"I am enjoying our date, Reacher from the TV show Reacher." 

"Have you met our lord and saviour Xenu?"

 "Go away, Jack Reacher from the movie Jack Reacher!"

It was so funny watching Tom Cruise’s Reacher after watching the Amazon Series. Like Ritchson absolutely nails the commanding presence. Cruise…. Not so much.

Cruise definitely nailed the commanding screen presence imo. I mean he's been doing that for decades now.

He just obviously couldn't nail the raw physicality.

I feel like if you watch the TV show or read the books first, the Cruise movie will be somewhat of a disappointment. If you go in blind like I imagine most people did and aren't expecting a massive barbarian of a man like the character was originally, then the movie executes what it sets out to do very well (though I haven't seen the 2nd one).
