This movie was INCREDIBLE. I am 18 and only recently watched the original, and I gotta say Top Gun: Maverick is even better than the first and overall top notch
I recently turned 18, and honestly, this movie wasn't on my most anticipated list AT ALL. After watching it... it's my #1 movie of 2022 so far. It's simply amazing
This movie was SPECTACULAR!!! I’m 17 and watched Top Gun and Maverick in the same day and I liked them both but I LOVED Top Gun Maverick. Everything from the cinematography, the score, and every single part of the flying was just breathtaking. And the emotion made this movie break a whole other level. Just an amazing movie!
I am 19 in 2022 who saw the first top gun when I was 13 and I saw top gun maverick on the first day and was a event and the whole theater was packed and the audience were hollering and screaming and it was a great gift before I graduated high school after the movie came out
I’m 22 years old. 80s culture is by far my favorite. With that being said, this movie blew me away. Miles Teller and Tom Cruise are so good in this movie. I really cared about the outcome of the characters. I took my girlfriend to see it, and we both loved it. Cheers, Sean. You’ve been trailblazing this last year. Great review as always!
This movie is going to be a massive hit. I’d predict a 200M plus opening weekend. All the boomers who haven’t been to a theater in ages are clamoring to see this. The younger generation will go because of the reviews and hype and Tom Cruise led practical effects. Tom Cruise, love him or hate him, does not miss in action films these days!
@Lisa Surlie bro. While yes Dr Strange MoM was good and maybe better but this movie was great too, not garbage. Stop being a marvel fanboy and learn to enjoy all movies.
Never watched the original but Top Gun: Maverick made me tear up multiple times throughout its runtime. I was not expecting the amount of emotional weight it had. I can't even imagine what the experience will be like for hardcore fans of the first one. This is easily my favorite film of 2022 right now.
The amount of overwhelmingly positive reviews I've been watching lately, that combined with this movie being directed by the same guy who did TRON: Legacy; this actually makes me a bit more excited to see Top Gun: Maverick.
Watched it Last night in 4DX and it was one of the greatest cinematic experience I've ever had. One of the few 10/10 I would give, had a smile on my face the whole time!!!!
I’ll give it a 9.5/10 My only problem is the movie score. It felt like they held back on the soundtrack they had a opportunity of mixing modern day pop with 1980s rock. Apart from that literally everything else was perfect. I wasn’t expecting it to be that good since it’s been over 30yrs since the last one.
As someone who isn’t a massive fan of the original, I really enjoyed this one. Definitely in my Top 5 of the year so far. The only thing that really bugged me was that I felt there was too much humor and sometimes the humor was misplaced, but overall still a great film.
I’m 20, I’ve never seen the original Top Gun and I still had an absolute blast with this film. Tom cruise really went beyond for this movie and it shows in the final product. I’m gonna watch the original tonight!
Not a huge Top Gun fan to be honest- even growing up in the 80s. After hearing your review yesterday though- I gotta say I think I am looking forward to this one.
So I completely agree I don’t like the first top gun very much but this new top gun movie…. Is incredible. MUCH better than the first one in every possible way, I thoroughly loved it
I just watched Top gum for first time last night, then tonight watched MAVERICK at a packed IMAX theater and it was one of the coolest theater experience ever. One of the best movies I have seen at a theater ever. Great movie it had everything, and It was awesome
Sean, I love the shirt! Can't wait to see it tomorrow. I'm from the same generation. I'm a year older. Top Gun made a huge impact on me too as a kid. Glad that Tom returns to a franchise that launched him into Hollywood megastardom.
I’m 20 years old (about to turn 21), and my mom always tried to make me watch the original, so in 2020 I decided to give it a try and I loved it, since then I’ve been hyped for Maverick. And it totally paid off, it’s easily one of my favorite movies of the year
I saw the first one and since then I have been obsessed with the songs and just loved the humor and fun that it offered. I am very excited for this one
Sean, I'm excited for this movie and I thought I couldn't get more excited after the three trailers, but after I watch your review I'm getting even more excited for this movie.
