When asked about Cruise and the success of Top Gun Maverick, Rourke shared his thoughts:
>That doesn't mean s*** to me," said Rourke. "The guy’s been doing the same f***ing part for 35 years. I got no respect for that. I don't care about money and power. I care about, when I watch Al Pacino work, and Chris Walken and [Robert] De Niro's early work. Richard Harris' work, Ray Winstone's work. Monty Clift. Brando back in the day. And a lot of guys that just tried to stretch as actors… [Cruise] is irrelevant in my world."
Well Cinemaphile, is Rourke correct or is this the ramblings of a old has-been?

>one was in superhero comic book crap adopting paper thin characters
>other one consequently avoids these and produces own films with own characters
do I have to say which one I respect more
tbf he did play a unique role in it. He made it his own like DaFoe did. But yah I hear ya. It was a generic marvel villain of "x" movie that could be in any of the movies and he took the part for cash, so this statement doesnt hold much weight. It just looks like cope and seeth
why is my grandma on the news
He's upset Cruise got quality plastic surgeries and he didn't.
Kek this was my first thought as well. Rourke is in a wig. His face is fricked. He's like that party guy who was good looking his 20s but drugs and alcohol and bog pills ruined him
did he this guy died. ive seen the vid but holy shit at that screencap right there. imagine being alive in those moments
It's cgi
phew
that's obviously faked, post the real vid now coward
Are you moronic?
One has been bogged by the Lord, the other wears platform shoes.
What do you think?
>remember when i had whips and a russian accent in a disney marvel movie
I think early Ironaman movies were done by Paramount before they sold rights to Disney.
wasted
Correct. Iron Man was the first MCU movie but Disney didn’t own them yet. Why they had Iron Man show up at end of TIH movie because Paramount had the rights
>TIH movie
Huh? Someone please help, can't figure out this movie/acronym.
Nevermind, I figured it out 5 seconds after posting. Holy shit just write Norton's Hulk, I hate you people who abbreviate fricking everything.
The Incredible Hulk
still more of an acting stretch than anything Cruise ever did (not named Less Grossman)
Because Deniro definitely doesn't play the same character over and over
Or Pacino or Walken. They’ve been parodies of themselves for 30 years.
I really cant think of any actors with a completely stellar body of work. Some actors do amazing jobs in a role or character. But all actors have shitty performances if you go through their filmography. Was deniro stretching himself when he did rocky and bullwinkle? Did Walken really hone his craft in balls of fury? Pacino is probably the most consistent out of all of them. Mickey rourkes best performance was in Sin City. I like him but hes not reinventing the wheel.
>Mickey rourkes best performance was in Sin City.
The wrestler, angel heart would like a word.
Youre right I forgot about the wrestler. Havent watched it in years
He did say "their early work" when they actually had some diverse roles.
DeNiro never had that many "diverse" roles just different flavors of :C face going bada bing bada bang bursts of anger. The closest to him doing a thing was cape fear.

ugly franeinsteins monster seething hard.
his only good play is the wrestler since his mediocre cheap action flicks since the 90s.
his lame attempt at boxing a fluke match was the most miserable display of ego I have ever seen.
homosexual cant stop bogging and fricking with his face, wearing all those stupid wigs.
He can play horror monsters by now without any makeup. I lost every respect for this dude.

That guy on the left must be some kind of drug dealer or fixer. The very least like a professional entourage for hire kind of weasle. I've seen him around with multiple actors like Stalone and Schwarzeneger.

Did he give jonah a israelite fro with a mullet? Kek
Judging from the other shit I think he gave him a makeover which would eventually mutate in cowabunga surfer jonah hill.
Do people really need to pay 5,000 just to try something as basic as a swept back hair style? You can learn this shit in five minutes on google
Probably not but hollywood bullshit I guess. See and be seen or whatever. Like a good chunk of the fricks have been bald since forever. Imagine being a hair stylist bragging about the rock, jason statham, vin diesel, and mike tyson. Pretending he didn't just meet them once while they entered his shop because they had to take a piss. But then I suppose again, hollywood bullshit. It's just a status symbol thing, like look at me I paid 5k for a shave.
