2022 Directed by Joseph Kosinski
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.

In December 2020, a leaked audio snippet from the set of the next “Mission: Impossible” movie revealed star/producer/most intense man alive Tom Cruise absolutely losing his mind at some unnamed crew members who had, he felt, violated the COVID protocols that were allowing the massive studio production to roll cameras during the height of the pandemic. “We are the gold standard,” you might remember him shouting. “They’re back there in Hollywood making movies right now because of us… We are creating thousands of jobs, you motherfuckers!”
Cruise went on to note that he wasn’t interested in apologies: “You can tell it to the people who are losing their fucking homes because the industry is shut down. It’s not going to…
Yeah the flying is amazing and it has the most thrilling action finale I’ve seen in a blockbuster in years but honestly one of the most exciting things about this movie is that Tom Cruise finally made a movie that acknowledges he’s getting older
“The future is coming and you’re not in it,” Harris’ Rear Admiral Cole tells Maverick, warning him that one day soon the Navy won’t need pilots at all to fly its planes. “Your kind,” he adds. “is headed for extinction.”
“Maybe so sir,” Cruise responds. “But not today.”
At that point, it becomes clear that for Tom Cruise, Top Gun: Maverick is not just a cash grab or a chance for a middle-aged guy to relive his youth. Instead, Cruise appears to believe he has been called back to duty for maybe the most impossible mission of his career: To save the movies themselves.
Full review at ScreenCrush.
During the screening of TOP GUN: MAVERICK, a man in his fifties yelled out in what sounded like a fit of pure ecstasy during one of the aerial stunts. He sounded like he was being raptured.
I cannot wait for the dads of the world to experience this movie this summer.
TOP GUN: MAVERICK is miles beyond the first film in every conceivable way. Pays respect to Tony Scott’s original while forging its own path with blistering editing, thunderous sound & sweeping music. A big film with even bigger emotions that should be seen on the biggest screen possible. Tom Cruise’s movie stardom & daredevil efforts are perfectly calibrated & deployed for maximum entertainment.
Filme wie Top Gun: Maverick mögen vielleicht bald aussterben. Aber um es mit den Worten von Pete Mitchell zu sagen: nicht heute. Heute habe ich gelacht, geweint, schweißglänzende wie (unfreiwillig) parodistische 80er-Helden-Männlichkeit gefeiert, überlegte Nostalgie genossen und ob der beeindruckenden Kampfjet-Action gestaunt. Weil dieses Requel fast immer weiß, wann es die Bremsklappen ausfahren, richtig Schub geben und Zuschauerluken auf den Boden knallen lassen muss. Weil diese widersprüchliche Mischung aus Ballast-Befreiung, Retro-Fest und State-of-the-Art-Spektakel so gut funktioniert. Und weil dieses Heldenkino einfach so ausgeführt wird, als hätte es die letzten 36 Jahre nie gegeben. War schön.

Es ist ein bisschen als wäre die Zeit stehen geblieben: Männer sind hier noch durchweg gut gebaut, verwegen und einfach krass, Frauen lächeln hübsch ins Bild und schmachten ansonsten die Kerle an. „Der Feind“ bleibt als ominöser Konfliktherd unbenannt. Könnte alles und jeder sein, ist aber nunmal auch egal, weil es ja ohnehin nicht um das „Wer“ oder „Warum“ geht, sondern allein um das „Wie“.
So war das damals, 1986 im ersten „Top Gun“, so ist es jetzt glatte 36 Jahre später wieder. Die pathetische Musik dröhnt, alle sind hübsch und weil sie ständig im Sonnenuntergang stehen, sieht alles wie in einem Werbespot für den US-Militärapparat aus. „Top Gun Maverick“ übernimmt aber nicht nur die schlichte Oberflächlichkeit…
The sheer STRESS of watching the third act of this movie probably gave me a few grey hairs. It's miles better than the original. I said what I said.
Never thought I'd be this moved by a sequel to a film I don't even like all that much. Third viewing. Seen at AMC Empire.

I’m just glad the Asian-Americans got invited this time. No need to give them any prominent roles or anything, just cool to include them at all.