Watching this film tonight, cannot wait! I have a ton of respect for Tom Cruise (professionally) as he really gives it his all to enhance his films. This looks awesome!
I loved it, it's a great time at the movies! My audience was cheering and clapping through-out the movie. Tom Cruise is the greatest movie entertainer of all time!
Recently watched the 1986 film thoroughly for the first time. I am a 90s kid. Thought the first 1 was just ok. I found the love story totally redundant except to show Tom Cruise's suave, sexy, sweet talking charmer side I guess. Glad to know this movie has a voice of it's own unlike other blockbusters! Booked my tickets for Friday in Ultra AVX and Tuesday in IMAX
I am so excited to see this incredible-looking movie. I'm seeing it in AN HOUR from when I'm typing this, and I am so READY I just watched Top Gun a year ago for the first time, and I really liked it!
I just recently watched the original top gun and loved it. I just saw Maverick and I have never been more emotionally invested in a movie in the theater ever, really amazing
I'm 22. I've seen the original on TV many times but didn't watch it all the way through till a few days ago. I agree with everything you said in your review. But Top Gun Maverick is probably the best movie I've seen in nearly 3 years.. PHENOMENAL
I’m 22 and I watched the original probably just because my folks love it. I thought it was ok, mostly thanks of the music and the flight scenes. So I wasn’t so hyped for this one. But I can’t believe how good it was. I was absolutely blown away by it. The third act was so intense that I left the theater wet because of how much I had sweat. Second best movie of the year so far (after the northman obviously)
Just watched it a couple of hours ago and I LOVED it. So I watched top gun when I was 13 on a plane and instantly loved it and wanted a sequel. Fast forward 7 years and here I am in absolute awe over this film. 10/10 for me, literally one of my all time favorites if I’m being honest.
Best film of 2022 so far! I had so much fun and absolutely loved this. I love the original as well. - everything about this film was perfect to me. The acting, the action sequences, the plot. You actually care about the characters.
I saw Top Gun for the first time a few years ago and honestly didn't think it was amazing. But I think it was just a generational thing. This movie was absolutely incredible. It felt like they did everything right. This is honestly a contender for my favorite movie of the decade to this point.
I only recently saw the original, less than a month ago after finally getting a copy. I’ll admit going in I didn’t have very high expectations, I’ve found that I often don’t enjoy so called “classics” as much as most people. Top Gun was an exception. I loved it way more than I expected, and my anticipation for Maverick went from 0 to 10. I was so excited and like you said it delivered on every promise. It has all of the action and heart and charm of the original plus these big emotions from great characters. Literally my only complaint is the lack of You’ve Lost That Loving Feeling, but they had Danger Zone and Great Balls of Fire so I guess 2 out of 3 ain’t too bad.
Im 15 years old, I was raised on Rocky 4 Top Gun and all the other classics. I am actually speechless about the movie. Imo that was the first movie to be perfection. Im so grateful to my parents for raising me the way they did. Joint favourite movie of all time
I got to see this at Cinemacon a few weeks back. Full disclosure: Top Gun has always been my favorite movie of all time. And I’m a theatre general manager so I watch a lot of movies. But I will now put Top Gun and Top Gun Maverick as 1A and 1B. The original will always have a special place in my heart. But they captured the magic again and added to it with some visual and story improvements. It got a standing ovation from the Cinemacon crowd. I couldn’t have been more impressed. I get to watch it again tonight at my own theatre and I cannot wait.
I’ve been saying this a lot but Top Gun: Maverick isn’t just a movie. *It’s an experience.* Frame of reference, I was born in 92, and was a huge fan after seeing Top Gun as a kid. Just saw the Early Access Event yesterday at my local AMC and I couldn’t believe the technical limits Top Gun: Maverick achieved. Truly a must watch on the big screen. Some of the best action sequences ever filmed imo. Characters are likeable with proper arcs, and none of the fan service tie-ins felt obnoxious. Such. A. Good. Movie. Definitely a top 10 film for me. I was down for everything about it.
