@BookBabe & I are at the movies to see the next Jack Reacher movie! Tom Cruise should never have been chosen to play him (Dolph Lundgren would be my choice, hello!), but I'm too big of a JR fan to miss this 😊. Got a Coke Icee this time, but my favorite is the Blue Raspberry one. Anyone see this movie yet?
BookBabe 😊 8y
Cinfhen Love your choice of snacks ❤️😋👍🏻 8y

JSW Agreed re Tom Cruise!! I imagine Peter Coyote. 8y
Melkyl We went to see Dr. Strange today. It was very entertaining. I was hooked the entire time. 8y
Reviewsbylola Enjoy! 8y
DrexEdit @MrBook i couldn't agree more about Tom Cruise. I haven't seen any Reacher movies because of that. Color me spoiled but at least Dolph Lundgren would have been the right size! 8y
ClairesReads Just went to see it on Monday, I totally agree re Tom Cruise- such a poor choice! What did you think of the film? I wasn't super impressed with all the significant changes they made from the novle 8y
Alfoster Films ok, but LOVE the books📚📚📚! 8y
Kaylamburson Omg that popcorn looks so good!! 🍿 and I want rasinettes now, too!! 8y
BookBoggart I haven't read the books. As an avid movie goer I prefered the first one. I found this new one, lacking. 8y
Kappadeemom #TinyTom is NOT Reacher' 8y
fmcgeough Yeah. Tom Cruise wrong but I don't know any known actor that fits. The physically imposing beast of a guy combined with insightful intelligence and wit is hard to cast. 8y
wintercherry I always imagined Reacher more like a younger Liam Neeson. 8y
Readingrobin We enjoyed the film. Easier for me since I've never read it and I can't stop being a fan of Tom Cruise. 8y
yayeahyeah I liked the film a lot - great pace! I don't mind Cruise, despite him being nothing like Reacher is described in the books. 8y
MrBook @Cinfhen All @BookBabe 's ☺️👍🏻. @Sarahr875 Where the heck do you live 😜😂?! @JSW 😊🙌🏻!!! @Melwilk Ooh, that looks good 😊👍🏻! @Reviewsbylola Thank you 😁! @DrexEdit 😎👏🏻🙌🏻👍🏻👌🏻!! @ClairesReads I think it is around 90% different from the book. I prefer the book in this case because of the character differences and the plot worked better for me in the book. This movie was very Bourne-esque for me. Good action, but disposable. 8y
MrBook @Alfoster 😁👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻🙌🏻!!! @Kaylamburson Then my job here is done 😂😎👌🏻! @BookBoggart I can understand that 😊👍🏻. Both installments have their own merits, the first having more of a fresh aura about it. @Kappadeemom 😁👏🏻🙌🏻! The JR franchise of movies would have been perfect for a fresh face to make his mark in the Hollywood cannon, much like Bond did for Connery. To bad, right 😕? 8y
MrBook @fmcgeough In terms of size, age, general demeanor, and ability, I agree with you completely 😊👍🏻. Perfect opportunity squandered for one of the thousands and thousands of members in the Guild to show us what can be done via a fresh face *sighs*. @wintercherry I can see that 😊👍🏻. @Readingrobin TC is a fine actor, no doubt about it. When you read the books, you'll have a fresh story each time, lol, kind of like Bourne for me after the movies. 8y
MrBook @yayeahyeah It's a great pace, and intense, I agree! The beginning was fantastic! LC has a point in that film and book are two different mediums, but when one becomes endeared to a character and the series, one can't help but grimace with a critical eye, lol. Can you imagine the protesting that would have ensued has the Harry Potter movies veered an inch from the books though? Obviously, the medium-transition can be done and done well. 8y
LaurenAsh Totally agree about Tom Cruise! When I heard that casting choice I was like, 'huh?' 🤔 8y
ClairesReads Yeah I totally agree- I thought it would be quite a good movie because I liked the plot of the novel so much- they totally butchered it 8y
Sarahr875 @MrBook a tiny town in Utah 😂 our theatre is locally owned and needs some help. 8y
minkyb I am in love with Jack Reacher. I am also in love with Tom Cruise in most movies. But he isn't Reacher and the whole time I'm sitting watching the movies that is what I am thinking. SO, I'll just stick with the books. 8y
Procrastireader I don't have a problem with the book/movie height differential. I like Cruise in the role--he has a great balance of intensity and humor that suits the character. I also haven't read this book yet, so I won't be offended by changes. After I vote Tues, it'll either be this or Dr. Strange--or maybe both! 8y
MrBook @LaurenAsh ???! @ClairesReads So totally different ? *sighs*. Why attempt to make a wagon wheel rounder, ya know? @Sarahr875 Ohh boy ☺️! @minkyb Can't blame you one bit. He did the left-eyebrow arch thing in just about every scene in the movie, and that's all he's got. Give me a 6'5" Clint Eastwood any day in Reacher's role. @Procrastireader ???! Want to see Dr. Strange too! 8y
