Anybody else excited for Topgun: Maverick?

I’ve been watching the clips come through my YouTube feed.

Pretty sure in like 3 clips that total about 30 minutes run time, I’d say the better part of the movie was seen.

What was the best part? Turning it off.

I don’t know you, but I would help you rescue your wife from a Scientology compound if you asked.


The movie was good relative to the chit that comes out these days.

Ha...well thanks Doublecluck.
I think I still have the edge on Mr. Cruise.

A waste of time, should have been in the outback shack with a country gal.

Watched it a few weeks ago. Not bad, lots of action, somewhat predictable. Had to laugh when he took off in the test jet in the beginning. The roof on the guard shack almost flew off but the guy standing next to it didn't move!

It was pieced together; the roof wasn’t suppose to blow off, go to 6:50 in the first video.

I don’t understand how people can like this movie. It’s terrible. The acting is bad, the storyline is derivative, the editing is stilted. I couldn’t finish it.

One critic wrote, “It’s just 90 minutes of unimaginative dialog and fast jets.”

I agree, it was perfect.

I watched it a few weeks ago and was not impressed.

Typical Tom Cruise movie.

I'll bet it's better than the new Avatar(per what I'm reading about that movie) and it's not 3 hours 12 minutes long... I liked it for a sequel.

Graphics were amazing, plot sucked, it was just a story to be able to produce a 3rd sequel.

Marvel XLIX coming soon....

I was more interested in the flying. I just watched an interview with the pilot ( Frank Weisser ?) a retired Navy Commander and ex-Blue Angle who did the low level and canyon flying. He was less than 15' in several instances. He was an active Navy pilot when he flew the movie scenes. He gives a lot of insight about high performance flying. I was unaware of the stress damage to the airplane that negative G s cause on an airplane for example. .....good stuff and very interesting.

I believe a few of you sat next to some tubby, popcorn - shovel to mouth, grease farting, burpalicious, troll.

Top Gun: Maverick was BADASS!

Not bad, enjoyable I suppose. I liked the P-51 mustang, I build the model.

Useless fact...that P-51 at the end I believe is Tom Cruises personal plane....

 

[reallyoldman]

The P 51 D is one of the best ever built and has a very interesting history.

That's the point.

One of the Pautzke Bait owners in Ellensburg had a P-51 Mustang, definitely knew when he was flying it in the valley, very distinctive sound, cool plane.