27 years old. Grew up on the first film and the sequel was everything I wanted and more. One of the best theater experiences I’ve ever had in my entire life
Seeing the movie in less than 90 mins. My parents loved the original religiously and that rubbed off me when I was about 10. 6 years later I am finally seeing The sequel with my whole family and can’t wait.
@@theindianstallion6134 I feel like I don’t even need to answer with all the hype. Let’s just say me and my family are planning on seeing the movie for a 2nd time in IMAX again.
What a fantastic movie. Deserves the billion dollars it's making. What a movie. I would rate it a 9/10, but I could totally understand why someone would give it a 9.5/10 or even a 10. You have a truly magnificent sequel when it not only is better than the original, but also makes it better
2 years ago when the trailer came out I thought it looked really good, but I never saw the 1st one. So I checked it out and loved it. I got more happy to see the second but the delays kept happing. I almost thought I was going to have to watch streaming. But it came to theaters and I just saw it and it might be my favouit movie this year so far, I'll just have to see. Great to know had a great time, love youre videos, great review.
Yeah I am just like you Sean. I am an 80s kid who saw the original one a thousand times. I saw the movie at the first showing in IMAX last night and I couldn't get the smile off my face the entire runtime. It was just fantastic & so entertaining. What a fun ride. Can't wait to see it again.
I went into the Navy (and eventually) the Naval Academy because of the first movie. Now, my classmates were advisors on this movie. I loved every minute of it!
I’m 27, love the first one. Watched it a hand full of times in 3D, the sequel did NOT Disappoint, saw it in 4DX with my dad and best mate and we were smiling the whole time 8.9/10
I’m in my late 20s so I wasn’t born when Top Gun came out but i did see it when I was a kid and it’s a movie that I really enjoy. It’s super 80s but in a good way and yeah I think it’s a classic but I also understand if people can’t get into it. I saw Top Gun Maverick last night and let me tell you it blew me away. It was such an intense thrill ride and I loved it, i think it’s better than the original.
I just saw this movie in theaters yesterday and WOW it blew me away! It was fantastic!!!! It took my breath away! I enjoyed the characters, acting, Maverick character acr as an older and wiser man with more aviation knowledge and expertise, the story, plot, jet flight scenes, the cinematography, the climax and ending. I knew this film was coming out this year but I wasn't very excited for it because the original Top Gun is not of my generation and thus I have no nostalgia for it but I'm so glad I watched this film. Its superior to the first Top Gun film in my opinion. It was a smart move to use practical effects and real jet flying instead of CGI and this movie release in theaters instead of streaming services. I love how Tom Cruise thank the audience before the film started too. This film gets a 8.5 out of 10 for me. I will definitely re-watch in theaters! This was a good review.
I'm still in my teens and new to top gun but still love the first one. Seeing top gun maverick on Monday because everything is booked out. Sooo excited.
I almost gave it a 9.5 but the romantic angle wasn't necessary for the plot and sometimes the pacing kinda dragged in those scenes but overall it's a 9 for me! LOVE THIS MOVIE. Tom Cruise knows how to do cinema. Love this review, keep up the amazing content sir!
This movie is AMAZING! I’m 19 and I watched this film before the original and completely fell in love. I watched it for my dad and I did not expect to like it this much
Not a Top Gun fan. It always felt overrated, cheesy and I wasn't alive when the first movie came out. I had no hype at all for a movie that was supposed to come out in 2019 that kept getting delayed. That said, I saw it yesterday and Top Gun: Maverick is one of the best movies of the year. It far surpasses the original, is a film meant to be seen on the big screen, and is incredible. It had no right to be as good as it was. WOW!
