Movie Top Gun: Maverick

[Crimson Azure]

Couldn't find a thread in the search so thought I'd start one for it.

Has anyone seen it? It's getting great reviews.

 

[Punchy Bassett]

Keen to hear some no spoilers reviews!

 

[King Elvis]

Saw it yesterday.

******* awesome.

Nostalgia, action, humor - it's perfect.

Will go again next week

 

[The Sultan]

Saw it the this arvo, was pretty good wasn’t a huge fan of the original. Lots of similarity to the first and plenty of throw backs … best seen in cinema or on big screen with good audio set up

 

[jackn]

Was amazing. There won't be a better cinema experience this year and hasn't been one as good for some time. Some parts that were a bit silly but I'll be seeing it again soon.

 

[joelsyt]

Just got out of a showing for this. Enjoyed it thoroughly. Tonnes of fanservice….Danger Zone still an awesome song all these years later! I definitely think it’s one I’ll watch again.

 

[Geelong_Bisons_#36]

Going to see this at midday today.
Am pumped for it.
Has been a long wait thru Covid for this to finally be released.

I feel the need, the need for speed

 

[Geoffa32]

Just got back from seeing it.

Great movie.


I liked they didn't play up the romance storyline too much. Original movie the romance (sex scene in particular) was cringey. Would love to see an edit with that entire storyline taken out.


The jet scenes were phenomenal.

absolutely loved it. The opening was brilliant.

 

[buttsauce]

Saw it tonight. Enjoyed it but people in the audience continually coughing. Ffs is you’re sick stay home.

 

[Trucker Tiger]

Jon Hamm was a weak link but otherwise OK.

 

[Punchy Bassett]

That was way better than it had any right to be

 

[BuddysBiggestFan]

Haven’t see this advertised or read anything about it, is it new?

 

[juss]

These days (COVID + streaming) I don't really watch many movies in the Cinema, maybe 2-3 a year, but this is one that was worth it and sitting there I could easily see how the experience of this was better than if I had of streamed in my living room, can't say that about every movie, but this was absolutely one.

 

[Ry009]

Wowee.

Shows if you take the time to craft a logical story that fits within the narrative, with production values to match...it's possible to bring back old franchises that don't feel like crash grabs.

So many fist pump moments in that movie. So much fun.

 

[Frank Bunn]

Really enjoyed this. It was totally predictable but who cares? Cruise was born for his role.

 

[Lebbo73]

I saw it last night. Very good movie with a good story line that Tom Cruise pulls off masterfully.

 

[Gasometer]

Spoiler

Has anyone watched “Val”. I think it’s on Prime. Brilliant documentary. It was good to see him cleaned up and looking good.

 

[Fyfe! The Musical]

Great movie, extremely enjoyable and tightly edited, only just squeaking over 2 hours. I am a big fan of when a director uses restraint, too many movies clock in over 160 minutes. A pity Tony Scott wasn't around to either see it or direct it.

Whenever Tom Cruise retires we're going to lose a fantastic actor.

 

[1990crow]

Loved it.

 

[Bernie L]

Faawken awesome. 9/10

 

[Herne Hill Hammer]

I was 18 when the original was released and loved it. I tried to rewatch it recently and couldn't I found it pretty cringy.

I went and saw this yesterday and I felt like I'd been on the whole journey with him. The story was almost the same as the original but I loved it. I got misty eyed a few times.

I've got a gold class gift voucher from Christmas sitting on the desk. I'll be going again.

 

[manureid]

Feels straight away when Dangerzone came on at the start. Jet fighters and Dangerzone. Name a better combo.

One of the rare movies of his that I've seen that I didn't like, another was Far and Away, coincidently the two with Nicole Kidman in them.
