Well it's Wikipedia after all. Let's imagine instead that in the Avengers, Hulk (not Banner) was some 5'5" midget. Have you pictured that? Looks silly, doesn't it? you want to pat him on the head, don't you?

Man, 5'5" isn't even remotely little-person territory. Shit, I think you can probably see get all your clothes in the regular department store adult section at that height.

Yeah I'm 5'7" I'm able to shop at normal person stores...
I would like some money because these are artisanal nuggets of wisdom philistine.
After the super manly Russian voice, Tom's is a little. Uh.
Less powerful.
I dunno, man. Reacher's one of my favourite characters. This feels like such a big mishandle. On the other hand, despite being all speed and kung fu in that fight, rather than sheer power? Still looked cool. Gonna try and like it for what it is, a Bourne movie with less fights and a better story.
All I can think about watching that is it's Mission: Impossible 5 - Ethan Hunt pretending to be somebody else. Only the Mission: Impossible movies looked more enjoyable. Yes, even the terrible Mission: Impossible 2.
See, a title like 'Jack Reacher', that suggests our man is formidable. Then you see tiny Tom Cruise surrounded by that bunch of guys and I feel sad. Reachers size is his main characteristic. He's supposed to be intimidating, a powerhouse with hands like shovels that just destroys whatever he hits. This is just Tom Cruise kicks some ass with fancy moves.
Reacher is highly skilled at fighting, although he is not an expert in any particular martial art. Reacher's favorite techniques include elbow strikes, uppercuts, and headbutts. His tremendous strength aids him in fighting, as he is significantly stronger than most of his opponents
Reacher is a giant, standing at 6' 5" tall (1.96m) with a 50-inch chest, and weighing between 210 and 250 pounds (100–115 kg). He has ice-blue eyes and dirty blond hair. He has very little body fat, and his muscular physique is completely natural (he reveals in Persuader, he has never been an exercise enthusiast.) He is exceptionally strong but is not a good runner.[3] Reacher is strong enough to break a man's neck with one hand (Bad Luck and Trouble) and kill a villain with a single punch to the head (Running Blind and 61 Hours) or chest (Worth Dying For). In a fight against a 7 foot, 400 lb steroid-using thug (Persuader), Reacher was able to lift his opponent into the air and drop him on his head.
They should have put that guy in the movie. IIRC the author originally wanted Hugh Jackman in the role. He'd have been better than Tom Cruise.
I'll allow myself a little more restraint than Mr. Zeeny here, but yeah, that is a silly comment to make.
It was easily the best film of the year for me.
Really? You thought Winter's Bone was better than any of these: Inception, Social Network, Scott Pilgrim v The World, Easy A, Shutter Island, The A-Team, Tangled, Toy Story 3, or Black Swan.
Personally I thought the first 6 movies I listed up there were WAY better than Winter's Bone.
CommunistCow on
No, I am not really communist. Yes, it is weird that I use this name.
Winter's Bone is a horrible name for a movie that's not a porn film.
Thank god it wasn't just me. I thought it was a russian porn movie, boy was that an awkward masturbation. "Maybe its one of those art house pornos where they have a really detailed story before the fucking?"

I'd like to know what happened with Jackman. He'd have been a better fit. The problem with Cruise is, he's just Tom Cruise. Reacher has dirty blond hair, is it asking too much for an actor to dye their hair? I mean, at least try not to be just Tom Cruise playing Tom Cruise. He went grey for Collateral and Vincent was a great character.
I swear I'm not as pop culture as I thought I was, because with this Jack Reacher thing I have no idea what it came from. This frequently happens, I've become my father.

From that wiki description... They shoulda just called in Kevin Nash to play a big Russian fighter again.
Though I don't think he can carry a movie on his own.
I liked Inception, it felt tight and competently made but I can't remember much of the movie and I didn't come out of it thinking it was great. I thought it was good though. Perhaps I need to rewatch it
My old man loves the Jack Reacher books, always telling me about them.
His disappointment over Tom Cruise playing his new favorite fictional character is painful. Its worse then when Harrison Ford replaced Alec Baldwin as Jack Ryan. Mathew McConaughey as Dirk Pitt was okay though.
The sky was full of stars, every star an exploding ship. One of ours.

But Alec Baldwin has never played a president
Marty: The future, it's where you're going? Doc: That's right, twenty five years into the future. I've always dreamed on seeing the future, looking beyond my years, seeing the progress of mankind. I'll also be able to see who wins the next twenty-five world series.

The point is, that's Reacher's gimmick. That he's a giant thug with intelligence.
Take that away and he's another Jason Bourne.

It's only fair.
Only if Cruise was Canadian.

People who know/love the books are vomiting in rage right now.
It's probably a producer whose worked with Cruise before. Or it's a vehicle for Cruise himself.

Maybe it's not as big a deal in the US? They occupy similar book floorspace as Stephen King over here.
I didn't know who Jack Reacher was, either.
There's the connection.
Alex Cross looks interesting. Definitely a rental or to watch on tv.
Richard Castle is not a fake crime thriller writer! Why I have three of his real books on my desk right now!

Also, seriously, do they even need to alter that name to make the porno parody?
Maybe just "Jack Reacharound"?
"He'll Reacharound and Jack your head off!!"
Though I don't think he can carry a movie on his own.
God knows Nash couldn't carry a match on his own...
