Critical response section is far too long

The "Critical response" section seems to be written by someone who didn't understand WP:NOT - specifically, that Wikipedia is an encyclopedia, not an indiscriminate collection of information. I've never seen another film article that has even a quarter the number of review by critics that are in this article. Reviews from perhaps the most important half-dozen or so critics should be included, and the rest of the information should be deleted. -- John Broughton (♫♫) 03:55, 12 November 2018 (UTC)

John Broughton, I concur. Go ahead and cut it down. I believe the editor who wrote this article is gone. Erik (talk | contrib) ^{(ping me)} 13:48, 12 November 2018 (UTC)

No one did anything to shorten the section. So I took a stab at it. Still needs a lot of work to make it more coherent, so that rather than going critic by critic, it better addresses the bigger points like the perceptions that the there was no chemistry between the stars or that Cruise by force of will manages to keep the whole thing going.

I wouldn't say it's a good film but it's action packed and undemanding and I've found myself watching it in TV repeats more than I care to admit. -- 109.78.204.92 (talk) 14:50, 4 September 2021 (UTC)

Revert

An editor made this revert, citing NPOV. But there is no NPOV issue here. Please explain further. --2603:7000:2143:8500:9908:4467:7D2D:5F71 (talk) 04:40, 19 February 2021 (UTC)

The editor obviously thought it was non-neutral (and possibly pejorative) to refer to Roger Friedman as a "gossip blogger" rather than a journalist. The Wikipedia article for Roger Friedman does call him both a "journalist and gossip blogger" but notice that it does put journalist first. Journalist is a more neutral description.

It isn't relevant in this context to highlight that he is a gossip blogger, what is relevant in this case is only that Roger Friedman was writing for The Hollywood Reporter, that's where his perceived authority to comment is coming from. There's really no need to either talk him down by calling him a "gossip blogger" or talk him up by calling him a "journalist". -- 109.78.202.99 (talk) 15:50, 10 September 2021 (UTC)
