He's no great actor, but he never gets in the way of the movie he's in. Is it just his ridiculous Scientology crap and Katie Holmes garbage that makes him such a joke all of a sudden? Or has everyone here detested him like a sickness* since All the Right Moves?

I think that it is his recent wackiness -- it seems like in the last two years or so he has gotten weirder. It seems like he has been a nutjob ever since the divorce from Nicole Kidman, when all he would say about it was an evil-sounding "Nic knows why I am leaving her."
I think that he's a decent actor. I hated "Minority Report" but not because of him. I also hated "Eyes Wide Shut" and "Vanilla Sky" for reasons other than their Cruiseishness. I just saw "The Last Samurai" on DVD, and I kinda liked it.
