@thetimes: Tom Cruise fails spectacularly in Digger — this is why. The megastar flattens every scene of Alejandro G Iñárritu’s garish film with his hammy performance as an older, obnoxious oil tycoon. It was bound to happen. After nearly two decades of being glazed by chat show hosts into believing that his brief latex-covered cameo as the obnoxious Les Grossman in Tropic Thunder was the pinnacle of 21st-century cinema, Cruise has resurrected the fat suit and the shouty theatrics for an entire film, this time as the “hilariously” obnoxious oil tycoon Digger Rockwell. #tomcruise #cinema #movie #acting #review

Critics are just so miserable. So tired of their opinions. It’s a great poignant movie. Tom is incredible and we are the problem.

I feel the job of film critic needs to be shelved. No body trusts or believes or respects them. Pompous and pretentious waffle most of the time.

Tom Cruise had the performance of his life, proving he is a master character actor. One of his best performances aside from Tropic Thunder and Magnolia

How have the critics straight up missed the point of the movie. You would have to be asleep to gather that the real enemy was the average consumer

This sounds more like character assassination of the actor & not the film. I think Tom cruise has made some of the best cinema of our generation. Ridiculously entertaining cinema but this guy seems to just be pissed at him as a person

If recent history has taught me something is that the opinion of film critics on social media is worthless crap, they are wrong 99.99% of the times.
