Meh the first movie wasn't anything special so really could care less about watching a sequel.

I think Mena will be pushed ahead for Late 2016 while Jack Reacher 2 will likely get a 2017 release.

I just want to see who they grab to direct MI6. Would love to see someone like Nicolas Winding Refn tackle the franchise and dear god bring back Rebecca Fergenson!!!

After Edge of Tomorrow and Mission: Impossible 5, I am officially a Tom Cruise fan. It's not that his acting is deep or anything, but he's likeable and you get behind his short ass. When I was a kid in the 90s I didn't get the fuss, but his appeal is different now anyway because he's older and can't just rely on his looks anymore.

I remember when he and Nicole Kidman split...I was as shocked as anybody. Why the heck did he let Katie Holmes go? I wish I had his life.

I recomend you guys read some Jack Reacher Novels. He is an awesome hero. Especialy for comic book nerds like us. Persuader was my favorite but Never Go Back was good to. Cruise was solid in the first movie allso he is defenetly to short ;) I´m in on a second run.

I've been a Tom Cruise fan since I saw Mission: Impossible as a kid. That movie really started the love I have for movies, sci-fi (coause of the tech...I was a kid, what) and espionage shit. That movie had it all. Caper, action, tech sci-fi, humor it was a blast. That movie, Star Wars and when I saw the Matrix the first time. Those three movie experiences are the most vivid I have from when I was like 10.

The [frick]ing red light green light shit and sticks the gum on the helicopter... I mean cmon!! Shit was [frick]ing awesome! I saw that and I was like this mother[frick]er is the coolest. Blew up a damn copter flying in a tunnel attached to a speed train with a stick of gum. GTFO. I was done. I must have rewatched that shit like a thousand times as a kid.

Tom Cruise is 5ft 7.75in (172 cm) according to celebheights.com
http://www.celebheights.com/s/Tom-Cruise-3.html

I would guess he is more like 170-171 cm.
He's not a midget.

Jesus, i have like 169 to 171 (i would need to check it out).



I guess "the midget thing" started once he ended being married to Nicole Kidman. She remarked "Now I can wear heels again", saying that she was a couple of inches taller than him. She is 5ft 10.5in (179 cm).

Also the site reports that in 1988 Cruise himself was telling he was 5,9 (175cm).
He was quoted saying
"I have always been pretty much the same weight, 147 pounds - at 5 feet 9 inches."

I don't think he's a midget more average height, but having read the books the role was poorly cast.

To be fair to TOm Cruise I have enjoyed the MI films, Edge of Tomorrow and even Day and Knight.

Gusto already had his shot at stardom when he appeared as the leading man in "Jack Reach around".

I thought the first one was rad. Stoked for the sequel.

Why is there this disdain for short guys? Race & Sex get called out for fair treatment so height challenged people deserve respect too. Tom Cruise has been making great movies for a long time,get over it haters.

I'm not short,I'm pretty much 6 feet tall..that's not real tall but I only feel short when I'm around my best childhood friend who is 6'8" & my best bud now is 6'4". They are good guys but the friends & guys I know my height & shorter have always been better athletes,more agile & physically confident.

I'm sure Tom Cruise has had the short stigma all his life & it may be a factor into why he's so driven as an actor & doing many of his own stunts. More films from him is welcome.

Jack Reacher in the books is some big ass military looking dude and I hated the Tom Cruise casting, but after watching the movie, I was sold. Great underrated movie.

I saw the first movie, it was very bland to me. Hopefully this one is better.
Its just that Jack Reacher in the novels is more along the lines of Marv in Sin City and Tom Cruise does not fit that profile. Hopefully, the new movie adds a bit of John Wick / Equalizer action in there.

I haven't read the books but enjoyed the movie. Bring on the sequel.

The thing about Tom in the Jack Reacher role, well of course he doesn't match the size of the character in the books, but to be fair the author Lee Childs was very happy with Tom's presentation of him in the film. If the author's OK with Tom in the role, then I'm cool with it.

I agree with nenured, comic book nerds will love the reacher novels. Read them all. Very pissed they cast cruise, but after watching he did a great job.
