I can’t wait! The movies are always fun to watch. It will be interesting to see if they can top the first one.
I don’t care what film it is, I will never watch another film with Tom Cruise in it. He’s someone who can literally kill with his words. If people that were easily influenced watched his rants about anti-depressants and other medications that help there mental health. Stopping those suddenly can cause an already fragile person drop into a deeper depression that could end in suicide. Others could be too embarassed to be truthful with their doctors when they are experiencing post pardum depression, bi-polar disorder, clinical depression, anxiety, and even psychopathic tendencies. Tom Cruise is a bi-sexual man that loathes the gay side of himself. He has never been to medical school and should never be trusted. Because of his accusations, manipulation, and lies about his personal life, I’d never suppot him in any way. I hope others don’t forget his rants and attacks and boycott anything he’s involved in. Let him hide behind his ridiculouscientology fairytales..
Agreed, Tom Cruise just need to stop.
