I used to like Cruise but when he started acting like a total tool I started to dislike him. I think I'll let him slide and I'll see this. I saw the first one, might as well see this one.

I like it. I like it a lot.
As for Tom Cruise, I have enjoyed his performance in just about every movie he has been in. His beliefs and actions outside of his profession don't discourage me from seeing his work.
I think it is safe to say that Top Gun (1986) and Aliens (1986) were both contributing factors to my enlistment in the military in 1990.

I know a lot of men think this way, yet they bash actresses for promoting feminism and then refuse to see their movies.
Scientology shouldn't get a pass, it actually enslaves its followers.

Not a fan of most organized religions and I use the term loosely in regard to Scientology.
That being said I separate the films from the man. As far as I know, being a Scientologist itself isn't a crime. If in a few years it comes out that Tom has been keeping a refrigerator full of severed human heads, I will reevaluate my opinion of him and his filmography.

The cute girl I took to see the 1st one back in college ... is now a 200lb+ grandmother. That's a lot of time between movies. Might have her crack out her Rascal & see if she wants to go to Maverick.

Despite being an aviation nut, private pilot, growing up with Fightertown USA in my backyard (flew some sims there one lucky day), I never got the appeal of that movie. Only movie I could ever stand Cruise in was Legend. I'm still waiting for
a great fighter pilot movie. Dunkirk had some moments in it recently.
I'll agree with some others, I don't care to feed an evil money cult's show pony movie star.
