damn? is brad seeing how they're just cooking him like this online?
F1 couldve happened with cruise
They’re not wrong. Pitt is ok but simply falls short in charisma. And his career was carried as much by the Brangelina bullshit as his actual skill
I've never watched a movie that looked like crap just because Pitt was in it. I watched Jack Reacher 2 just because of Tom. And he still elevated it to sufferable. Brad and Cruise aren't in the same ballgame, let alone ballpark.
I haven't seen Cruise "act" since the 90s. I'm pretty sure Magnolia was the last time he actually showcased any sort of range.
Every other role he's done is a take on the same charismatic Ethan Hunt type archetype who smiles and does a lot of running, while whispering loudly any time he's trying to showcase emotion.
cruise and pitt have roughly the same acting skills. actually i'd argue pitt has more range.
pitt is borderline retarded
delete your thread, delete the literally who garbage, and remake the thread with just the movie news, thanks, nigger
hasn't watched American Made
Go watch it right now.
cope jonah.
he can barely string two words together
Make me, tranny
i agree but cruise tries harder and its more admirable
I read it as Pitt being more chill, while Cruise would demand demand doing something crazy thus creating unnecessary risk.
pitt doesn't have the balls to actually drive an F1 car.
He played a coward in Edge of Tomorrow, at least for a bit
Fuck "F1 movie" Tom could be a legit F1 driver youtu.be
How? Tries what harder? Yes, the stunts, but as an actor he plays it safe.
Pitt is alright as an actor, but he's not the guy you think of when you want someone to headline an action film. Tom Cruise is that guy though, and he'd probably insist on driving those cars at real speed
Am I missing something or are they simply pointing out that Tom Cruise is a fucking lunatic who would've crashed and cost the production another half gorillion more than it already costs?
Days of Thunder: Trickle
He has definitely chosen an archetype to play in the last 10 years, but in the 2000s he had Collateral and Tropic Thunder. There are nuances between his Ethan Hunt and then more stand alone type films like Top Gun, and Jack Reacher and The Mummy, but yes they do all fit within the classic confident action hero lead type.
Tom Cruise clearly decided he didn't have anything left to prove after his first 20 years in the industry and just wanted to play action heroes, but that just makes him even more of a movie star. Being a star and being a good actor is 2 different skill sets.
Has anybody ever asked career stuntment what they think of Cruise as a stuntman? He doesn't even strike me as a genuine stuntman who can sell a scene. More like Johnny Knoxville, but with worse hair.

kek come on now
As much as I like the movie, he's just Ethan Hunt with an accent. Not that that's his fault, there really isn't much to the character. It's more about the story itself than any intricate characterization/drama.
Why does everyone forget American Made? He made a pretty good midbudget drama with no shenanigans back in 2017. It was a lovely film. Very fun. Tom is without a doubt the greatest movie star to ever live. Appreciate him as much as you can.
I don't get where you see the comparison. The way Tom plays Barry Seal is completely opposed to how he plays Ethan Hunt. He's a lot more natural, a lot more lively and fun.
Tom Cruise is the last A-lister, it's that simple,
Brad Pitt sells magazines, not movies.
Watched Final Reckoning twice tonight because of that submarine sequence. Might just be the best set piece of the series. Unbelievably good.
Don't think people forgot it, but he is his usual confident self in it from what I remember. He's playing an action star in the film, just minus the action, no?
No way can a guy who had a mental breakdown, became a metrosexual who listened to Frank Ocean for a good while be compared to Tom Cruise. Apples and oranges. Also, Tom buried the hatcher and called him a good friend while I doubt Pitt will ever return a good word.
What a based fucking madman Tom is
cruise and pitt are not literally whos you retard
i couldnt care less about who made the tweet
its an interesting conversation... if it was cruise and not pitt in f1 and how different the film would be
Pitt is very successful producer.
You definitely need to watch it again, anon. It's a whole lot more nuanced a performance than what you're remembering. He acted like a real American southern boy, not an elevated larger than life action hero.
They're both terrible fathers lol
I envy Tom. He really came up from nothing and forged his own life path from sheer hard work, dedication and belief through positive mental manifestation. Cruise also knows every aspect of moviemaking as a craft inside out, he isn't just an actor like Pitt. I mean, come on, you guys really believe McQ's been writing the Mission movies? He just jolts down what Tom comes up with.
but as an actor he plays it safe.
