For example, I don't like Will Ferrell in his typical roles. Oh they just drive me batty.

But. I do love Stranger Than Fiction. It's such a cozy movie.

Tom Cruise. No exceptions. Even when I don't realize it's him in a role (which was basically limited to his role in Tropic Thunder), his performances still irritate me.

I agree, but I'll watch Edge of Tomorrow or Oblivion if they're on.

[–] Albbi@lemmy.ca 11 points 15 hours ago

Edge of Tomorrow is just Tom Cruise getting killed over and over again. It's great for people who hate Tom Cruise!

Oblivion is so underrated. I feel like I never see people talking about it but it’s a legitimately solid sci-fi movie with an amazing score.

Much better plot execution than the Island. Visually stunning. I like the architecture too.

The first Mission Impossible was good but that was it for me.

[–] AbouBenAdhem@lemmy.world 11 points 18 hours ago (2 children)

I would say his role in Magnolia is the exception.

[–] Maiq@lemy.lol 6 points 17 hours ago (1 children)

Legend is still pretty good as well imo.

[–] FenrirIII@lemmy.world 3 points 10 hours ago

He's young too, hasn't gotten cocky yet

[–] QueenFern@lemmy.zip 3 points 18 hours ago

Aww yes, one of the best movies
