things too seriously on this board.
War of the Worlds was fun as fuck most memorable part was the noise the walkers made and the ferry scene
>>71233534
Thought it was average, still wish I saw it in theaters though.
>>71233421
Spectre is ok but MI4 and 5 are much better.
Royale still hasn't been topped imo.
>>71232149
Ultimatum ofc
i didn't really like the movie, but he's pretty good in vanilla sky.
tom cruise is kind of like a lite version of bruce willis. they both do all these mediocre to shit action movies, but every once in a while we get a 12 monkeys or magnolia and they're fucking great in them
>>71233507
I guess I'm not the only one who didn't despise Spectre.
But yeah MI5 was better.
>>71233083
>For me a 7 is very good btw.
This is fucking retarded. You are the only critic using this metric of 'stuff I like', and you made a scale from 1 to 10. That doesn't mean that a 7 is very good, it means that you tell yourself that you need to give movies low numbers because you're afraid that, if someone asks your opinion (which they never do, hence you submitting it unasked-for on 4chan) you'll accidentally reveal that you like something they don't like. You're afraid that if you say something like, "Edge of Tomorrow is one of my favourite films, if I had to rate it on a scale of 1 to 10 I'd give it a 9," that the other guy will disagree, and you'll have to defend that.
Look at that fucking list, everything is between 7 and 5. You created a 10 point metric for yourself, then limited yourself to three grades, because anything outside that range is grounds for contention. You know that normal people actually use the full 10 points, but if you give the blandest answer you can then qualify it based on how they react, and you never have to actually put forth a strong opinion and have it challenged. Better to be safe and avoid potentially offending anyone or having a different viewpoint given to you.

overcompensating manlet
he does get to bang hot women though
>>71233584
The last two MI movies are miles above anything Willis has done in that span of time.
>>71233584
Cruise >>>>> Willis
Bruce doesn't give a shit about acting, Tom is a man who loves what he does.
>>71232149
Vanilla Sky
Top Gun
Collateral
Edge of Tomorrow
>>71233244
What a fucking warrior, you mean.
>>71233611
Most famous actors are manlets, doesnt change that hes an awesome actor and makes dope movies
>>71232938
Oprah was over the moon about it and dedicated a whole show to shilling it. Shit movie btw.
>>71233700
>Most famous actors are manlets
this is objectively wrong, and even among manlets cruise is one of the shortest
>>71233659
willis still cares, i think he's just kind of jaded now
even then he still does some ok stuff, he was alright in moonrise kingdom, sort of miscast for that role but it was fine
for action movies, specifically, cruise is significantly better than willis. willis has done a lot of good/great action movies, but pretty much nothing significant in the past 10 years
>>71233363
Neither are as good as the original but better than 2 and 3
>>71233603
I'm not a critic and the ratings are a rough record of how much I think I enjoyed a film (shortly after watching it) since in most cases I will never be able to remember that otherwise. 3s and 4s aren't uncommon although I never hope to watch 3s or 4s as it means I didn't like them. To me the most important jumps are between 6, 7 and 8 since those are the movies I like and at the end of the day that's all I care about. Is it really so unbelievable that none of those movies that I've seen, that Tom Cruise has starred in has been below a 5/10?
The ratings aren't for showing off to others. They're for me and no one else. If someone asked me if I liked Edge of Tomorrow I would say "yes I liked it a lot."
I've never rated a 10 btw ;)
>>71233561
>>71233509
Is there a place of the internet I can go where people agree with me that casino royal is a shit bond film? I'm disappointed /tv/ and /r/movies feel the exact same about this flick
>>71233903
I love it, but I think Skyfall, Rogue Nation, Ghost Protocol are better.
>>71233903
without eva green it would be a 5/10 bond movie
eva green jumps it up 2 points, because eva green
>>71233623
you mean last 3
>>71233903
You mean how everybody feels about that film?
>>71233603
kek
>>71233900
>I've never rated a 10 btw ;)
No movie is perfect, nothing is perfect in the world. I can think of some flaws in some 10/10 I rated.
>>71234008
>I can think of some flaws in some 10/10 I rated.
That's fine. I'm just not comfortable with rating a 10. Maybe one day.
>>71234008
I think there are some "perfect" movies in that they have literally no flaws in their design. Doesn't necessarily mean they're the best though
>>71233603
>called out in front of the whole board on an SH/L-tier rating system

Give me an example.

what does this even mean. the guy had no idea what he was talking about and was projecting hard.

You know it:

>>71232149
that movie is unimaginably stupid
>>71233848
Rewatch 1 and take off your nostalgia goggles. Everytging after the vaukt break in is hamfisted and sloppy. The whole final act is a total mess. Even the original mission I'm possible actors hated the ending
>>71234820
I bet you enjoy the speeches of hillary clinton
>>71234820
Weeb detected.
>>71233603
Not that guy, but I'll give your post a 1.0/16.5.
The perfect score, as I like your post.
Guy you replied to, is about 15/16.5, he likes stuff I like.
>>71232149
I just watched Jack Reacher because of a Tom thread earlier today.
That shit sucked balls.
The "fight" in the bathroom didn't come of as funny (assuming that was what they were going for). It just felt out of place.
>DeFault Auto Parts
>mfw
Tom can't pull off comedy like other action heroes. Arnie could back in the day, Ryan Reynolds, etc
Not terrible I suppose, just makes me mad when I'm reminded that every board on this shit site attracts those with the worst judgement in their respective topics
