Cruise plays a good part. Moves well, is intense. However I like the Amazon series better, that reacher is much closer to the character in most ways. After all reacher is a tank that can move and without reserve. With that I still enjoyed the films. Cruise is pretty much good at whatever he does.
"The character in the Amazon series is much closer to the character in most way" are you kidding? he ain't a real character, (are you trying to impress us by telling us you read the book?) He can be anything you want him to be, you might prefer the amazon character but as there is no such person, so neither of them are close to the real character, how could they be? That is like saying George Reeves in closer to the real Superman than Christopher Reeve or vice versa, personally I like them both but have a preference for Tom Cruise as I think it is more believable, i'e' when they have a gang of kids attack a man mountain, that is a little hard to believe, when he crushes them it is to be expected, Tom Cruise beats them with pure skill that they did not see coming, he always goes into the fight as the underdog, badly outnumbered, that is what makes Cowards think they can win, that is why they try......and most people like to see the underdog win, conversely when the Man Mountain kicks ass, every one sees it coming, it's hard to think a gang of young Cowards would attack that and think it's gunna end well....but hey, it's just an opinion Have a great day
Cruise has been playing Maverick for over THREE DECADES, and CARRIED OFF playing Reacher ONCE. Reacher is described as 6'5" and us described as; 'having fists like a couple of turkeys', probably some of the greatest miscasting in HOLLYWIERD history.
@@georgemoore7186 I mean, who hurt you? People just prefer how the character is originally, like Alan's Reacher. You dont need to write an article to say that you like Cruise's interpretation of the character, but it is a fact, Reacher is a big dude, a MOUNTAIN of a dude, like Alan.
Really like the movie, the only problem is the antagonist. They do such a great job of creating a sense of dread, but the reveal is a damp squib. A company that builds stuff no-one needs? Just doesn't work. Needed more thought and fleshing out. The film around it is great though. Underrated.
Except Cruise is not Reacher. As you probably know, Reacher is based on some books and in those books Reacher is described as a 6'5 260 pound tank of a man.
@@Elthenar I know the reality though having worked in army intelligence. Cruise fits better what reality would be, as he is more of the grey man. The book seems to be wrote by someone that watched too many Hollywood movies, and no actual military experience.
Tom Cruise did a brilliant tole as Jack Reacher. Whilst, I like the Amazon series, Cruise looks more like a soldier; when he has his clothes on he looks "normal" but his wiring frame is akin to how a real soldier would look like. That and the fact most ppl like the underdog, makes Cruise an ideal Jack Reacher.
@@rampee1000 I agree that real soldiers are not often jacked 250 pound monsters. However, remember that Reacher wasn't really a soldier. He was military police. His primary role was to police soldiers, not fight alongside them. Obviously, he went through standard army training at a minimum but that is an important distinction.
for me, tom is reacher. no disrespect to the amazon casting but tom nails how reacher has this quiet intensity. like he doesn't take crap from anyone and is already 20 steps ahead of folks. evel lee childs said that tom has the aura of reacher, despite not being the same size. and honestly, i prefer it. maybe because i like guys like hutch, john wick and jason bourne. slimmer guys who can beat ass.
Why are most of these comments saying better than the books😅.... tbh you don't compare this version to the books, you compare it to the Amazon TV series After, when you realize that is better and more accurate all at the same time, there isn't a need to compare to the books at all anymore😅
I don't compare them at all. Never read books but I like this story better. Huge guy playing detective just does not have same impact. Big guy beating 4 idiots just makes him look like a bully. This version is much better. But liked season 1 series too. Season 2 was crap.
The only drawback is Tom Cruise is not a 6 footer. However, the subtle humour laced tough image - only he can pull off. Like our generation cannot separate Jeremy Brett and Edward Hardwicke from Sherlock Holmes and Dr. Watson, we cannot think of any other actor other than Tom Cruise from Reacher and Hunt.
i know most people prefers the amazon series because it is much closer to the character, but i like tom version more because it's more realistic. If jack reacher is a guy who travels a lot and eat what he can his physic is going to be like tom cruise, and not super buff like ritchson
@@cindydott452 lol u got issues. Some one that tall, buff and hulkish will always stand out. It's not natural. Tom how ever not accurate seems 'realistic'. I mean I won't mess with someone who looks like alan that's why amazon series feel unrealistic. Ofc some one of that size will fuck anyone up. Reacher to me is someone whom you hardly relate or think of as someone dangerous.
@@tejasviratmishra5168 That's the point of the character AS WRITTEN. Tom Cruise is nothing like the character in the novels. Besides, I don't like Cruise as an actor, and avoid his films.
@@kennethpaulsen5407 they gave him a team, I wanted the story to be centred on him, not concerned with his buddies. Season felt diluted since his team was able to do some of the "clever" stuff rather than it being Reacher solo against the world. Luckily s3 is gonna be that iiuc. And yes, policewoman was great. 💝