Thinking about it maybe it's a great place to gossip. I wonder if they actually spill the beans a little when he's with them.
>liam neeson pissed himself again have you heard, that poor guy *snip snip*
>I once gave Harvey Weinstein a hair cut, he tried to frick my intern so I had to lure him and his avocado dick away somehow *snip* I really do think you could play him jonah...
>a lot of these males are obvious plugs cases
WTF?????
how do you go from this to that?
He boxed, for a while, and took some real fricking bad hits. He didn't respect acting, and didn't respect himself for being a part of that scene so he set out to prove his worth another way. Dude is a Chad through and through, needed reconstructive surgery and it didn't turn out great but who gives a shit?
he got plastic surgery done before he boxed
Wrong.
My man he never was a real boxer he paid a bunch of bums to be his tomato cans and still got roughed up. I dunno what his issue is but whatever is going on guy is lost. Like he walks up to random fighters in their locker room and starts crying about "you go through so much maaaan *sniff* I get you I get you" and they look around in confusion going like who the frick is this as he tries to kiss them.
hard drugs, alcohol and hollywood plastic surgery can do a real number on you

i love the cruise but I can never get over the fact that he has one center incisor
Wow. I mean I liked the guy in Sin City and Angel Heart but... damn.
Ahahahaha fricking homosexual
>The guy’s been doing the same f***ing part for 35 years
>BUT AL PACINO IS AN ARTIST
Mickey Rourke seems like a fricking twat
Cruise’ filmography is less embarrassing than DeNiro and Pacino’s. Cruise hasn’t dropped as low as shit like Dirty Grandpa or Jack & Jill
Dirty Grandpa was fun to watch I bet De Niro had a blast making it. The guy's like 70 years old he's long since checked out
>I bet De Niro had a blast making it.
Didnt De Niro said he only make movies now because his wife spends all his money.
>Dirty Grandpa
This was just an excuse to fondle Aubrey Plaza's breasts
Plaza
breasts
Pick one
>ruise hasn’t dropped as low as shit like Dirty Grandpa or Jack & Jill
Because he's afraid of looking embarrassing. Pacino and De Niro give 0 fricks and want the paycheck.
I vont my bord
Tom Cruise did a few challenging roles. Like what he did with Magnolia. But either way the real accomplishment is his skill as a producer and so on. Dude knows his movies. Not a single bad one I can think of. Not one.
yes, indeed.
I mean compare it to Mickey. That guy has in been in more stinkers than good ones by now. He might be a good actor I guess but he doesn't make good decisions and accumulated enough sand in his mangina by now to mix to fill my concrete mixer.
Being a legit movie star, and his case literally the last real movie star, is harder than pulling off some Muh “look I’m acting” shit. If being a long lasting movie star was easy, every actor would be one. Think about it, Cruise outlasted Arnie, Stallone, Willis, Jim Carey, Will Smith, etc. Bet you when people are sick of The Rock, Cruise still be putting out at least one blockbuster
Everyone's already sick of The Rock
Helps being the public face of a cult, but his clock is ticking.
This is a valid and interesting point, but it doesn't change the fact that he's not actually a compelling actor. It's very impressive but not in the way that talented actors are impressive.
>my opinion matters more than the evidence of billions of dollars in ticket sales
Cruise outlasted Arnie and Sly but to be fair, I think that Arnie and Sly peaked significantly higher than Cruise as far as making iconic entertainment goes. More people will remember stuff like Rocky, Rambo, Conan, and Terminator than stuff like Top Gun. Which is no real criticism of Cruise of course, he's still a tremendously successful entertainer even if he's not in the top tier of mega-iconic stars.
People always forget he played Lestat and the douchey executive in Tropic Thunder.
Then he's also been in movies where the plot went off the wall, like Legend, Vanilla Sky, Eyes Wide Shut.
