This movie won't have the same effect on Navy recruiting as the first film did in 1986.

Many of the kids who fell in love with aviation because of Top Gun enrolled in Air Force instead of Navy. Poor things couldn't tell the difference.

not like in the first top gun, F-18 does not have the same appeal as the legendary F-14

So many ways they could've screwed it up. Amazing what they actually did with it. Just... wow.

One of the first instances where the sequel is better than the original

I thought this movie might do around $300 million but it made that the first weekend. 😅

@@satoru556 Don't forget about Terminator 2, that was another sequel that was just amazing.

Watching this movie at home on Paramount Plus would not have done it justice. This movie has to be seen on the big screen first. We may never see a movie like this again with so much actual flying with actors in the plane and operating the cameras.

It feels weird to say it but yes. Its 10/10. It also have a average of 99% audience score at rotten tomaties with 50.000+ people having rated it. Thats insane.

"if for no other reason than what it represents" The impossible task of making a perfect sequel to an already iconic 80s movie? I might be mistaken but Tom Cruise is basically the first to pull off this since Arnold Schwarzenegger and James Cameron made T2 Judgment day. Hollywood have done ridiculous number of attempts with everyting from Indiana Jones to Robocop being fails. I would mention Total Recall but it was released in 1990

@@benlunch7618 and the insane thing is that T2 came out in 1991 just a few years after the first one. It was very much when audiences were expecting it. It’s one thing to make a great sequel right after the original, but making a great sequel after 30 years? That’s something else entirely. Star Wars failed, Jurassic Park didn’t necessarily fail but it didn’t go well. Top Gun: Maverick is truly a unique accomplishment and I don’t know how Tom and the team pulled it off

@@jackmanning1117 For 30 years of waiting time, the pressure was immense. To keep up the legacy.

@@benlunch7618 No Tom Cruise isnt the first to pull this off since Arnold. You forgot about Blade Runner 2049, the movie is great for sure. It definitely is a great sequel for an iconic 80's movie and it came out in 2017.

@@Ex0rz But it’s not the same thing. It’s a future dystopian setting so your free to write any story and has a new lead so your not tied into how that character is still a serving officer etc. Top Gun was an 80s feel good movie with many character arcs and to tie up all those things to make a sequel 30 years later that stays true to the original but also looked fresh on the screen is indeed a first and I doubt we will see a repeat of that success in our life time. Point to note, it honoured the original material without any PC nonsense and ticked all the boxes. I mean, they even managed to find a plausible way to put him back in the cockpit of an F14 for goodness sake which, for all of us was a must as the Tomcat became as much of a star as Maverick in the movie as well as a great way to say why he was still in the Navy with him being a test pilot plus iceman becoming the main man so always looked out for him. Look at all the variables and it’s never been done and not even close. On another note, many people were not satisfied with BR 2049 fans included as it was a little underwhelming. In contrast Top Gun fans were blown away and could see how much thought went into delivering in so many expectations.

@Will Topshelf I hate that whole thing but honestly, movie goers don't care. If the movie is good, they will go see it.

You are idiot

Completely agree!!

Waiting with its release until covid is over just shows how much love and care they put in to the movie. Clearly not just another Hollywood cash grab blockbuster.

Yeah could easily have just released it to stream, but this is a movie they deserved to be seen in the cinema, and the fact its still shown in some cinemas even now, shows how good it is

Aviator glasses have been popular since like world war 2 lol

What's this dude smoking, all those things existed and were popular before the movie lmao

I love Top Gun, and the new Top Gun, and I'm a big fan of Tom Cruise. But I was wearing aviators, while riding fast bikes, and digging fighter jets before Mr. Cruise graduated high school. Just sayin'...

also a haircut , after the movie release in 1986 lots of people inspired by tom cruise haircut!!! me included

Yes he is, he is being more consistent than any actor ever, the 80s, the 90s, the 00s, the 10s and now the 20s, always leading movies and the box office numbers never abandoned him

Cruise is the FUCKING MAN!!!!

I would say you really have to strongly consider him as the greatest actor in history! I have yet to see a film he has made where he looks like he is struggling to deliver lines, or appears out of his element. I am sure there are many "technical" actors who would be considered better, but not a chance any person is a bigger star or overall better actor...Cheers Tom Cruise!

@@sierra8186 agreed! He’s been consistent his entire career. I can’t really think of any flops he’s been in?

Can't argue that

The difference between the scientology weirdness and the woke weirdness of Hollywood today is that Tom Cruise makes movies for the audience which the woke weirdness doesnt.

