4. He sucked until the first Mission Impossible.

I thought he was the stereotypical white arrogant frat boy. Yuck.

But then I saw him with those glasses and those buff arms (and I hate buff) in MI, and WOOO. But then I only liked him in the MI films (ooh, and Interview with the Vampire, liked him in that). Then I saw Magnolia, then he divorced Nicole "yuck" Kidman. For some reason he's looking hot to me lately.

Now he's one of my favorites. A bit scary because of the Scientology stuff, and because his recent movies haven't been great, but he seems like a cool guy and a capable actor. Plus, he gets extra points from me for adopting a brown kid or two and requesting Thandie Newton (at the suggestion of Ms. Kidman) for MI2. :)

5. He annoys the heck out of me.
Overrated and I don't think he is that good looking or maybe its because he annoys me so that I don't find him that good looking, whatever! :shrug:

I don't like him and rarely watch his movies.

11. I was going to say "on his mouth."
So he'd quit opening it.

13. There's more room on his forehead.
We held our family reunion there.

The weather wasn't great, but we made the best of it.

10. He seems to have good intentions but limited range.

15. I thought that till I saw "Born on the 4th of July" where he played a
wheelchair bound vietnam veteran in a true story. He was fantastic. I haven't seen all his movies, but I definitely think he has improved over the years and he's more than just a good looking guy.

And he does have that irresistable boyishness.

20. Well.... ok. I saw it too and still think he's not a versatile --
-- character actor.

I don't think he could pull off what Johnny Depp does, or Dustin Hoffman, for example.

I watched LENNY tonight. Hoffman and Valerie Perrine are absolutely terrific in that film.

14. I wish he'd come out of the closet.
It'd be good for the world to know that someone they love so much is gay.

16. Where's the "indifference" option?
He's an OK actor, but I'm not attracted to him at all. Just...meh.


Besides, isn't he a Scientologist? That's a big ol' dealbreaker.

19. i feel the same way
i'm not attracted to him at all. i know he isn't unattractive and seems to have what makes for a good looking guy. but i just can't get into him. he does nothing for me.

but he is a pretty good actor.

17. Eh, he's nothing special.
I certainly don't go see a movie BECAUSE he is in it. I'll go see 'War of the Worlds' because it intrigues me, not because I might see Cruise in a leather jacket and jeans again. :D

Physically a hottie but he's the duke of dorkdom.