Plus, he really shows off his ability to sell emotion in Born on the 4th of July.
This is uniroically true
The Incredible Hippopotamus (The Mickey Rourke Story)
Alternatively:
The Incredible Hunk (starring Tom Cruise)
Was it Tom Cruise who played the lead role in the greatest movie of all time, The Wrestler?
No?
Didn't think so.
Cruise will be remembered as the Bogart of his time. Talked about 60 plus years after he’s dead
I know Tom Cruise, but I have no idea who Mickey Rourke is.
Sad life you lead there
"You're irrelevant", said the ant to the Elephant.
ESL being here
please do tellings who hte fcuk is Mickei Rürke? President of Disnie?
He was in The Wrestler, the Expendables, and Iron Man 2
Rourke is irrelevant in my world
Sounds like fricking cope. I have not seen Maverick and can barely remember Top Gun. Been ages.
Eveyone who takes parts in superhero movies have no glroy only ofc do it for money. They are aimed for 12yo kids not real movies. It's cancer of movie industry
Top gun maverick is decently good action clip, visually very good plot is kinda decent. It still much above average considering how bad 95% of action movies are nowadays
Jerry Bruckheimer as a producer is way above superhero dumb shittie producers it's clear. Bruckheimer also spotted Michael bay early days to do Armageddon, one of the
most talented directors in hollywood ever i think Joseph Kosinski have potential also
Shut up, homosexual. Al Pacino plays Al Pacino in every movie. Same for Christopher Walken. You watch their movies expecting them to act exactly like they do, as themselves.
Mickey rourke who "does not care" about money takes parts in MARVEL shit-coms that's fun one
Top Gun was much better than any marvel shitties ever will be
Just because something is shit, doesn't make the turd sitting next to it smell like roses. It did really well, so good for Cruise. But it is what it is: jingoistic cringe from an old man still trying to appear young, and stuck in the "we need to bomb everyone because we're the good guys, right? R-right?" mentality. It's kinda sad tbh. It's like watching someone go senile thinking it's still 1986.
He only got a 250k cheque as well
>Mickey Rourke
Surprise, motherfricker.
>Happy frickin' birthday.
Mogged
tbf before he bogged himself he was considered one of, if not THE sexiest man in hollyisraelite and could hold his own in this pic against these two
Not *the* sexiest, but definitely very sexy, especially for his persona. Those two were always seen as himbos, people talked about Rourke like he was the next James Dean.
he's correct. tom cruise is not an actor, he's a mediocre stunt guy.
>mediocre
even if he was just a stunt guy, hes certainly not mediocre
He played a fat israelite producer in Tropic Thunder, he can play mavericks till he dies after that, he can never top that.
The mission impossible movies the last 7 years have been the best action movies out there
Honestly it's really sad that there's no competition
>Mickey Rourke
Literally fricking who?
why, it's the correct ramblings of an old has-been, ofc
Mickey could tear that little preening homosexual apart with his bare hands.
who cares what he thinks?
cruise has 1 of the most diverse and impressive filmographies of actors alive rn
He's also a vaxxer sissy primadonna that throws fits when his diaper needs changing on the set.
>that throws fits when homosexuals try to get his movie shut down by not following the rules being imposed by the israelite money lenders
rourke is a homosex but post-collateral cruise is literally the one same character with that mouthbreathing of his and that le focused look in his spookshit and sci-fishit
only literal diapershitters like tom cruise
I WONT MOI BYRD
Based. Tom cruise is a homosexual and his movies are lame. The Wrestler is better than any movie cruise has ever been in.
Obviously he's correct because he's talking about Cruise's relevance to HIM, not to the industry.
>The guy’s been doing the same f***ing part for 35 years.
Top kek! Cruisebros BTFO!!
Cruise is like one of the few actors today you can't accuse of not having range. Dude has played almost every role under the sun and he's played them well
>Mickey Rourke
Kek. Doesn't he have a Halloween audition to go to?
He was the bomb in Thursday (1998).
wtf this scary fr
on god could be scarier than liminal spaces
The night HE came home!