Saw it last night here in Dallas, Texas in IMAX....there are absolutely NO WORDS TO THIS MOVIE LADIES AND GENTLEMEN...IT IS FANTASTIC...SUPER FANTASTIC AND IN MY GOD HONEST TRUTH...IT IS BETTER THAN THE ORIGINAL!!!! watch the movie in the theater and see it in IMAX!!! I am going to see it again in the theater for sure...it is AWESOME AND WENT WAY PAST MY EXPECTATIONS!!! TOM CRUISE....THANK YOU!!!
Enjoyed this movie very much. I have only seen the original 4 times but have enjoyed it very much. I was 7 years old when the first one came out. As I was born in 1979. I even got myself a top gun fl go suit to wear to the movie. One of my favorite movies of the year so far. Tom Cruise continues to amaze me in all these action films that he continues to do. Great film indeed.
Hey man just wanted to say you're videos have helped me alot and get through the day and I always look forward to you're reviews and thoughts on movies keep up the great work hope to start a movie channel like you one day.
I am 21 and This movie was amazing. I just recently watched the first one. I liked this better than the original. And I did really like the first one. Thoroughly enjoyed everything about this film.
It’s so nice to enjoy a real blockbuster movie for once I mean we need a break from the sci-fi movies like Star Wars, even superhero movies like the avengers and all that stuff
I'm a younger guy, and I haven't watched the original. I'm probably never gonna watch it or the sequel. But I'm glad you enjoyed both movies Sean, especially since sequels to older movies usually aren't that great.
I’m 24; I saw the original Top Gun a few years ago and didn’t really like it - it was a bit too 80’s for me. However, I rewatched it a few days ago and felt much differently: I thought it was good fun and enjoyed it a lot! Top Gun: Maverick, though, was a significantly superior sequel. I thought it was really excellent. The best film I’ve seen this year so far.
MI: Fallout Top Gun Maverick MI: Dead Reckoning Part 1 MI: Dead Reckoning Part 2 Possibly the best action quadrilogy of any actor’s career in a long time, that is if Dead Reckoning lives up to the hype. Loved Top Gun Maverick, the flight scenes were unbelievably good and tense, I would say it is a close to perfect as we’re gonna get
Awesome review Sean, I agree with pretty much all the points you raised in this video! This is an amazing film that fans of Top Gun will absolutely love, I was never the biggest fan of the original but this film blew me away!!!😃👍☮️❤️🍿
I'm a teenager and I just watched Top Gun yesterday. It was quite enjoyable at times. Just watched Top Gun Maverick and it was superior to the 1st one in every way
I am of the younger generation so I never grew up with the original, I watched it for the first time a couple of weeks before seeing Maverick and the first movie was ok but I really wasn’t feeling it too much. But once I saw Maverick, I instantly knew that it was my favorite movie of all time (it’s tied with Return of the Jedi rn but after a second viewing that’ll probably change) A really great film 10/10
I thought Miles Teller was really good as Rooster and I thought it was really cool what they were able to do with Val Kilmer in the movie. I thought the scene where Miles Teller started singing great balls of fire was awesome
I’m 18 and I’ve never seen the original nor have I have the desire to watch it, but my friends told me how good this one was so I saw it and I thoroughly enjoyed it. Best movie of the year and the only other one I’m rlly looking forward to is Avatar 2. Now I gotta watch the first Top Gun.
I’m 20 I saw the original a week before I saw maverick. Tho the original will always have a special place in my heart maverick is just an amazing movie, actually my favorite movie of the year. Not many movies that come out decades after the last one turn out good. I’m so glad this one did
I enjoyed this film more than the first! I was able to follow the plot better! I watched the first one on Netflix yesterday to prepare for when I saw it today! Top Gun: Maverick had a fair amount of action in it to keep me satisfied!
