Knight and Day and Mission Impossible 2 are the first to come to mind for me, bot were absurd parodies or themselves.
I've heard the later Mission Impossible sequels were actually pretty good, but the second movie was enough to stop me watching. |

He is an astonishingly gifted and dedicated actor with perhaps the best work ethic in Hollywood. More, he helps everyone working with him achieve their best as well. Count how many of his co-stars won Oscars while working with him. His religion is crazy, every religion is crazy, but that's about the worst thing anyone can say about him.

If you're saying it sucked because it was rebellious hippy bullshit, then I agree. But, Tom Cruise WAS Ron Kovic in that movie. It wasn't a shitty movie because of Tom Cruise. I read that Cruise lived in a wheelchair 24/7 for an entire year to prepare for that role. Apparently he also owns a period correct P-51 Mustang and flies it on a regular basis. Quote HistoryQuoted:

Quote Historyul Quoted: Also he's an A lister worth half a billion dollars and yet he's still a hard worker. Like the training he did for 'Collateral.' He could have skipped it and gotten paid the same, but he did it anyway.  http://youtu.be/H8-P8sJNHk0He also gained more real life shooting skills making that movie than most here possess to begin with. I believe he also has a good insight into defending himself bare handed too. A friend of mine worked with him on hand to hand and striking techniques , said he got good , powerful and fast as hell. |

I particularly like watching his movies and think to myself what the directors had to put up with to film the right camera angles to make him "look the character". I do realize he is height challenged.....but sometimes it's plain entertaining/ interesting.
As far his acting..mediocre at best. He is good on film because of directors, supporting cast, and screen play/ storyline. |
