I don't think anybody rates Cruise too highly.

 

[Rustin Cohle]

If anything, Cruise is underrated because most can't see past his Scientology bullshit. He's a solid actor who makes mostly enjoyable films.

 

[Piss Poor]

Over rated:Gorge Clooney- Don't know all the fuss, His movies are shit.
Brad Pitt: Same as above
Nicole Kidman

When given the chance he's a pretty good actor. Probably derserved an oscar nom for Rain Man but was overshadowed by Hoffman.

Cruise seems to be a good actor.

I'll confess - I don't know what makes a good actor (or at least better than average). But I can tell a bad actor or performance when i see one.

Most good/bad acting performances are based purely on the quality of the film. Rarely do you hear an actor praised for their work in a rubbish film. When the Oscar nominations come out, the best Actors, supporting Actors, directors, cinematographers all come from the same few films.

When making a quality film:
1. get the best writers.
2 get the best director.
3. Get the best set designers, photographers etc - the guys who create the 'look' of the film.
4. get the best actors.

To make a commercially successful film.
1. get the best-known actor
2. Get the cutest supporting actress
3. Get the writer etc.........

Overrated: Christian Bale, Denzel Washington, Natalie Portman, Gwyneth Paltrow.

Christian Bale is an amazing actor.
3:10 to Yuma
American Psycho
Batman Begins
The Dark Knight
The Fighter
He was ok in Terminator Salvation.

 

[Silvagnis]

Christian Bale is an amazing actor.

Amazing?

Really?

Bale would probably say that about himself before losing his shit.

Ledger smashed Bale in The Dark Knight.

The Dark Knight was nothing but Bale mumbling.

Russell Crowe, Johnny Depp and Robert Downey jnr. are better actors than Bale.

Bale isn't a better actor than Di Caprio, Rockwell and Norton.

Caine, Pacino, De Niro, Nicholson, Hopkins, Rush, Eastwood, Hoffman and Freeman are amazing actors.

Guy Pearce is underrated. Pearce could be a gun if he bought into Hollywood.

Hugo Weaving is a gun.

Robin Williams is a gun actor in serious films.

OK, let me rephrase that, Bale is an amazing actor when looking at 2000-present. Personally I think Bale is a better actor than Robert Downey. As for Di Caprio, Rockwell and Norton, spare me.

Over rated:Gorge Clooney- Don't know all the fuss, His movies are shit.
Brad Pitt: Same as above

The best part about Brad Pitt is his taste in films.

Fight Club
Seven
Inglourious Basterds
12 Monkeys
Snatch
Assassination of Jesse James
True Romance
Moneyball

And more. I question your taste if you can't find anything good in his filmography.

 

[Carbine Chaos]

Zach Braff.

Everyone see's him as a bit of a joker due to Scrubs but from the more serious movies I have seen of him (many of which he has directed) such as Garden State I reckon he has some bloody good acting chops.

Well your questioning it because all those movies are shit.
I can barely sit through his movies and I haven't, not one.

Good response.

He's a skilled actor, but he chooses to do too many action movies.
