I'll tell you after I've seen it. Hopefully this weekend.

Can I vote AFTER I've seen it?

Nope... Wild guesses!

It looks OK, but I think it would be better without Tom Cruise.. I dont think he will fit that part very well at all.

But we will see after its out.

it looks intriguing, but I may wait to rent it

I'm writing in my vote. Somewhere in between. Christopher McQuarrie is usually pretty good, but then again he did do a re-write on the new Superman - which was an icky, icky movie.

The story is an awesome one that is begging for a movie... however, I'm not sure I can wrap my brain around every German havig an English accent minus Cruise... who gets to talk like an American.

You must not have a $2 theater around you!

I'll err on the side of FAIL. More hollyweird revisionist bullshit would be my guess.

you mean the theaters that have gum and Soul-Glo on every seat? yeah, we have them, that's why I'll probably wait to rent it

I’m not a Cruise fan either, but he does look a bit like Stauffenberg.

Tom Cruise sucks. Fail.

Isn't Tom Cruise too short to be a NAZI officer...?

i haven't seen it so won't vote either.

it looks like a movie full of win.

tom cruise being the wild card full of fail.

i'll wait till it comes out on dvd either way. i don't go to theaters.

ever.

I think it will be pretty good but who knows, it hasn't even come out yet!

My opinion of him went up when he starting ripping the profession of mental health (Happy pill dealing) and antidepressant use. The Scientology thing is a bit of a put off still though. Cruise is capable of doing good work, Collateral comes to mind.

I try to remember Tom Cruise in Top Gun. I saw that movie the first time at like 6 years old.

Every movie after that I thought he was horrible in.

But that Top Gun....

Should be pretty good, but I don't think I'd describe it as "epic".

Tom Cruise as person might be an idiot, but I like alot of his films.

That's just dumb.

On a completely-unrelated note, I wonder who his black sidekick will be?

Regardless of what anyone says, Cruise is one of the best actors of his generation. Period. Hell, he was even great in Tropic Thunder... I think it will be a great movie, and will be seeing it soon.