I thought a nice touch was they credited the movie as a Don Simpson/Jerry Bruckenheimer production (they both collaborated in the original and other movies, but Simpson died with their last movie being The Rock)
What a film! Just saw it in the theater. This is the first time I’ve been in a theater in years - but I had to for something of this caliber. I agree, more emotion. So relatable to see the character wrestling with his regrets. Also interesting to see them teasing the tension of automation in tech in the early part. They did great. - a former East Two brother 👊🏼
I'm so excited to see this film!! I am watching the original one first then watch the new one in IMAX. I know it was worth the wait, is a worthy sequel to the original and it absolutely must be seen on the big screen.
I’m 21 and watched Top Gun a few years ago. I thought it was pretty good but maybe was a little underwhelmed because I knew the film was beloved and on many peoples favorite movie. It had good iconic characters and good plane scenes but was definitely very cheesy and a product of its time. I was quite blown away with this sequel and like it better than the original. It had some of the same cheesiness but to its benefit, it is a sequel to an inherently cheesy movie and a dead ass serious follow up wouldn’t feel like it was part of the same universe. With this movie though I felt like it did the campiness and fine tuned it and kept it down to earth a lot better than the original. The dynamic with Maverick and Rooster was great and the plane scenes had me clutching my seat and being stressed out. Tom Cruise just can’t seem to miss. I’d give this film a solid 8/10
This movie was INCREDIBLE. I am 18 and only recently watched the original, and I gotta say Top Gun: Maverick is even better than the first and overall top notch
Glad you kids are into this series! Glad u saw both of them!
I am a Generation Z kid. Personally, I think it’s the best movie of the year so far. So many good things about this film :)
I am 95, (between gen Z and Millennials) it was released today in Sweden. Can’t wait to see it.

2 years ago when the trailer came out I thought it looked really good, but I never saw the 1st one. So I checked it out and loved it. I got more happy to see the second but the delays kept happing. I almost thought I was going to have to watch streaming. But it came to theaters and I just saw it and it might be my favouit movie this year so far, I'll just have to see. Great to know had a great time, love youre videos, great review.
Yeah I am just like you Sean. I am an 80s kid who saw the original one a thousand times. I saw the movie at the first showing in IMAX last night and I couldn't get the smile off my face the entire runtime. It was just fantastic & so entertaining. What a fun ride. Can't wait to see it again.
I went into the Navy (and eventually) the Naval Academy because of the first movie. Now, my classmates were advisors on this movie. I loved every minute of it!
Awesome Review Really looking forward to seeing it as soon as possible!!
I’m 27, love the first one. Watched it a hand full of times in 3D, the sequel did NOT Disappoint, saw it in 4DX with my dad and best mate and we were smiling the whole time 8.9/10
This was like the Sean Chandler Fantasy Date review of Top Gun.
I’m in my late 20s so I wasn’t born when Top Gun came out but i did see it when I was a kid and it’s a movie that I really enjoy. It’s super 80s but in a good way and yeah I think it’s a classic but I also understand if people can’t get into it. I saw Top Gun Maverick last night and let me tell you it blew me away. It was such an intense thrill ride and I loved it, i think it’s better than the original.
I’m 14 and I was looking forward to the movie, but people said it was good so I went and watched it and I got to say it’s incredible
I just saw this movie in theaters yesterday and WOW it blew me away! It was fantastic!!!! It took my breath away! I enjoyed the characters, acting, Maverick character acr as an older and wiser man with more aviation knowledge and expertise, the story, plot, jet flight scenes, the cinematography, the climax and ending. I knew this film was coming out this year but I wasn't very excited for it because the original Top Gun is not of my generation and thus I have no nostalgia for it but I'm so glad I watched this film. Its superior to the first Top Gun film in my opinion. It was a smart move to use practical effects and real jet flying instead of CGI and this movie release in theaters instead of streaming services. I love how Tom Cruise thank the audience before the film started too. This film gets a 8.5 out of 10 for me. I will definitely re-watch in theaters! This was a good review.
