I have absolutely zero interest.
Maybe when it’s on the 7-day rental shelf.
Not even renting it. After the South Park flap I will never support Tom Cruise in any movie, even a good movie.
Yeah, I’ll see it. The early reviews (Entertainment Weekly and Time) are pretty good. I liked the first movie a lot; the second… not so much. Despite Cruise’s Scientology weirdness and Oprah couch-jumping, I like him in these kinds of movies.
Our paper’s reviewer said it was essentially “Alias” with Tom Cruise. We’ll probably rent it.
I’ll probably see it. The reviews have been good, I like PS Hoffman, JJ Abrams, and even T? Cruise. 
The second one was SO BAD.
But, it does have Phillip Seymour Hoffman in it, TV is getting into re-runs, and it’s playing at my favorite theater.
Soooooo. . .I’m not ruling out that some random Wednesday night, the mood strikes me to run out to a picture show, and it’s probably not going to be for “Akeelah and the Bee” or “Mrs. Palfrey at the Claremont”.
twicks. . .no doubt you’ve heard about Wordplay?
No, the crap that goes on in these flicks is just too ridiculous for me to suspend my disbelief. Being blown from a exploding helicopter onto a train, and no injury? C’mon. Even with the copious slack I give to action movies for this type of thing, the MI movies go too far.
I don’t think so. I used to be able to watch a movie of his and see “Maverick: Fighter Pilot” but now all I ever see is Tom Cruise, F**kin’ Jerk. May take away from the movie going experiance.
Yep, going tonight.
Going with my teenager tomorrow. The reviewers I respect are unanimous in praising it - all say it is the best MI of them all, so that sounds like fun. And it is one of those movies that if Idon’t see it on a BIG screen, I don’t see it at all.
I am more likely to rent it. But that speaks more to my viewing habits than anything else.
**Absolutely Not! **
After the horrible disaster that was War of the Worlds and the Pressure brought against Comedy Central by Mr. Cruise, I will probably never go see another Tom Cruise movie in the theaters.

The first one was fun, but the second was so bad that I just can’t see giving them any money for a third, even if the reviewers do like it. During the big, climactic fight scene in the second movie, I was so bored that I kept checking my watch.
I wouldn’t go out of my way to see it. But if my BF decides to rent it when it comes out, I’d watch it if I didn’t have anything better to do.
Been there, done that, got the T-shirt.
No, seriously.
They played it at the Crossword Tournament this year, and we all got free T-shirts. I actually somehow ended up with two.
Not at a theater. Probably not from Netflix. Once it’s on one of the non-commercial but free cable networks, or On Demand, I’ll probably watch it. That’s how I dealt with The Last Samurai and Minority Report. In fact, I can’t remember paying to see a Cruise movie.
I saw Rain Man in a first-run theater.
After submitting my post I thought that I may have rented Collateral but I can’t be sure, so I’m pretty sure I wasn’t lying. I have seen many of Tom’s movies and have even been impressed with a few of them, but I treat his stuff pretty much the same way I do Keanu Reeves or Jackie Chan: you know what’s going to happen and you’re pretty sure you won’t be impressed, but it beats a test pattern or the Home Shopping Network.
If I had to pick Cruise movies worth more than 2 of 4 stars, I’d go with:
Risky Business (more for Rebecca DeMornay)
Rain Man (more for Dustin Hoffman)
Collateral (more for Jamie Foxx)
A Few Good Men (more for Kevin Bacon and Nicholson)
It just never has made sense to me why he is such a big star and why his movies make so much money. I certainly haven’t helped.
So any movie featuring Tom Cruise is automatically a “Tom Cruise movie”, featuring the predictable rules of Tom Cruise movies? Even if it’s directed by Steven Spielberg vs. JJ Abrams vs. Michael Mann?
It’s not for me to tell anyone what they should or shouldn’t watch, but I don’t see how a particular actor can make a movie more or less predictable…
(Well, at least any actor not named “Ron Jeremy”. Or perhaps “Rob Schneider”.)
