Once again, this is why I don't support the Hollyweirdos. Political correctness and craziness have replaced entertainment in Hollyweird.
Whining about political correctness in Hollywood is usually an indicator that (1) the whiner doesn't have a grasp of Hollywood's back catalogue, much of which, including the old black & white movies, addressed contemporary social and political issues; or (2) the whiner is feeling constrained by political correctness from saying what he or she thinks about various minorities and political viewpoints. But I'm sure you're neither of those apply to you, right?Once again, this is why I don't support the Hollyweirdos. Political correctness and craziness have replaced entertainment in Hollyweird.

When I watch Tom Cruise's movies, I am always looking for entertainment, not for his acting chop nor his brand of charm. It was a pleasant surprised with his take on Jack Reacher. And if you have read Lee Child's Jack Reacher novels, you'll know that Reacher should be an intimidating, 6ft+, fair hair and blue eyes ex-MP man, and yet, Tom Cruise seemed to be pretty convincing in the movies as a serious character.....
Yes, Cruise is Jack Reacher in personality, and mindset, but obviously not in stature. I've read most of the books, which are slightly more believable than Stephen Hunter's series. Jack is a BIG BOY who has lots to be cocky about. Cruise is almost certainly the best actor for this job, possibly the The Rock could play the part, but he's not confident enough.

being a USN vet that worked on the flight deck, it's a fun movie for me. Unrealistic? yes. Fun? Yes!

These days you can buy the DVD for $10 so why not?
The G-1 in question is Maverick's father's. The patches are from the Vietnam ERA. His father died flying a mission on VN. Changing the patches is just wrong so I hope it is just for the trailers.
Ron Perlman for Reacher....perfect!Yes, Cruise is Jack Reacher in personality, and mindset, but obviously not in stature.
