Top Gun: Maverick currently 96% RT and 81/100 Metacritic; critics are raving

[Im Still Ballin]

Being described as the best blockbuster action film in years.

Thrilling, moving and gloriously Cruisey, Joseph Kosinski's sequel to the 1986 hit is unquestionably the best studio action film in years.

-Robbie Collin, The Telegraph

Top Gun: Maverick improves upon the original in every conceivable way, and does so in a way that might make this one of the greatest sequels ever made.

-Ross Bonaime, Collider

The new film improves on the old one in every respect. The story is cleverer and more gripping, the dialogue is sharper and funnier, the relationships are richer, the aerial stunts are more likely to make you queasy.

-Nicholas Barber, BBC

Top Gun: Maverick is a rare sequel that is not only better than the original but retroactively makes Top Gun's story altogether deeper.

-Ben Kendrick, Screen Rant

Hardly anything in Top Gun: Maverick will surprise you, except how well it does nearly all the things audiences want and expect it to do.

-Peter Debruge, Variety

Neither Tom Cruise nor Maverick may be in the future, but that will have to be the future’s loss.

-David Ehlrich, Indiewire

Cruise presides over some surprising differences from his first outing as the navy pilot hotshot in a film that’s missing the homoerotic tensions of the 80s original

"You want subversion.... on a massive level."


QT giving us truth in the form of a joke.... but it's really not that much of a joke,... it's the truth.

Watched it yesterday. Without going into spoilers, I will say it was a very good movie. I was impressed with the whole experience. Good script and doing all that with no cgi was pretty cool. Lots of homages to the original Top Gun was well done without making you groan lol. I think this was better than the original Top Gun, which I don't usually say about sequels.

8.5/10.

That was a great ending

[SATAN]

Turned it off after about 10 minutes. It looked insanely cheesy.
