Above Jason Statham.Where's Kpop rate on your culture scale there?
Lmao. Comparing denzel to Pitt. On denzels bad day he makes pitt look like a school boy.Some here don't like him. They are Tom Holland fans. Brad Pitt is the best, a lot of great movies and great performances. It is one of the few actors that does different roles and gives different performaces. Many actors that some here like, in all their movies they act the same like Morgan Freeman or Denzel Washington for example
. Now convince me that I am wrong
, it will be impossible.

Watch Tom Cruise in Magnolia or Vanilla SkyI think Brad Pitt is the better actor. I used to think he was a pretty boy until I watched Seven and Fight Club. He had lot of interesting and unique roles in movies over the years
Tom Cruise is a good actor but his roles has mostly been the same. I wish he would do more villian roles like he did for Collateral
Brad Pitt and Tom Cruise have done a great job of maintaining their image and staying relevant in a fickle environment. They both put butts in seats and that is what hollywood executives care about. Between the two I think Pitt has more range. Cruise when he was young did more interesting films. I don't know what type of people they are outside of the image they put out.
It doesn't look like any one has mentioned Legends of the fall.. to me it was one of Brad Pitt's best.

Just imagine brad Pitt playing tom cruises character in. A few good men.Yeah Cruise recent output has just been action films. Which is fine but he's been doing the same role for over a decade now
Ben Stiller isTom Cruise is probably not the best actor to play Tom Cruise.
It's an interesting plot, with a stupid romance with a terrible actress that wasn't needed. I enjoyed the exchanges between Brad Pitt and Anthony Hopkins, but yeah it's not perfect.it is a bad movie with a ridiculous plot ,
I used to think he was a pretty boy until I watched Seven and Fight Club.
Tom Cruise and Brad Pitt, the last two classic Hollywood megastars. Both legends.
I like pretty much every movie Brad Pitt has made. What a wildly diverse and insane list of movies, too: Seven, Snatch, Interview with the Vampire, Ad Astra, Oceans trilogy, Mr.& Ms Smith, Inglorious Basterds, Once Upon a Time in Hollywood, the list goes on.
Ad Astra is probably my favorite. Deeply underrated movie that really resonated with me.
Dude's just effortlessly cool too.

"The first report was around the 13th century where one man (presumably an Immortal) becomes one of the world first detectives of the Holly church...

Later in the 15th century this man became a pilgrim swordfighter that faked his own death in the Scottish highlands...

Not much is know between his medieval times and the late 19th century/early 20th century. (The photos were appears as a Japanese were probably from the early 60's)...
But there were reports that he continued his adventures in the Middle East

Then traveled to Kafiristan were he briefly became the king...

but people revolted and he escaped again to Europe in the Orient Express
![]()
This is when he became one of the first Europe's Artic explorer, probably circa the 1920's...
![]()
After "disappearing" in the Artic. He reappeared in the US, first working as a beat cop in Chicago. And later being recruited in the task force that took down Al Capone. (the man was a detective in the 15th century after all)
![]()
But this is when he faked his death again. Given his past life experience he became a Medieval History teacher in Marshal University...

But then WW2 broke. That's when the man went back to England and becoming an officer in the British army. But things went badly sour.
First in the North Africa (imprisoned in an German camp in North Africa)...

Then at D-Day...
![]()
And later in Operation Market Garden where he eventually was promoted to officer. But after his division suffers heavy losses in Arnhem, the Army finally got rid of him...

But that's exactly when her Majesty called...