No they're not. None of their (real) kids trooned out like those losers Damon and Affleck.
Are you trying to make an argument similar to it's not Tom Cruise playing confident, it's the character pretending to be confident? Because that's accomplished in the editing and writing, not really by the actor. The actor just has to play confident 90% of the time, and in a few scenes just dial it down a little bit.
I'm so excited for his Inarritu movie. Apparently, he's going back into Magnolia mode. Can't wait to see it.
26 years ago!
Affleck is based though
All I'm saying is simple. He's not just doing the Ethan Hunt bit, he put on a very interesting and very subtly nuanced performance. He's not crying his eyes out or screaming or whatever, but he's acting REAL. that's what struck me. Tom has an inherent theatricality which he used in the film but also replaced it with genuine moments of reality. I'd say it's worth a rewatch.
you know it's gonna bomb, why didnt they wait for tom to be available. seems like such an amateur move by bruckheimer. He of all people know that Pitt dont have that draw power.
I'm so excited for his Inarritu movie.
whats this never heard about it
You are not wrong. Cruise stopped trying right at the turn of millennium
Both tried when they were younger
Both got lazy since end of 1999.
There's no way in hell PItt would be able to make something like Eyes Wide Shut watchable.
His Ethan Hunt is a nuanced version of the classic action here lead character, all his action film characters are in different ways. But they still all fall into the archetype. His Maverick is not the same as Ethan Hunt, which is not the same as his character in the Mummy, which is not the same as Jack Reacher, but the differences are minor, not major. They all portray confidence, competence, decisiveness and strong wills.
Even Cruise couldn't have saved the absolute dogshit script of F1. And it's not just the script it feels awkward in a way that I can't explain. Something about the directing and/or editing screams amateur hour.
From 1:17
He's an incredible talent. Godsend.
preview
here’s my opinion
please die
F1 just isn't an exciting racing competition like NASCAR which is why most of that movie is going to be BTS drama ( which is what most consoomers of F1 care about) and not racing. btw, Tom is doing a sequel to Days of Thunder so that's interesting.
From IMDB
Untitled Alejandro G. Iñárritu Film
The most powerful man in the world causes a disaster and embarks on a mission to prove that he is the savior of humanity.
he is the savior of humanity
this will require some real acting from Tom since his real life is so far removed from this kek
He's an incredible movie star, he has that undeniable charisma that's near impossible to really pin down how he does it.
But the nuances in his action stars, any actor who makes it to the top to be cast as leads can pull that off, including Brad Pitt. American Made isn't special when it comes to Tom Cruises acting, but hey if it's your favorite film, you can continue trying to make the case for why it's like so super special and awesome and incredible and unique and nuanced and 20 other synonyms.
not that anon but,
Brad Pitt is living off Fight Club and has been for the last 25 years
A guy who failed as a father so utterly that his demented failed spawn takes time out of his father's funeral to come out as a tranny is not based. He's a failure of a man and should be ashamed.
It's footage from the actual film and meant to promote it so yes, I will form and present my own opinion about it.
I'd pick Tom Cruise over Brad Pitt any day of the week.
He's a failure of a man and should be ashamed
Don't believe anyone asked about you, anon
you're son turns into a tranny
you're a failiure
it's not fair to say that anymore, almost every single institution that your son partakes in when he's not talking to you, encourages them to troon out.
Encouraging your own son to be a troon is a different story, like that Liev Scrieber guy
Lame.
It's even more embarrassing than his son turning into a MtF. It's his daughter being some feminist non binary lesbian. Hundred times more existentially humiliating.
in what universe is your daughter being a lesbian more humiliating than your son dressing up like a woman and sucking cock
Days of Thunder 2
Frankie Muniz
gay
Most Cruise movies are just that....Cruise movies. The story is secondary to Cruise getting to be Cruise. Kubrick almost mindbroke him for it.
Kubrick is an asshole and he's overrated.

this is genuine mental illness
Kubrick is overrated.
lmao
And that's putting it nicely
please post a list of your favorite or most important directors thanks in advance, and yes you will be bullied.
Nah
Pitt is not on the same level as Cruise but to say he isn’t A-list is fucking retarded.