Damn right.

More wings in the air to drop those bombs on the innocent huurah

is funny how 99% of movie actors don't get judged by their religion, but oh God forbid one does something else than Christians and is now considered weird. Is all weird, praying to the non existent person.

@@nobytes2 Religion is so much more than just praying to God. Otherwise it wouldn't have been the foundation of Western society, law, technology, art and philosophy and the most successful and productive countries in human history. It's easy to belittle and ridicule religion and faith, but one doesn't have to believe in God to recognise that Christian values create and maintain healthy, safe and productive societies; much more so than any secular equivalent. Take, for instance, the Christian value of sex within wedlock. This discourages the sexualisation of children and adolescents, teenage pregnancies, STDs and single mothers. Statistically, children raised within a marriage are many times less likely to suffer short and long term psychological and physical disorders and even premature death. The same applies to men and women in marriage. This is just one of many examples of Christian values that results in better societies and without any reference to God.

Ha, Ha, Ha, Ha, Ha, Ha, Ha, Ha, unfair, but that is America Today. Good Workers Don't Get Rewarded.

I thought it meant that Maverick was rebelling against the system. He was refusing promotions on principle. Plays by his own rules. Maybe you're a lose canon too and you're boss doesn't respect you not playing ball. 😀

@@paulkingMotion I wasn't thinking that deeply about it but there is a bit of truth in your comment.

Its because of he gets promoted and moves up? He won't be a pilot anymore

Well he's had three promotions though as wasn't he a lieutenant in the original movie and they are naval pilots.

I’ve read from several people that he’s become a big jerk to anyone not at his level; i.e., the little guys.

@@73cidalia Hell I became a real jerk to anyone not on my level in the work in around 7 years already. The lack of self-awareness some people show in regards to their inferior capabilites mostly shows itself in lack of respect. That someone thinks that he has a right for my time and attention just because "they want it now" is extremely irritating. People stopped respecting hard earned merit and expect to be treated like snowflakes.

I'm surprised he likes Marvel movies.

That F-14 at the end is definitely CGI , theres no flying Tomcats beside Iran's.

Martín F. León Avila I hate cgi with a passion. It ruins a film for me when a plane takes off at Mach 3. I wish more directors would ditch the cgi.

One of many reasons why Cruise is awesome: He makes sure as much as possible is done in camera. It’s very rare at this point.

Well at Comic Con, yeah. All those super hero movies are like 80% CGI

Me too !! 5 times in Imax :)

But in each mission impossible he takes it a level up.

I was born in 1986 and it's the greatest movie of all time to me.

Gomommago! I wasn’t born when Top Gun premiered either. I still love it as a movie. I love Lynyrd Skynyrd to and am very interested in World War 1. Doesn’t matter when you were born. If you’re a fan, you’re a fan.

i was born in 91, and i watched top gun literally few nights ago (for the first time). I knew what it was, herd of it, just never saw it until now, and i must say, it is easily one of the best movies i have ever seen. Its in my top 2 (Termiantor 2 being number 1).

I disagree. I personally grew up watching top gun all day every day. I was 2 when it came out. So I agree it is different for us. BUT Top Gun is a very well known movie. There are tons of teens and 20 year olds who know the movie and have watched it.

Yes, but it's a supermarket.

How do you respect comicon?

Being a nerd has been cool since around 2010-2013ish. this isnt like when I was growing up

The military nowadays arent stereotypical buff jocks lmfao. I can tell you from experience, your average mf that joins the military, are complete fucking nerds. The people that play war thunder, squad, arma, obsess over Anime, Halo, and all this shit, are the ones that end up joining lol. Especially if your pilot, you need a PHD in physics and you need alot of post secondary education for shit. Especially if your a radar officer. Stereotypical jock type people already have a massive friend group, so they feel no need to join. But your average dude that wants to gets roped in because of the "comradery" doesnt exactly have alot of friends. Thats just what I personally noticed tho

Comic con is a joke now. It's run by big corporate hollywood pushing their dumb movies. Sadly for the most part, It's no longer about comics, manga, and video games anymore.

💯💯💯💯💯💯

thats what i said.. if its all CGI im out.

@TylerFJ24 Tom Cruise said that everything was real, nothing was computer generated with the planes and they worked closely with the Navy filming it. So that’s the main reason I’m excited and happy this is coming.

I truly respect Tom for this. He's a real artisan of his craft.
