In your opinion

[ObiwanGinobili]

Yeah damon was sick in both of the bourne movies. i liked the 2nd better

i like the books better.

Cruise is a male Julia Roberts. They play themselves very well, but they only play themselves.

Of course, Tom Cruise movies don't suck as bad as Julia Roberts movies.

Great so im getting the feedback with yall backing me more agreeing that Denzel is the way better actor.....heck personally i even think Will Smith is better than Tom Cruise

Jet lee is a better actor than Tom Cruise. He always has that same style of acting...all his roles seem the same to me.

[batman2883]

But so is Jet Lei....

But so is Jet Lei....

Whatever.

There's nothing wrong with having a good screen personality that you use in all of your movies. A lot of the great actors and actresses in the 30's-60's used to play pretty similar characters from film to film.

But if we're comparing, I usually go with whoever has shown more range.

And to you that would be??

you should do a poll.

and Will Smith has turned out to be a very talented actor (not in Denzel's league though...). His portrayal of Muhammed Ali was great. I am not in to boxing at all, but Ali and Hurricane both had me hooked... and that's mainly because of the fantastic performances by Will Smith and Denzel Washington.

The more I think of it, the more I think Tom Cruise is just a one-dimensional actor. But, obviously, you can get pretty far in hollywood on one dimension.

Very very true, i believe Will Smith has come a long way from Fresh Prince of Bel-Air...he is very very talented and very funny still......

[Trainwreck2100]

i like the books better.

You can't really compare the two. The only thing the books and movies have in common are the names

[nzkickass]

Denzel gets my vote

[TheTruth]

Neither one of them can hold a candle to The Governator.

[sa21]

I think Denzel is the better actor. He has some great movies. Man on Fire and John Q. I also think Denzel is better looking than Tom.

i can compare them.
how much did i enjoy the movies?? ehhhh 7 1/2 out of 10
how much did I enjoy the books?? about 9 out of 10


i don't use trainwreck rules for my personal opinions.

[bigzak25]

Okay i have been having an argument with at least 4 different groups of people and i would like to know everyones opinion on this matter.....who do you believe is the greater actor.....Denzil Washington or Tom Cruise. Myself i choose Denzil, he is by far a better actor than Tom Cruise.... ed up finger and all, he still plays the best roles and has awesome movies, Tom Cruise makes great movies too but his acting ability still doesnt seem to match up to that of Denzil......your input is gladly appreciated.

as much as i hate to admit it, i'll go with Cruise. born on the 4th of july, rainman, risky business, the outsiders, the list of GREAT movies he's done is long, not to mention all the other stuff that was just gravy.

But it would be like 1st and 1st-a with Denzel right on his ass.

Man on Fire, The boxer movie he did, i forgot, and although i have YET to see it, I have heard that Malcolm X rocks.

It was so stupid for him to get the award for training day though.

All the white hollywood contingent, was like "oh wow, he can play a gangsta cop" too. Lets give him a trophy. He was so much more deserving for his other works.

[JoePublic]

Not even close.

They are like black and white.

Denzel is way better and he deserved his Oscar for Training Day.

[ShoogarBear]

Cruise's greatest acting challenge is as a heterosexual.

Actually, I don't mind him that much, but he personally almost completly ruined A Few Good Men all by his lonesome. Even Demi Moore was good in that.

[ShoogarBear]

Denzel should have won for Malcolm X. (Training Day was fun, but not really a demanding role.)

Al Pacino won that year for Scent of a Woman, which may be the worst piece of acting he's ever done.

Every time a great actor who's never won gets screwed out of an Oscar, he seems to end up screwing another great actor out of the award in another year by winning for a lesser role.

I agree. I thought Pacino and that movie were not very good at all. I have no idea how the academy makes these decisions. Denzel Washington should have won for Hurricane. He was phenomenal in that. I think they gave him the award for Training Day to make up for Hurricane.

[mookie2001]

there are only a handful of actors who i consider "good"
Kevin Costner
Christian Bale
Chris Farley
Clint Eastwood
Michael J. Fox

[TheAdmiral#50]

Both are Awesome actors. I would have to say Denzel, but not by much IMO.

[mookie2001]

Tom Cruise ing sucks
vanilla sky was good
he cant even smell Kevin Costners balls

[Spam]

Denzel was awesome in "Glory" despite co-starring with Ferris Bueller.

You obviously never saw Robin Hood, Prince of Thieves.
