Thought there was a thread, couldn't find though.

Checking this out tomorrow and I fully expect it to be even cheesier than the first film with the expected plot of Goose's son hating Maverick and then he has an epiphany and Maverick becomes like a father figure and I just don't care.


Top Gun: Maverick

After more than thirty years of service as one of the Navy's top aviators, Pete Mitchell is where he belongs, pushing the envelope as a courageous test pilot and dodging the advancement in rank that would ground him. -snip


60yo fighter pilots, f**k ya.

Will be closeted as ****. Funny stuff coming.

TBF, it's been far too long since we've had a overly aggressive closeted gay-men fighter pilot film.

Seriously, how long has it been since a North American fighter pilot experienced real combat against another enemy pilot? What war would it have happened in? Seems like all the U.S. air force is bomb civilian targets and fly away, just like every other air force in the world.

When Tony Scott was still alive and looking to make a sequel to this, he was looking at drone pilots because they really do the work now. What if they had followed that angle.

I will be extremely curious how this gets responded to, since it seemed no one was asking for it.

I'd guess 1990-1991 against Iraq.

Don't really give a mouse shit about it.
^^^I've seen every Tom Cruise movie at least 12 times.

Except Lions for Lambs.
My eyes started bleeding. Bleeding.

im certainly thinking of seeing this but it'll be the second week

I just can't think of the first movie without thinking of Quentin Tarantino's hilarious deconstructionist rant about it.

Gonna have to rewatch the original film in preparation, preferably with the girlfriend out of the house. It's going to be embarrassing cleaning up the couch afterwards anyways.

Link doesn't work for me, but it's from Sleep with Me (1994) and it's funny.

Been seeing that this sequel has been getting good early reviews

as for the first movie, I too have never seen it.

Maybe making it without Jerry Bruckheimer and Tony Scott means it will be less cliched and deeper.

Movie of the year. Tremendous stuff. Exactly the right amount of nostalgia and cheese. Great new characters, great chemistry. Proper shameless, feel-good ending. 10/10. Loved it.

Why in the f**k do I have to wait another 3 days while the Scots get it today. This is America!

Because this is God's country.

Film is amazing. Better than the original.

Pretty much this^

Though not sure about "movie of the year", have to think about it, but this was much, much better than expected.

Found myself surprised how much the story kept me sucked in. The camera shots with the camera on or inside the jets were some of the best, if not the best. Highly recommend.

Loved it
The flight scenes were great and the sound design was killer too

I was surprised by the great reviews, so I checked it out yesterday. It's really good, despite becoming pretty predictable by the end.

So, I'm eating a bit of crow this morning.

Haven't seen yet, but hope it doesn't go down the path of deconstructing the "fly by the seat of your pants" archtype.

I don't want to hear why Captain Kirk was never good.

^^^Thats a little deep!

Superb film 9/10

Loved this movie, even looked past the fact that the climax mission is an actual copy/paste of the Death Star run in ANH 😂😂😂 9/10 for me

P.S. Make sure you see this one in the D-Box seats!! worth the price of admission!

Went to the drive-in for this one, lots of fun. Good crowd to enjoy it with. Also really enjoy the way they utilized Val Kilmer

this movie is a box office juggernaut, almost 800 million

Is this the most important film since Iro Man, the one that shows it doesn't have to be films about Fast Cars and Family or Superhero films with three fights, two which the hero/heroes usuall now as it's all about the "team up" win to be successful?

Top Gun's going to break the billion dollar mark most likely.

Lol...

0X8RB4i0HyQ He's not wrong in the sense that this is a giant marketing tool for the US military and another "America! F**K! YEAH!" film, but it's still a super fun film.

So relax, Bill, try to enjoy the entertaining film.
