One of the worst titles for a movie, ever. It's right up there with John Carter.

I like how your sub box is full of science and political videos but your recommendations are full of anime girls kissing each other.

Just Zoid being Zoid ^_^

Yeah, I saw it last night. I thought it was pretty good as well, but I didn't like it enough to buy on DVD.

It wasnt that bad. John Carter was way worse.

Should've at least been Jack Reacher: One Shot.


But yeah I mean alright film.

It's just a hard series(books) to translate to a movie because of the way the books are written(you're inside Reacher's head a lot).
Plus they should've gone with someone besides Tom Cruise.
Someone 6'4"/250lbs-ish.
I mean I'm not a prude when it comes to casting book characters, but so much of Reacher's strength/fighting style comes from his natural hugeness in both height and muscles.

I've got a fan!

The name 'Jack Reacher' and the fact that it's based off a long serial really turn me off to this movie. It just sounds like another generic action film. I'll check it out when it hits Redbox though.

Still better than you.

.....most of you, at least.

I'm keen to go see it because he sounds like an obnoxious fool, and I can really identify with that.

Hugeness?
Since when is 6'4" huge?

I'll probably catch it at some point.

When it's being compared to Tom Cruise.
I mean that's the size of your average NFL player...that's pretty big. I mean it's no giant...but a big muscular 6'5"(just looked it up...off by an inch...sorry) can be pretty big.

Did you by chance see the 4:40 showing?

I haven't seen it yet, but my dad's a fan of the books (he listens to the audio books :>). I've head some of them, and the actor who plays Jack Reacher looks too damn young, and acts too arrogant. It doesn't seem very faithful...

  • 12.29.2012 11:50 PM PDT

let's kick some ass and take some names... without takin' the names

I enjoyed it. Although Cruise doesn't physically fit the role, I think he pulled it off. He delivers the bad ass lines pretty well.

Also, I liked the two antagonists. Not the old guy, but the main merc and the guy who hires the bar group. I'm not familiar with them, and I would definitely like to see them in more movies.

This. Really liked the main guy, with the shaved head. Good actor.

Cruise definitely delivered on the badass part. I like the main merc, but SPOILER-the one who kills Sandy- /SPOILER, i dont like his jersey shore -blam!- look.

Meh, im 6'4 and do not consider myself huge... Then again im about 200 not 250. Plus for NFL players, you have to factor those small corners, kickers, punters etc.
