Over-rated actor or true creator of all things?
What are your thoughts?
used to be good... over rated now... like hasn't been good since risky business
I dont get the hype, or the thrill....
Its not like he's the only one that practices Scientology.
Chuck Norris could totally kick Cruise's ass..lol
Will Smith is a Scientologist now..
He scares me and I'm pretty sure "Surly" is the spawn of Satan, himself.
No, but he IS the most known for studing it and he has one of the highest positions in the church, if you want to call it a church.Quote:

I find it vaguely creepy that people can be told via various media "oh Tom Cruise is just dreadful and overrated and creepy and did you know he is a Scientologist and doesn't like antidepressants" and everyone just accepts this as fact and a good reason to dislike him. I mean, like OrganizedKhaos said, it isn't like he is the only Scientologist in Hollywood.
Honestly, though, I kind of feel like, no matter how much I liked him in Risky Business, Tom Cruise deserves what he gets. He did all the things one does to become a very large and very successful part of the Hollywood Machine and then he decided to be an ungrateful jerk to Sumner Redstone. My opinion would be different if he had gone an indie route, but doing it the way he did, it just seems disloyal and stupidly disrespectful.
He's a decent actor. He has pulled off roles I would not have expected to be within his range. I'm fairly certain he didn't go to Medical School. He may want to leave his musings to his betters in science to sort out. Have nothing against scientology per se.
He made up with Oprah. http://www.oprah.com/slideshow/oprah...tows_tomcruise
Recently, he bought into the revitalized UA. We'll see whether they can compete with Redstone and their other nemesis (nemisii? lol) It's all Hollywood ninnyism to me. I wouldn't single out Cruise per se.
OEC
I was never much for the guy or his acting. Big toothy grins and faux intensity don't fool me into thinking someone is an awesome actor. He's just a product of the 'machine' imo. There's more significant talent in the world, and he deserves zero hoopla.
I also think he's convinced he's the new Messiah, and that he's off his damned rocker. There's not enough talent in his body to make up for being batshit insane, really. Just because he's the first anyone's ever heard of Scientology, doesn't mean that it doesn't deserve all of its current off color reputation.
