I saw it yesterday and have to admit, I felt the delay was all Cruises' ego, it was worth the 2 year wait. VK's part is small and moving, but the interaction with "Rooster" was the most emotional part for me. Damn near cried when Goose died in the original and this brought it all back to deal with.

Saw it tonight with my youngest son, 23. My older ones didn’t want to go leaving the movie, son “what did you think of movie”?…. He says “ that was a great movie”!
Go see it!!!

May ruffle a few feathers here, but hopefully we can be brutally honest, and just agree to disagree.

FINALLY, after all this time, found something that Mitch and I DON'T have in common. (As a side note, we both had 54 Chevys as our first cars, are almost the same age, and seem to like almost all of the same vehicles.)

I thought the first one was really silly. I certainly hope we don't have anyone flying machines like that who are as arrogant as the a holes depicted in that movie. In fact, I stopped dating a girl in the early 90's after she told me "Top Gun" was the greatest movie of all time, and talked me into coming over to her house to watch it on video. Barf.

If the second one is "Not as "believable" as the original" as stated above, then I can already tell you, I am out.

Even though that was the end of me and what's her name, I won't stop being friends with you guys just because you like Top Gun or the sequel.

Eh, everyone has different tastes. I'm sure you like some movies I don't like, but who cares? It's irrelevant as it's just a movie. Cheers.

I had a good chuckle with your reply I seen the first one when I was 8 and then again a couple weeks ago. I thought it was awesome at 8 years old, I didn't even watch 15 minutes this last time...

I wouldn't hold any friends thoughts about a movie choice against them, future spouse yes.

We are watching the Saturday matinee as a family... we will see

Val Kilmer’s Top Gun: Maverick dialog was all AI since he can no longer speak

Its interesting watching the replies to a thread like this. It is an entertaining movie and perhaps even better than the original.

What gets me is the desire for a "manufactured realism". Long distance and sport flying is physically tough on the body, and managing the basics like body functions (while this is all going on) has to be (lets say) "preplanned".

If you know enough about planes to catch it -the thing that impressed me the most was the RWR tone in the tomcat.. its totally different than what in the Hornet and they nailed it. My guess is very very few people would notice or even care but it was a great touch.

The Box office is the final word, and that my friends is smashing records.
