| DarthVolod said: Speaking as someone who despises 80-90% of the garbage at theatres these days, I can honestly say it was a mostly well done and highly entertaining movie (despite its absurd anime-esque plot). In regards to Tom Cruise, the man gets way too much hate. I wouldn't call him a great actor or anything, but he usually can be counted on to give a solid performance. His religious beliefs should be immaterial. Besides, the sad truth is that 99% of Hollywood is crazy (mostly ultra left wingers, social justice warriors, and religious nuts that are no more or less crazy than Cruise). Scientology itself can hardly be called more crazy than any major religion. The only reason people despise it so much is because it is the new kid on the block, and all of the things they do to people that speak out against them (persecuting non-believers is hardly a new thing though for a religion though). I'll even compliment Scientology in that they understand (probably for the wrong reasons but still...) that the psychology/psychiatry nonsense that is passed off as science these days is ruining countless lives. I think myself, and most atheists for that matter would see Scientology's "thetans" as no more bonkers than "immaculate conception." |
Which is to be expected considering it is loosely based on a Japanese novel.
