Never go back to see another Jack Reacher movie. Wow it's so bad. So, so, so very bad. “The urge to save humanity is almost always only a false-face for the urge to rule it.”—H.L. Mencken | ||

I'm reading the books right now. I saw the movie. The books are great but Tom Cruise isn't the stud that Reacher is - according to the author.

Wow... bad reviews. Those that disliked it, how does it stack up against the prior movie? I was less than excited but found the first film much better than I expected, mostly because I expected to hate it.

First one was good, the second was plain horrible. ...let him who has no sword sell his robe and buy one. Luke 22:35-36 NAV "Behold, I send you out as sheep in the midst of wolves; so be shrewd as serpents and innocent as doves." Matthew 10:16 NASV | |||

I didn't like either. I read the books and had a very good image of what Reacher was supposed to be. Cruise falls well short by every measure [B] Against ALL enemies, foreign and DOMESTIC | |||

I also thought the first movie was decent. I will watch the sequel anyways, with lower expectations. Sig P229R 9mm - Sig P365 NRA Sig P320C 9mm - Sig P320 FS .40 | |||

I read most of the books and really liked the first movie in spite of Cruises stature. I thought he acted the part spot on. Too bad the second one sucks, I'll also see it with low expectations like the poster above. “People have to really suffer before they can risk doing what they love.” –Chuck Palahnuik Be harder to kill: https://preparefit.ck.page | |||

I agree Tom Criuse isn't the book's Jac Reacher. Jack Reacher is 6'5", Tom Cruise is 5'6". Yea, no. That being said I thought he did a good job in the role. The first movie I thought was very good. The second was awful. Really, really bad script. Skip it even if it's free. | |||

Anybody notice that Lee Childs did a cameo in the movie? He was the TSA New Orleans agent. You know what they say in the Cavalry, "...you hardly learn anything the second time you get kicked by a horse... | |||

Maybe because I haven't read the books, I had no problem with Cruise's portrayal . I did think it interesting that , when he broke the girl out of jail by taking out the large black guy and stealing his jacket and beret, the jacket fit Cruise perfectly,even though the black guy was twice his size . | |||
