I just got back from seeing it (early showing with my brother...he's a manager at a movie theater). Spielberg and John Williams...hmmm it MUST be a great movie. FALSE, unfortunately. Tom Cruise, as much of a psycho path that he is, did really well in the movie in my opinion. The music was almost non-existent; it wasn't until atleast 30mins into the film that a single note was played. The ending was THE WORST ever. I won't say any spoilers, but you'll agree that it's pretty gay.
I know it's based off of the book, but some things need to be added or altered a bit when making a movie. There are sooooooo many things that are left unexplained that it pisses me off.
Right up to the ending, I'd rate it a 6/10 for Cruise's acting which boosts the score. The ending, well that killed my rating. At the final scene, I'd rate it a 4/10.
