there is a pinch of feminism, "you look good" she rings the bell, he reads the sign about disrespecting women,.. but hey it's fun, I give it a solid pass, women get to serve men shit too, lol

There was a couple instances

Leftists hate all those things

Starbuck was better 10 years before

So glad there was a female, she was Mavericks wingman. Definitely a feminist. And Ben Shapiro sounds so stupid here LOL

I sort of agree. But I must say that she would not be allowed on the mission because women cannot handle that much G force. And the key reason was her built. She was tiny and short. If a girl is tall and strong - something like a woman basketball player can be a good example to have for an idea of this - the difference might be smaller. Not to mention the lesser bone density etc. She would have passed out, there is just no way she would not in that climb.

@@Fujtajblus false, plenty of women can handle that g-force. Plus the g-force was kind of made up for the movie anyway.

Every time she was on screen I was like uh oh here it comes. But no! She was just a character that happened to be female, not a female who happened to be a pilot. Love it

Yes!!! I decided to pay the extra money and do not regret it one bit!

Yeah I saw it at Regal IMAX theater and was in row D. The sound was incredible and loud. Riveting.

IMAX … it was insane in imax ! If u can do it, do it.

1) Watched it in normal cinema 2) Watched it in IMAX 3) Almost cried when I heard the halos in the beginning when the intro started 4) Waited for the credits to finish as the music was good. Yeah, it was a brilliant film :)

Yes it does, I happen to live not so far from an AFB that has F35s no kidding you can feel the energy from these aircraft, it can be awesome.

Yep, the diversity is realistic... because they do indeed have diverse pilots... totally fine, totally believable.

@@copcuffs9973 I believe the first female naval fighter pilot also died in that accident (or was it her RIO who was also a female?).

It was okay. Behind Enemy Lines with Owen Wilson was better.

@@stephenhagen234 that’s understandably a personal preference;however, with regard to my personal expertise, TGM excelled.

@@tomnguyen8546 yeah it’s very nice to see the C-2 / E-2 community get some love. They’re unsung heroes in my opinion. I’d like to thank the VRC community for giving me my cats and traps.

It was great but the mission did seem to borrow a lot from SW: A New Hope. Not saying that's a bad thing though because I loved both ANH and Top Gun: Maverick.

I had no warm fuzzies inside when I left the theater. I prefer "The Pacific", "Band of Brothers", "Saving Private Ryan" and "Behind Enemy Lines" as these had much better stories.

Completely agree. That is an aspect that does go under appreciated. The whole message of our history is valuable and even critical to continue to learn from and apply today. No technological advancements are going to replace the lessons in what works and what it takes from us to succeed. This was at the heart of the story. Old school tech and the wisdom and abilities of the senior personnel against the latest gear and gizmos. "It's not the machine, it's the pilot" after all.

@Lisa Surlie u got to be kiddingme

What a piece of s#¡t Ben is to assert that the target country in this movie was Iran. It was left anonymous for a reason! Not to put in place his/his people’e wishes!

Feels good, doesn't it? I used to get it all the time, coming out of the theater as a teen or young adult. This is the first time I've done that since those days.

You must be young

Used to get that as a kid. Raiders of the lost Arc, E.T. ,

@@bellaaneke until they make Top Gun 3 🤔

@@toanthony Truthful I thought the movie was just average. Action was incredible, plot was a little weak, and they really milked "Gooses" death. Still much better than all the silly Super hero movies.

@@toanthony Actually I was thinking of that, a TG3. I think they won't be able to make a TG3 with the original characters, unless Mitchell is just a supporting role as the head of the school or something. I think this was the closing of that generations chapter. Rooster and others, however, could extend that. I am really grateful that they made this film just in time, IMHO, before any of them got any older and especially before Val Kilmer died. I do think this kind of thing should go on and become a sort of film series as a kind of cultural tradition in the US. It's just so good for us to have patriotic things like this that we can ALL unite around.

As a child from 2000 who watched the first one a couple years ago I had the same fear. Haven't watched it yet, but these comments have given me the hype

Think we all feared that concidering the other sequels/reboots that have come out the last years, but this one did it perfectly. It was just full of tribute and respect to the first one and to the fans.

