Ok, we've covered the unders, time for the overs.

Who stinks but just keeps showing up over and over again in starring roles?

I can't stand Mark Wahlberg. He annoys me to no-end. Between his tough guy act, and his fake-ass-accent, he keeps my cash out of his pocketbook, literally.

I say Tom Cruise is incredibly over rated. I prefer Brad Pitt over him any day because his roles are more varied. He was awesome in Snatch and Fight Club. Cruise has to always be the hero.

True, with the exception of one film: Collateral. Collateral got me off of Cruise's back. He showed a lot of versatility there, and I wouldn't be surprised to see him take a bit more risk in the future. In fact, I'm certain that following the conclusion of the filming of Mission Impossible 3, Tom will begin taking some more deviant roles.

cruise always has to be the hero? what about vanilla sky? he wasnt a hero in that

i say will smith....why do i say will smith? because 99 percent of the movies he does are the same movie, with a different title...everything has to do with aliens or science fiction...

and hitch wasnt funny to me at all

either him or vin diesal

I forgot about Vanilla Sky, been a while since I've seen that one.

Hitch wasn't that bad to me, but maybe I was just distracted fromt he story by Eva Mades. She is nice!

Vin Diesel should stick to all the action movies because those are the ones that suit his persinality best not like in his new movie the Pacifier!

It's gotta be the Bladwin brothers... They're just handsome, period...

I agree about Vin Diesel and that he should stick to only making action movies. The movie pacifier was meh, nothing special.

And Tom Cruise is probably the most overrated actor.

Tom Cruise easily. I don't think he's a bad actor tho. He's good.