In the books, Reacher is a poor driver. He never had a proper driving education and test. hHe only learn it while in military and the instructor says he suck at it.
Only they cheat who wants something badly or if they are addicted to cheating. I have no addictions nor do you have anything that I would be remotely interested in. Ok?
I wish this clip just ended with a title card "The End". Because he never finds out. And, maybe, a few years later, after reconnecting with loved ones during a difficult time, he realizes the errors of his ways and breaks away from his past life.
Though Amazon version is good, but I too like Cruise as Reacher better... The idea of a "GHOST of a person" suits better with Tom Cruise for many reasons, The Amazon version is also good & enjoyed thoroughly, but I think it's too much noticable, talking, feeling, bulldozing through situations, getting provocated & fighting too easily for a character like this... it doesn't fit well or align with the Idea of a GHOST character... Well that's my opinion.. I hope I can make myself clear..
Saw the movie, huge fan of Tom Cruise in the role. Then I read the books and Reacher is supposedly a strong silent man who'll never shut up about how tough he is. It's like Forrest Gump-movie is SO MUCH BETTER because Tom is better than the books!
You’re in the minority there, mate. While Tom did nail the quiet intensity of Reacher, Reacher is most known for, besides his hobo lifestyle, being a giant who doesn’t speak unless necessary.
@@matthewcoates756 He "doesn't speak unless necessary" yet spends every book making snarky comments and acting superior to everyone else. He's such an insufferable character. You can't be the strong-silent guy who always has a witty retort.

We need more representation and diversity, not less.
To be fair, the author describes Reacher and tough non stop. Not like teacher himself of toothing his own horn repeatedly. He does that when he is about to lay the smack down.

At least he brought this caracter on screen and it was a good movie. Not many people knows reacher from the book that might also lower the viewer on amazon without massive publication
I've always loved that line "Excuse me sir, there's a Jack Reacher here for you".

I really like Cruise’s acting more than the Amazon series but I got to admit the actor is the series is more accurate.
One of the best character intro's and the look they give when she says he is there is priceless.

I thought it is refreshing that it just a bunch of gangsters doing infrastructure scam instead of the cliche gov or military conspiracy.
"Weird meeting you.", "Likewise." 🤣
Tom and Alan both do a great Reacher. 💙 T.E.N.
While Cruise doesn't have the physical appearance of Reacher from the books, Anne Rice didn't think he could be LeStat either but he owns both roles.
owned is a stretch..
walk to a bus station 3 miles away in 24 minutes? That is quite the speedy walk!
Was looking for someone to call that out
As much complaining as people do, coming from an army intell background, Cruise fits the role much better.

Agreed 🤝
Reacher can walk 3 miles in 24 minutes? That’s Chuck Norris like.
I used to be able to to that in my young stupid days.
Makes zero sense. I'd walk 4 miles an hour----pretty fast. I would take maybe 45 minutes to walk 3 miles.