Around this time in the 60's he was doing wetwork for the MI6 in US where he uncovered the truth about Kennedy, he was imprisoned but ended up escaping Alcatraz (for the first time)
![]()
Going back with his old contacts in the MI-6, in the 80's he went undercover. First as a book publisher in Soviet Republic during inception of the Perestroika
![]()
And later in Soviet Navy, were he disappeared again in the 87 Battle of the North Atlantic (AKA The Red October incident)
![]()
There were some talks that the Navy Intelligence uncovered the truth about his cold war feats but given how he basically broke the spine of the Soviet Navy with the Red October ruse, he was given the chance to begin a new life in the US. ("That torpedo hit the hull and i was never here" Vice Admiral James Greer, USN, Deputy Director of the CIA")
"
So after the cold war he went back to the US with another identity as a consultant to the LAPD. But when investigating a mysterious murder, he crossed both the Yakuza and a powerful Japanese Zaibatsu that was in the midst of sensitive negotiations for the acquisition of an American semiconductor company.

This exactly how he ended up in jail in the US circa early 90's, and not since the 60's like the Rock implies. Until 96 when the FBI discovered his entire identity post 1960's and this is exactly the time when Brigadier General Frank Hummel went rogue in the Alcatraz incident.
![]()
And after saving the day for a last time this was exactly when he disappeared and part of his job in 60's became public knowledge.

I love this so much.Sean Connery range is basically being Sean Connery
Plus Connery has his own multiverse across multiple centuries
Follow me here... because this goes way longer than The Rock and 007.
See?
Exactly one big character where Sean Connery is just playing himself the hole time
0 Range / Infinite Awesomeness.
Yup.Didn't he beat his adopted kids? The court documents alleged he choked them and struck their faces before dousing them in various alcohols.
Bit of a pathetic thing to do to children.
Not a single one of their kids is trans. They had one daughter that used to have short hair. Arrest the parents omg.Rather have him do that than groom your kids to be trans like everyone in Hollyweird is doing rn.
When Pitt is good he's surprisingly good. He has his cringe moments but overall he's done a lot of good stuff and displayed impressive range.
Cruise only knows how to go all-in, he has little restraint or appreciation of nuance. And for the roles which demand that, he's very good.
Overall I'd say Pitt is the better actor.
Same. Seven was a real eye-opener. Meet Joe Black too. Watching him go toe-to-toe with Anthony Hopkins and hold his own made me see him in a whole new light.
He *can* act, as can Cruise, but most of the time, they're "movie stars," not actors -- meaning their performances can be interchangeable.
12 Monkeys (especially) and Fight Club convinced me Pitt can actually act. But often doesn't.
(EDIT: I adore Sean Connery -- one of my favorites of all time -- but, he was a "movie star" too.)
I think Cruise is unfortunately driven by wanting to be in the biggest films - and as time has worn on, it's became obvious that what audiences care more about most and by extension what Hollywood's biggest successes are, are franchises. That's why he's made 100 Mission Impossible movies and that's why so many of those films are defined not by the story, or the humanity expressed by the actors. It's about how fast thing thing Tom Cruise is strapped to, and how high it'll go.
I hope that since he's now aged out of being a professional stuntman, that he'll hopefully abandon trying to be a blockbuster star and will instead aim to be a character actor - he definitely has the chops for it, already mentioned, but Magnolia shows him to be a great actor. I can't imagine Cruise will be up for being anything but the leading man in a film, but I'm not sure the film industry has films that have enough of a budget for Cruise and a role for a man his age.
Shame, I think Pitt is probably in a similar boat, they've both sort of aged out of the sort of roles they're famous for, I'd argue that Pitt's made better, edgier choices as an actor, while Cruise has played it safer with his aim squarely on getting the big box office return.
It'll be interesting to see what sorts of roles they end up doing. If Cruise manages to get a film out a year - he's got 8 films before he's 70.
EDIT: This is the synopsis of the film he's putting out next year:
The most powerful man in the world causes a disaster and embarks on a mission to prove that he is the savior of humanity.
The most Tom Cruise sounding film description you can imagine. I guess he's not ready to mellow just yet, lol.
I really like Daniel Day Lewis. His performance in Lincoln was phenomenal.
Both Pitt and Cruise have both made many films that are infinitely rewatchable. I give Tom Cruise the edge due to him being bat shit crazy and his love of making films.