He really should have stopped with the plastic surgery after 2008. Hollywood accepted him back and then he spent all that money to make himself look like a bizarro version of Hans from Zoolander.
>Face like that
>Criticising other people
Lel
I think Cruise is a good actor, Kubrick choose him for the role in eyes wide shut for a good reason, it was great performance.
And a very diverse movie portfolio, from pop blockbusters like wienertail or Top gun to movies like magnolia or minority report.
C'mon this is just absurd, not even Cruise fan here or Mickey fan either
He's right, but at the same time he is even more of a one note actor than tom cruise. So he soundslike an butthole when he talks shit about other actors when he is guilty of the same shit, but worse.
You guys can bash Rourke for his looks all you want, but he's unironiccally the best actor to ever live. His films are almost all elevated to such an extent by his performances that they're all worth a watch. Year of the Dragon, Pope or Greenwich Village, Angel Heart, even smaller stuff like Francisco. The dude is a legend. I don't like the mud slinging shit because I like Cruise, it's not something Rourke should engage in, but if anyone has the authority to comment on Hollywood and modern actors it's him.
>but if anyone has the authority
what a bad intake, people are so fricking pedantic with primitive brain ego
Rumble fish is also great.
Yup, I could name almost every movie he's been in save a few, Diner, Heavens Gate, all his work with Cimino was phenomenal, greatest pairing in film history. Rumble Fish was I think the first movie of his I saw, then as a kid I watched Harley Davidson and Marlboro Man like fifty times on tv
Mick, Mick, Mick, Mick, Mick... you're being glib.
>Al Pacino’s work
Literally who is this angry moron trying to fool? And Cruise’s filmography is better than every name he listed except maybe Brando.
pacino and de niro are literally the two worst actors you could pick for this horseshit. the doll hair has pierced this moron's skull.
He's right but he can't act either so he should shut up.
reminder to watch movies and don't listen to people opinions , thanks I hate cinema now , gonna start watching youtube and tik tok, same human bullshit anyway
Who the frick is Mickey Rourke?
Cruisehomos btfo
I think every actor ought to do at least one degrading role in their career.
Sounds just like what an old washed up loser seething probably would sound like
>Tom Cruise is irrelevant
>I am a real actor, I'm an important person
>why doesn't anyone pay attention to me?
>meanwhile Tom Cruise parties with the future King of England
you hate to see it
Women age like bad milk, men age like a fine milk
Tom Cruise is a young looking old man. Most milkmen age like women, Tom Cruise ages like a postman, who delivers wine
Most women age like specialist postmen who deliver milk, also known as milkmen. Tom Cruise ages like a postman who delivers wine, a wineman
It's real. Tom Cruise aged like a fine wine. The lady aged like a milk
Fine wine ages like a 56 year old cheese. Milk ages like a Tom
Tom Cruise looks 35 but is 56. When Tom was 32, he looked older than he does now, even when he played a man of 24. Now that he's 56, he could play a man of 68 who looks not a day over 44
Some cheeses get better with age. A 56 year old fine cheese ages better than a 2 year old regular cheese
28 regular cheeses ageing for 2 years will just about equal the amount of ageing of a fine cheese ageing for 56 years
Tom Cruise is 56 and has aged like a fine wine. Bela Lugosi stopped ageing in 1956, because he died
Tom aged like a fine wine, Cruise aged like a fine cheese
Tom Cruise died, but looks like he hasn't aged a cheese over 56. Milkmen age like woman wine
If a Tom Cruise opens a cheese, he's a master milk. If a woman's lock is opened by wine, she's a shitty cheese.
If Tom Cruise ages like cheese and leaves the station on a train travelling 56 mph, and at the same time Bela Lugosi leaves a milk station travelling in the opposite direction at 44 mph, and both stations are 56 years apart, how long before both trains age like a woman?