The guy in his personal life might have beliefs I don't share BUT if I had to have one person help me do a movie today Tom Cruise is it!

@@goncalobaia1574 go see it! You won't be disappointed.

I asked my wife which one she thought was better and her response was that she liked both. I personally think this one was better than the original. Yes, it had a little bit of the love story aspect, but didn't dominate the film like it did in the first one. This one was more about the mission and the jet scenes were amazing. The first one had just small segments about confronting the enemy and was more about the Cruise and McGillis relationship, and the death of Goose and its effect on Maverick, along with the differing relationship between Maverick and Iceman. I also thought Miles Teller portrayal of what we wanted to see in Goose's son was spot on. The mannerisms and look reminded me of Goose.

I saw the movie with my wife, 17-year old daughter, 14-year old son, and 8-year old son. They all loved it. Cruise had great action scenes, good script, and restored the Taiwanese flag and Japanese flag on the jacket, showing that he cares more for the story than he does for the Chinese Communist Party.

Me too!

It was most certainly a Hollywood movie and was distributed and given the green light by Paramount who by the way are a real Hollywood studio unlike many of the others out there.

Can you link the video please

They not only did the training, that is really them flying the jets in the film

It was woke and had a political message. How you miss that?

@@Aristocratic13 please, enlighten me.

@@superdutyzack Man vs Drone (future of aviation, this was argued through the film), retiring and letting the next generation take over (Iceman scene), it’s not the fighter jet it’s the pilot (Rooster scenes), making amends and forgiveness for past mistakes (Maverick and Rooster scenes), commitment or letting go of the past (Maverick, Penny, and Penny’s daughter scenes), and overall the aspect of the life of a Navy Fighter pilot since this is a military recruitment movie.

@@Aristocratic13 what's woke or political? Man vs Drone isn't really political and everything else you mentioned isn't woke.

@@superdutyzack Dude they are literally fighting a foreign body in the film. That alone is political, but the future of Jet fighting is political. POLITICAL: adjective relating to the government or the public affairs of a country; relating to the ideas or strategies of a particular party or group in politics.

I'm a USAF vet. All the branches give each other a lot of grief. One day while we were on vacation up north we found out we couldn't take our bull dog across the Mackinac Bridge walk. We asked the manager of the hotel if we could leave her in the room while we went. He said, "Usually no. But that's a bulldog. So I have to watch her for you." He was a marine. As we talked, his employees began to listen. He told me how much he appreciated the Air Force. "I thank God for you boys! You guys saved our lives!" Once he was pinned down. They couldn't get out. He said that the Air Force was called in for a strike. Within a few minutes it was all over. There were tears in his eyes. We saluted each other. Then he actually gave me a hug. It was the deepest respect I'd felt in a long time. Something I've missed. I'd been in places where I had seen allied troops and enemy terrorists brought in; some thrown in the field in front of where the Americans where placed in the base. They let them rot in the sun. But I'd never been pinned down, or watched my brothers die. I never had to personally go through that bit of hell. I went through two marriages in four countries. That was enough for me. Today, when I look around. I tear up (and I am now). Because I often wonder if the sacrifice vets put in was worth it. Half of the country hates guys like me. They won't even stand for the flag. I've got a few interviews lined up. I worry about them actually seeing the flag on my car. When I did an interview last week I moved my die cast USAF models out of view so the interviewer couldn't see them (He was French). Why should I have to worry about the sacrifice I've made to help these people being perceived as a negative attribute? One of my engineers (a Marine) feels the exact same way. While I gave up a portion of my life, others gave everything they had and more. And men like that marine watched his brothers die. I'm terrified more for my country than at any time I was in harms way (I was in a combat communication squadron). The people that want to tear down the country aren't just some far off group. In fact, most immigrants would fight just to get here. It's often someone setting next to you at dinner. Someone giving you the evil eye for saying something nice about America. I'm just waiting for companies like Home Depot to take away minor things like the vet parking. I don't need a thanks. But I do want people to love this country. I want them to know that the flag is for everyone. It's the symbol of freedom around the world... Why not here?
