They were not comic books. There are actually things called Novels, adults read them for entertainment. Some of us dont need pretty lights and pictures to appreciate a good story.

NOW for this piece of fucking shit what they call a movie. Anybody who has read the 14 novels will not enjoy this movie, cause it is being played by a fucking hobbit. [/quote]

Is this motivated by fans of the book or hate for TC? I saw the movie and loved it.

Fans of the book. I have watched TC and enjoyed his movies.

The character in this book is 6’5" 250 pounds of blond badass.

Not 5’4" and 150 lbs of running fury.

I don’t read comic books.
You might say the movie was unfaithful to the novels or whatever, but to say it was a bad movie is complete and utter bullshit. The movie was great, period.

Lets just agree to disagree.

MY opinion is I will not watch this movie because of who they cast as the lead character, Yes it could be a good movie, but I could give two shits. BECAUSE of who they cast.

Would be like watching a documentary of Michael Jordan and have Michael J Fox play his part.

Cowboys lost in OT yesterday, that ain’t helping his mood either.

I also enjoy the Reachers novels. I’m not so sure I’ll enjoy them as much after I see this movie. If I hear Tom Cruise in my head when I read the next one I’m going to be pissed.

What? I was suggesting you have them tell you a joke or something.

Where did your pervy mind go?

He might have assumed they were comics because I posted in here and I only read comics. Apparently.

I can’t believe people are actually so against the casting of this character that they would spend time writing essay like comments on why Cruise won’t work and who ‘should’ have been cast instead. First of all, these people haven’t even seen the film yet. There have been numerous films based on books that were different to the source material yet highly critically and universally acclaimed. Take LOTR or the Bourne series for example (with the the latter being more related to the character).

Secondly, the Lee Child books aren’t even that good. Jack Reacher is just one fictionalised character in a plethora of ‘pretty popular’ characters borne from ‘pretty popular’ books. The fact people can get so nerdy over stuff like this is disgusting.

I’m like a half-way sadist when it comes to enjoying the pathetic disgruntled pandering of comic book nerds.[/quote]

How many sprinting scenes were there? I saw the requisite car scene in the trailer.

That is a hot wheels chevelle in the background and cruise still looks short! hahaha

And sprinters

Seeing how all the threads pop up about how disgusted so many are about the casting of actors for movies with already established characters, either in novels, myth or comics, this one being the most recent,

who would you have cast in a particular movie, this can be a movie in production, a movie already out there, or a movie you want to see made.

for example, i think Dwayne Johnson (the Rock) would make a perfect Shadow, if they ever decide to make Neil Gaiman’s American Gods novel into a movie.

I hate to break it to you, but Tom Cruise didn’t do that bad of a job. The movie was much more based on the psychological, the pursuit (see T-Nation tag line), and the piecing of the puzzle. There was action and yes, the little one that is TC pulled it all off well. I would like to tell that Brian Bosworth would make a great Jack Reacher, but “the Boz” doesn’t have the acting chops to pull it off.

I’m not big on Tom Cruise movies except I really liked him in Collateral. It was good to see him play a bad guy.

So basically the movie doesn’t resemble the books at all except for the name Reacher. Sweet.