Tom Cheese was 56 years old when he first went on a cruise
When Tom Cruise received his first paycheck, the first thing he bought was a 56 year old hot cheese
When Tom was a 56 year old Cheese he aged like a cruise
The quantity of wine divided by how long the cheese takes to age like a fine Tom Cruise equals 56.
Tom Cruise's dick cheese is in fine underaged women
Tom Cheese goes cruising to look for young male milk
And the cheese goes to: Oscar Cruise
the wrestler is better than any of the shit cruise has been in
Nah
>[Robert] De Niro's early work.
>early work
De niro's sis why is rourke such a b***h?
He seems upset.
Cruise status: Unbruised.
He's not wrong and I like some of Cruise's movies
He has a somewhat tiny point, but he also became a boxer and jacked his face up. One of the most important things you need as an actor. So he is an idiot.
Finally, the Cruise menace ends today on Cinemaphile.
He's right. Tom Cruz is a one trick pony.
Rourke is an attention seeker who loves the attention. Of course he would say something as moronic as this
Has-beens should keep quiet. He just sounds really bitter.
mickey rourke throws half empty vodka bottle at tom cruise
Can’t bruise the cruise.
Cruise is fantastic in Collateral and Magnolia, but those two roles just seem like different shades of one vaguely sociopathic guy.
He'll always be "Tom Cruise" in my mind. But that's how I feel about De Niro and Pacino too, anyway. Brando is the only one in there who seems like a completely different person from role to role.
He's not sociopathic in Magnolia at all. Rewatch the movie
Most A list actors play themselves. That’s why they’re A list. Scripts are written around them, they’re used as references, they get paid well because you either get them or the obvious rip off of them. I like Rourke but he’s never been A list and he’s clearly grumpy about it.
Don't you remember the cult classical AAA movie Butch Malboro and the Harley Davidson Kid? It had one of the Baldwins.
and don johnson
there was a short stint in the mid 80's he could have been considered A list probably
> Mickey Rourke calling ANYBODY irrelevant.
what fricking rag would interview this has been ffs? who the frick would ever visit a website or but a magazine to see what this bogged freak has to say about anything?
I didn't know who Mickey Rourke was until this post
Not surprising. He's been finished for about 15 - 20 years.
t. Zoomer
t. millenial homosexual
Ray winstone lmfao
all i have to say is the wrestler is unironically one of the best movies ever made. so thats one thing no one can ever take away from the guy.

This is why you get no pussy, you gay moron.
Stupid frick.
>Google Mickey Rourke to find out who he is
>Was in a few movies I saw

I don't think he's the right person to call others irrelevant.
You lose.
>MUH BURRD
https://collider.com/top-gun-maverick-international-box-office-top-spot-75-million/
>irrelevant
I dno, kinda seems like calling Clint Eastwood irrelevant. Even though they're completely different actors both Cruise and Clint are superstars something which fewer and fewer people are able to achieve now.
Rourke as Vanko vs Cruise as Superior Iron Man when?
>when I watch Al Pacino work, and Chris Walken and [Robert] De Niro's early work
yeah, emphasis on the EARLY WORK
the VERY EARLY WORK
god he's such a bogged stupid homosexual. Just fricking fade off into obscurity you fricking brain damaged drug addict raisin.
seething
Brando was a fat junkie and this old homosexual needs to get over himself.
I'd probably like Cruise but I can't get past the Scientology, it's just hard for me to forget while watching him in movies that he is in this insane cult. As for his acting, I mean he's not some great actor but he's competent. And haven't Pacino, Walken, and DeNiro also become stereotyped for playing the same kind of roles over and over?
I watched The Wrestler a few months back and I thought it was flawless, Mickey was perfect for the role. And while I enjoyed Bar Fly he didn't capture Bukowski at all in my opinion, if he was just supposed to be some random drunk it'd have been fine. But I've seen way more Tom Cruise flicks and I haven't been disappointed once. At the end of the day I stop thinking about actors the second the movie is finished.
is this a new timeline? wtf are they doing at CERN on god i swear i thought Rourke died a few years after The Wrestler no cap fr fr
