When paired with one of the greatest directors of all time, Tom Cruise has trouble acting.

Rating: 9/10 (9 July 2002)

I thought the plot of the movie was extremely brilliant, don't get me wrong there. Steven Spielberg is an excellent director, don't get me wrong there. Tom Cruise can be an excellent actor, don't get me wrong there as well. But all three of them together made the film seem lazy and silly, and Tom Cruise just doesn't cut it in a sci-fi/fantasy movie. It would be something like having Adam Sandler star in Lord of the Rings. It just doesn't really work... Better luck next time.
