    He used to be good. Taps was great, and he was right on in Top Gun, but I think his thetans are messing with his acting skills or something, because Tom Cruise hasn't been a good actor in 10 years. He does "Angry man" well but that's about it.

    PS I really liked Ben Stiller's impersonation of him on that Jeopardy skit from SNL.

    He's definitely over-rated...even though I look like him.

    He's too busy saving the world from the evil galactic warlord Xenu to be a good actor as well. Give the man a break!

    I think he was quite good in War of the Worlds, and better in Last Samurai.

    Other than that I havnt really seen him do much that I like really, so I vote Aye!

    I think he was really good in the movie "Collateral".

    I second that, overal I think he's a pretty good actor. Even thought I don't like him as a person I can still admit that he deserves some respect for all the good work he has done (acting that is, not saving the real world ).
    He did good in Interview with the Vampire (Brad Pitt sucked as usual thought )
    I liked him in The Firm, and I really loved his acting in A Few Good Men.

    He was a little too over the top for me in Interview, although I did like him in all his other movies that were mentioned. So, from this thread I think that we can conclude that Tom Cruise is a good, but not great, actor?

    His personal life in no way effects his excellent ability as an actor. I say nay!

    I agree. If Cruise is in a movie, for me that's more of a reason to go see it than not.
