Nope, I hate Tom Cruise and refuse to watch anything he is in.
He is a terrible actor that in most cases butchers the role that was given to him..
Well, Except "Top Gun", Top Gun was pretty good...

I judge movies solely on their merit and Oblivion was pretty damn good.

says it's a bad movie so I'll probably not watch it. Given the former, however, I think that that's how ME3 should have ended
I don't always agree with his opinion, but when he spoiled the movie I had guessed most of it from just watching the 2min trailer for the movie.
The problem is that "looking back" and thinking this is how something else should have ended is a double edged sword for that premise works for the movie, but might not for what you are comparing it too. Its like how I feel about Dark Knight Rises, if it wasn't a Batman movie I don't think the ending would have annoyed me so much because I have an image of how Batman operates and the ending to the movie wasn't anything like the mythos I had created and interpreted from all the other versions of Batman I have read and watched over the years.

Oblivion was a pretty solid movie but really I can watch/read any form of sci-fi and think "that's how ME3 should have ended" so there's really no reason to single out Oblivion.
Truth of the matter is ME is bottom of the barrel when it comes to sci-fi simply it started out so promising and tackled so many interesting concepts, only to then prove that the writers had no idea what they were doing at all. How many trilogies do you know where the second installment is the highlight of the series and the third just takes a complete dump over everything?
Well maybe Terminator. But even T3 cannot be compared to ME3.

Yeah I just finished watching it for the first time, and that is EXACTLY what i thought. Hence why i came to this forum and searched "oblivion tom cruise" and found this post.

Like Eain more or less expressed, Oblivion's ending didn't contain anything particularly unique. It was a pretty standard "good guys win" scenario. That said, even something as trivial as that would've been preferable to the last plot twist of Mass Effect 3 (although the ideal would've still been a unique ending that just fit a lot better with the story).
You have to see beyond who he is as a person. Maybe Tom Cruise himself isn't to your liking, but you owe it to yourself to watch any of the following movies: Magnolia, Collateral or Vanilla Sky. If you still feel he's a terrible actor, your prejudice is getting in the way of great movie experiences and that's a shame.

When I saw the title I was hoping you meant Shepard turned into a dragon and banished the Catalyst (and all Reapers) from existence.
Now I'm sad.

We are. We're merely interspersing the ideas of Mass Effect with one of the other most famous RPG series around. Unless there's some embargo (I really don't know if there is, in which case, I apologize) on mentioning other series in the same topic.
