The flight sequences will make your jaw drop and the rumbling of the engines of those jets will stir your souls. This is an extremely simple but decent drama as well and of course Tom Cruise, Miles Teller, and Jennifer Connelly in particular really gives you the feels. Joseph Kosinski I think will finally be able to get multiple films to direct WITH A GOOD script after this one after Only the Brave disappointed financially. He directs the character scenes with a very nice touch and I especially loved the extended bar sequence where we get to meet the pilots. Although not as good as the last three Mission: Impossible movies in my opinion, this is another winner from Tom Cruise.… Expand

This movie has an incredibly diverse cast, with all the accompanying bells and whistles, and without any of the conceited, self-serving pretense of modern woke culture. Top Gun: Maverick presents the argument that any man, woman or person of color is capable of excellence without sacrificing plot, contriving script, or assassinating character. It does so without any need to present the female in the guise of a male in order to elevate her, and without the need to crucify the male lead in order to satisfy a resentful audience. What is most admirable about this movie is how it delivers on incredibly human themes that are vital, now more than ever before, to our current culture. Screen writers Ehren Kruger, Eric Warren Singer, and Christopher McQuarrie seamlessly present extremely important themes such as selflessness, confidence, how to take a woman’s breath away, and how to create enduring friendships forged in competition. It even dares to present Commander “Iceman” Kazansky in a rather female light, as a patient, supportive, and compassionate authority. Take that, intersectionality! Family members of the enlisted will appreciate how director Joseph Kosinski does his very best to relay the incredible depth of feeling and emotion that is saying goodbye to a loved one that is headed into battle. All of this while developing a flawed protagonist who struggles to overcome his demons and deliver the best man he can be. "Top Gun: Maverick" is a true hero story, the likes of which we grew up on, and one that will inspire endless generations to come.… Expand

They opted not to green screen the action just because it was hard to shoot paid off. You can almost see the green screen in most of today's movies because the directors, actors, and audience have gotten lazy. This movie finally breaks that expectation and returns you to a more believable experience.

The writing is excellent but not perfect. They could have explored the relationship between Maverick and Penny a bit more. Instead, it feels like an afterthought.

What's amazing is that they honored the original and improved on it. Maverick will go down as one of the greatest sequels ever made.… Expand

The call backs to the original film, like the shirtless ball game, were pretty lazy but overall a great movie. It captured the excitement of the first film well, and provided great escapist entertainment for a few hours. Well done.

It has no originality and will not to capture the imagination of a new generation. I do not think there will be any fun moments emulated and cemented into pop culture like the original had. In fact all those moments are simply recreated in the new movie.

The script and story is sub-par (no memorable lines) and I didn't feel any emotion for the characters. One area where they seemed to spend a lot of time and money is in the aerial cinematography and actually flying the actors while being filmed, and all you see as far as online reviews go is real-world pilots being asked to rate the flight scenes on their realism. Ok, great. But that doesn't for a good film make! I just wouldn't care to watch it again. I feels like Top Gun original meets "Iron Eagle" (from a story and acting perspective) + "Star Wars IV" (for how they essentially copied the destruction of the Death Star scene as the finale and highlight to the action).

There was no magic or chemistry between the actors, nor the intensity of the scenes like the original.
The music is recreated to a large degree and that's ok, but I'll take the grainy and raw cinematography of the original with it's creative use of scoring and editing and close up shots over this remake any day.

It is entertaining as a fun action movie, if you don't compare it to the Tony Scott original, ignore the cringeworthy premise of the "mission" they are training for and don't count the many scenes, shoe-horned into the movie, for the sake of nostalgia. Basically completely forgettable.… Expand
