Brad Pitt or Tom Cruise -- who's the better actor?

Am not going ga-ga over anyone, but uhmm lemme see.. with the acting prowesses, I'd have to go with Tom Cruise, but for me Brad Pitt is so much hotter. LOL just my opinion =)

Brad Pitt, all the way. He has stretched his acting limits by playing such diverse roles while Cruise has pretty much played the same character in every role. Plus, Cruise is a nut job.

I have seen most movies with Tom Cruise. I don't think he is that great as an actor. He mostly play himself like most actors. And as he has not changed much physically along the years... I am a bit tired of him. The novelty was cute in the first 10 years... but now he lacks the maturity that you would expect from a 40 year old. Brad Pitt is not yet as big in status. Most of the publicity he has received was more for its good looks than for its work. But I did like him in the "Ocean's" movies and in "Troy". The difference is that with Tom Cruise... you only see Tom Cruise. But with Brad Pitt... you see the character he plays rather than Brad Pitt. Same with Jennifer Aniston. In every movie... you only see Jennifer Aniston... not the character. Nicole Kidman on the other hand can act... and you see the character.

I am definitely of the same opinion with you. I would grade Tom Cruise better. He has made a pictures of a variety of stories and have acted perfectly in the roles he was playing.
