Can't agree. I'd sit down and watch a lot of his films over and over. Diner and The Pope of Greenwich Village are favorites. His movies are garbage.
Even his best movie, The Wrrestler, is fairly boring.
I didn't see The Wrestler.

Both are crap actors these days, but at least Rourke could act once. Not sure Cruise ever could. Decent action movie star though.
That's so unfair.
Far and Away, The Firm, Jerry McGuire, Minority Report, A Few Good Men.
None of which show him as being more than an average actor at best imho. Perhaps I was a bit harsh but he'd never appear in any list of "great" actors. Flashes the grin and hopes it makes up for it.

Yeeaah... in an alternate universe.
Nobody cares about your hero. He's a legendary loser and an irrelevant loser.
He can't act. Hilarious.
Here's an alternate universe: It's a shame this isn't a movie about a bragging, cock-sure, self-aggrandizing cult member. It would make good copy. I felt like I was watching a movie. I have nothing against Tom, personally, but he's never struck me as very bright. Letting Scientology take over his life to the point that he doesn't see his daughter (the one with Katie someone) shows pretty bad judgment. It's one thing to have grown up in the cult - like Elizabeth Moss, for instance - and another to be sucked into it as an adult. Notice, it's not the Meryl Streeps or Anthony Hopkins that end up in Scientology; it's the Tom Cruises and the John Travolta's. Nice people, I'm sure, but not super intelligent.

Here's an alternate universe: Yes. Mickey Rourke is a brutal loser. What a joke compared to Tom Cruise in the real world!

I wouldn't enjoy a film about wrestling. Now, if he plays a baseball player, I'll watch. Football, yes. Hockey, sure. Basketball, definitely.

I find it a bit odd you only watch moovies based if you like or not a specific sport...

If anyone should be irrelevent, it's Mickey Rourke's plastic surgeon. I don't think boxing left much of a face for any surgeon to work on properly. Cliff Montgomery had a car accident that took much of his good looks away, but it wasn't on purpose. Mickey put his face out there in boxing and made it rough on cameras. Rourke rode that "boxing ruined my face" excuse for all it was worth. In reality, he fought a handful of nobodies. I've seen a fight or two of his on YouTube. There's about five real punches thrown, his opponent takes an obvious dive, and the fight is over. He got work done because he was vain and wanted to look young. |
