Who Is the Better Actor - Cruise or Pitt?

Cruise easy. Pitt in 7 Years in Tibet is a joke.

 

They acted together in Interview with the Vampire. I thought Cruise gave the stronger performance.

 

Kutcher.

 

Seems like Cruise is always plays himself- which is fine. He's good at it.

 

Pitt has played more roles than Cruise.

 

Tom Cruise. At least Tom totally fit the character that he's playing. Brad Pitt trying to expand his role make him look like an idiot most of the time. Troy is the one of the worst acting I've ever seen him in but the movie suck total balls anyway.

 

Tyler Derden

 

Brad Pitt's best work:

Spoiler

But then he was outdone by young Casey Affleck who stole the show.

Tom Cruise's best work:

Spoiler

But then he was outdone by an aging Jack Nicholson who stole the thunder.

Conclusion: Neither pretty boy is really a good actor but between the two, Pitt has made better films the last 10-15 years like Se7en, Fight Club, Babel, Inglorious Basterds, and The Curious Case of Benjamin Button.

 

Pitt and it's not even close.

 

Angelina's hotter than Nicole or Katie, so Pitt.

 

Also, forget to mention in the above movies that Pitt was outdone by his supporting actors almost always like Mogan Freeman, Edward Norton, Christoph Waltz, and Taraji P. Henson. So, Pitt really looks bad without a solid supporting cast who somehow always manage to turn in a better performance than Pitt.

 

the correct answer is patrick swayze.

 

They're both megastars, which means brand recognition and repetition. Cruise's hook is intensity, Pitt's is insanity or aloofness. Overall it's a wash, but I think twenty years from now Pitt will be remembered as a better actor. Cruise may not have any more good dramatic performances left in him or just too much bad pub to overcome, some of the Valkryie reviews were just mean-spirited and quasi-bigoted.

 

Bigoted?

 

Pitt in Burn After Reading or Cruise in Tropic of Thunder? It's Cruise. It's always Cruise.

 

Quasi-bigoted. A lot of crap in mutliple mainstream reviews about the "irony" of seeing Tom in a Nazi outfit. I don't like Spacechurch either, but keep it on the blogs.

 

Cruise easy.

 

No appettite for Tropic Thunder but Burn After Reading was depressingly disappointing. Did enjoy trying to identify all the allegories/analogies, though.

 

Pitt was good in Snatch.