I'm still in my teens and new to top gun but still love the first one. Seeing top gun maverick on Monday because everything is booked out. Sooo excited.
Cool background, feels strange not seeing you in the studio but it has a classy vibe to it lol
I loved it, I’m 17 and never even seen the original but this was still the movie of the year so far to me.
I almost gave it a 9.5 but the romantic angle wasn't necessary for the plot and sometimes the pacing kinda dragged in those scenes but overall it's a 9 for me! LOVE THIS MOVIE. Tom Cruise knows how to do cinema. Love this review, keep up the amazing content sir!
This movie is AMAZING! I’m 19 and I watched this film before the original and completely fell in love. I watched it for my dad and I did not expect to like it this much
Not a Top Gun fan. It always felt overrated, cheesy and I wasn't alive when the first movie came out. I had no hype at all for a movie that was supposed to come out in 2019 that kept getting delayed. That said, I saw it yesterday and Top Gun: Maverick is one of the best movies of the year. It far surpasses the original, is a film meant to be seen on the big screen, and is incredible. It had no right to be as good as it was. WOW!
Saw it last night here in Dallas, Texas in IMAX....there are absolutely NO WORDS TO THIS MOVIE LADIES AND GENTLEMEN...IT IS FANTASTIC...SUPER FANTASTIC AND IN MY GOD HONEST TRUTH...IT IS BETTER THAN THE ORIGINAL!!!! watch the movie in the theater and see it in IMAX!!! I am going to see it again in the theater for sure...it is AWESOME AND WENT WAY PAST MY EXPECTATIONS!!! TOM CRUISE....THANK YOU!!!
Can’t wait for this one! Glad it lived up to your expectations
Enjoyed this movie very much. I have only seen the original 4 times but have enjoyed it very much. I was 7 years old when the first one came out. As I was born in 1979. I even got myself a top gun fl go suit to wear to the movie. One of my favorite movies of the year so far. Tom Cruise continues to amaze me in all these action films that he continues to do. Great film indeed.
Hey man just wanted to say you're videos have helped me alot and get through the day and I always look forward to you're reviews and thoughts on movies keep up the great work hope to start a movie channel like you one day.
I am 21 and This movie was amazing. I just recently watched the first one. I liked this better than the original. And I did really like the first one. Thoroughly enjoyed everything about this film.
Loving the reviews sean!
This movie is insanely good!
It’s so nice to enjoy a real blockbuster movie for once I mean we need a break from the sci-fi movies like Star Wars, even superhero movies like the avengers and all that stuff
I'm a younger guy, and I haven't watched the original. I'm probably never gonna watch it or the sequel. But I'm glad you enjoyed both movies Sean, especially since sequels to older movies usually aren't that great.
You should watch them tho lol this one in particular is insanely good (unless you don't like action films)
Great to hear that you loved it Sean! Can’t wait to see it!
It definetly needs to get Oscar nominations especially for best actor and best picture and even best director
This movie was absolutely INCREDIBLE!!!
I’m 24; I saw the original Top Gun a few years ago and didn’t really like it - it was a bit too 80’s for me.
However, I rewatched it a few days ago and felt much differently: I thought it was good fun and enjoyed it a lot!
Top Gun: Maverick, though, was a significantly superior sequel. I thought it was really excellent. The best film I’ve seen this year so far.
MI: Fallout
Top Gun Maverick
MI: Dead Reckoning Part 1
MI: Dead Reckoning Part 2
Possibly the best action quadrilogy of any actor’s career in a long time, that is if Dead Reckoning lives up to the hype.
Loved Top Gun Maverick, the flight scenes were unbelievably good and tense, I would say it is a close to perfect as we’re gonna get
Awesome review Sean, I agree with pretty much all the points you raised in this video! This is an amazing film that fans of Top Gun will absolutely love, I was never the biggest fan of the original but this film blew me away!!!😃👍☮️❤️🍿
I'm a teenager and I just watched Top Gun yesterday. It was quite enjoyable at times.
