    tom cruise was jack reacher

    and there is a sequel coming out in 2016
    How could he be, Reacher is 6-5 250 pounds? And, there might be another Reacher movie but it won't be a sequel, it will just be a whole other book. There are about 15 of them.

    Why try so hard?

    I look at a sequal a little differently when it comes to books. Another book is just that ....another book. Now if it's like the Lord of the Ring saga, then we'd have a sequel.

    It's a legitimate question at this point.

    Jack Reacher is 6-5 250, how ya use Tom Cruise????

    Own all the books but the new one.
    I've heard that complaint before but Cruise's production team bought the rights so it was his decision to make. Probably were actors who fit the physical profile better but then the film probably wouldn't have been made if not for Cruise.

    When a movie is being done about a real life person or a literary character ya can't just do what ya want. You can't do a movie about Lincoln and use a guy 5-5. Reacher has a large following I'm guessing Cruise didn't know that. And in all of the books there's Reacher zoning out/chilling with some blues, music. We saw none of that.

    Actually it's much easier to do what one wants with a fictional character. It's done all the time.

    Of course Tom Cruise knew that. That's the whole reason movies based on books get made.

    A movie is going to be made about Samson, you want a guy nobody has ever seen before, so auditions are being held. Will a short fat guy get the part, how about a tall skinny cat?

    Cruise is a character actor. He really gets into a role. He can understand the role. He can project the vibe. But the only real answer is go see the movie. I guarantee you will come out of it and you will think, “What was I worried about?”

    Consider yourself shat upon by the author of Jack Reacher.

    When was the last tme you went to see a movie?

    Most movies that get made from books, real life events etc often cast people who dont even come close to portraying said characters.

    I dont have an issue with Tom Cruise playing a made up character from a book. But I do take issue when they cast Americans or English actors to portray spanish people. (The Impossible-Naomi Watts.)

    I like these type of movies because it's so much easier to suspend disbelief when the plot allows it through either time travel or this groundhog day effect. I find these things more enjoyable than just accepting that midget Cruise is some badass.

    1) I just assumed the general wanted cruise to be the face of the war effort in case it all went south and ended up being the massacre that it was.
    2) He absorbed the original aliens blood, that was the reason for the bigger jump, but not sure how they write off the alien being dead.
    As someone mentioned, not worth poking holes in because it was a great movie. But the one thing that I wondered was:

    When they go back to the General to get the mechanism, why didn't Cruise inject himself right there and then try to get the General on board with mass attaching the Omega with the military?
    As opposed to leaving the office and then injecting himself in the middle of the car chase.
    Or once they realized things were going bad, just shoot Cruise and reset.

    I've probably gone to the movies about 3/4 times a year since I was a kid. Yep, tons~~~~~~

    So give me an example of what you are talking about.

    In every Reacher book there is talk about his size, and usually some mention about how being this big guy....later on in all the books. The fact he is a big bad dude is a major factor in his story.

    not exactly the same but Primer is very good.

    I thought they were going to make a movie of Ken Grimwood's, Replay novel but I don't see anything anymore.

    Well, Cruise himself played Claus von Stauffenberg, who in real life was 6'3".

    Chris Hemsworth is 6'3" -- not the 6'6" that Thor is listed at in the Marvel wiki.

    Hugh Jackman is a full foot taller than comic book Wolverine.

    Nick Fury is (maybe was) white in the comics.

    It's called acting, dude. Suspension of disbelief.