Just watched Top Gun Maverick and it was superior to the 1st one in every way
I’m a 14 years old teenager and I still absolutely love this film and imo it’s been the best film since covid
I am of the younger generation so I never grew up with the original, I watched it for the first time a couple of weeks before seeing Maverick and the first movie was ok but I really wasn’t feeling it too much. But once I saw Maverick, I instantly knew that it was my favorite movie of all time (it’s tied with Return of the Jedi rn but after a second viewing that’ll probably change) A really great film 10/10
I thought Miles Teller was really good as Rooster and I thought it was really cool what they were able to do with Val Kilmer in the movie. I thought the scene where Miles Teller started singing great balls of fire was awesome
just finished watching it too. Wow wow wow!
I like both movies but the sequel is better to me it's a nostalgia and i was in tears throughout cos of it's heart & callbacks. My score is A+
I must see this movie need to watch it love the original great review sean Tom cruise is awesome
I plan on seeing this movie at the drive in theater
I’m 18 and I’ve never seen the original nor have I have the desire to watch it, but my friends told me how good this one was so I saw it and I thoroughly enjoyed it. Best movie of the year and the only other one I’m rlly looking forward to is Avatar 2.
Now I gotta watch the first Top Gun.
Top Gun: Maverick is officially my # 1 movie of 2022
I’m 20 I saw the original a week before I saw maverick. Tho the original will always have a special place in my heart maverick is just an amazing movie, actually my favorite movie of the year. Not many movies that come out decades after the last one turn out good. I’m so glad this one did
My expectation is that it will be the best movie of the year so far
I enjoyed this film more than the first! I was able to follow the plot better! I watched the first one on Netflix yesterday to prepare for when I saw it today! Top Gun: Maverick had a fair amount of action in it to keep me satisfied!
I thought a nice touch was they credited the movie as a Don Simpson/Jerry Bruckenheimer production (they both collaborated in the original and other movies, but Simpson died with their last movie being The Rock)
I finally saw Top Gun Maverick today and this movie is easily my all time favorite movie of this year.
I’m 21 and grew up on the original Top Gun and I loved this movie just as much as the original. I thought it was the perfect way to do a sequel
I’m seeing this in Dbox Friday. I’ve never been this hyped for a movie since avengers endgame
My mom didn't want to see this movie in this theater alone, so I had to find the first movie just to see this with my mom, and I loved it
I didn't see the first one until a few years ago, and then I saw the sequel and really enjoyed it. Definitely movie of the year for me.
Gonna see this with my 17 year old son first chance I get!
What a film! Just saw it in the theater. This is the first time I’ve been in a theater in years - but I had to for something of this caliber. I agree, more emotion. So relatable to see the character wrestling with his regrets. Also interesting to see them teasing the tension of automation in tech in the early part. They did great.

I'm so excited to see this film!! I am watching the original one first then watch the new one in IMAX. I know it was worth the wait, is a worthy sequel to the original and it absolutely must be seen on the big screen.
Really Good Movie. a good product that we want after The first Top Gun Movie. Love u Sean ❤❤
I’m 21 and watched Top Gun a few years ago. I thought it was pretty good but maybe was a little underwhelmed because I knew the film was beloved and on many peoples favorite movie. It had good iconic characters and good plane scenes but was definitely very cheesy and a product of its time. I was quite blown away with this sequel and like it better than the original. It had some of the same cheesiness but to its benefit, it is a sequel to an inherently cheesy movie and a dead ass serious follow up wouldn’t feel like it was part of the same universe. With this movie though I felt like it did the campiness and fine tuned it and kept it down to earth a lot better than the original. The dynamic with Maverick and Rooster was great and the plane scenes had me clutching my seat and being stressed out. Tom Cruise just can’t seem to miss. I’d give this film a solid 8/10
