OT- Top Gun Maverick?

Iceman had to get back in shape. He was getting pretty big for awhile too.
His best movie was Heat, IMO.
Great movie. But he killed it as Doc Holliday in Tombstone. Hands down IMO

You know what they say about aging. When men get older, they look like Sean Connery. When women get older, they look like Sean Connery.
Ok. It was good. Not as good as the original. Val Kilmer had real small role. Great aerial footage. Ending was a wee bit far fetched. But it's Hollywood.
Well. The steroids for the throat cancer might play a part tooIceman had to get back in shape. He was getting pretty big for awhile too.
Thanks. Your review was enough of a confirmation of why I don't like sequel or remakes
She really hasn't been acting for close to 30 years. Bit parts here and there but that's it. If it was important to her, she would have maintained her health and beauty.
Oh my god that movie was so bad...I watched it again recently and it is horrible and amazing.
Man I wish I didn’t see this pic. I like to imagine she was still young…. Anyways I’m currently sitting at the theater getting ready to see Maverick. Hope it’s good!
Hard to believe that is the same person
Nope.
Top Secret! is a real gem. One of the first Abrahams and Zucker brothers movies. Real Genius was pretty damn good too.
I think Thunderheart was his best. That is a really good movie.
Ringo - “ I was just fooling about“
Holliday “ I wasn’t… “
Watched Top Gun - Maverick last night. Highly recommend!!!
I liked it. Lots of cool action scenes. The plot was cool. Don’t want to spoil the movie for anyone who hasn’t seen it, but I liked the tie in to the 80’s movie.
Did not care for the movie but my favorite line was when one of the Cowboys was talking to him about why he was helping Wyatt and the cowboy said "I've got lots of friends"...and Doc said "I don't".
It's awesome. Finally a movie with some testosterone. The tight pants- wearing, weepy "males" were excluded.
Ive watched a little more than a handful of movies in the last 20 years. when I start viewing I usually think to myself, ‘can I really stomach this garbage…?!’
At least they had a chick in the shirtless football game on the beach this time.
That's what I keep hearing! "Was good, was very nostalgic".
I read that they really pulled out all the stops, leasing real fighters from the USAF.
Gonna have to see this... In the Danger Zone 🤣
I wonder if Tom is thinking that this could be like a Mission Impossible type thing now...
If Maverick is the financial hit it seems like it will be...no sense in not making a 3rd

These are my thoughts. Top Gun was pretty good I guess. Pure 1980's nostalgia. It was done with the full cooperation of the US Navy. It was a recruitment video. A really good one. Fast forward to this latest installment. It is totally funded by the Chinese government likely...just like the NBA it seems. I read an article where China is claiming all the flight scenes were done by Chinese Air Force. Who knows? That is likely more like North Korea pretend news. I don't care. We have all been inconvenienced by the virus created in a Chinese lab the last few years. Mav ain't allowed to have his old Taiwan patch on his fighter jacket. You all do the math. This movie could be Citizen Kane or Reservoir Dogs. I ain't paying for it. I will find a way to review it for free on some Chinese pirate movie site. Is that ironic? I suggest you all do the same. I ain't giving a dime to China to see some Americana through the eyes of China. That is my Memorial Day Jarhead rant. I could be wrong.
Not sure anything in your post is accurate....but I do know the patches were definitely back....I thought it was a good movie for what it's worth.
Classic '80s action flick Top Gun is back with a sequel. But for all its soaring aerial maneuvers, the most daring stunt may be a middle finger to China, to the joy of Taiwanese audiences hitting the theaters this week, Top Gun: Maverick features a prominent shot of the Japanese and Taiwanese flags—national symbols that were scrubbed from a 2019 trailer.

Great movie! Incredibly well done. Not sure how it goes from here and when it becomes rentable/purchasable for home use. Would love for my mom and dad to see it.
I have never watched a movie in theaters more than once.. til now. TG:Maverick is insanely good... saw it on Friday, and am going back for another viewing tomorrow (Tues). Unbelievable flying scenes, and the storyline is very reasonable. HAVE to watch it in on a bigscreen!!!! GBR
Anyone find an online site with the movie yet? I have only found cam versions...lame
There were so many good movies made the last 75 years that I'll never be able to see them all. I'm rewatching some of my favorites. Not overly concerned about what's coming out anymore because there is very little that interests me.
Everyone just glossing over the fact that maverick survived a crash at Mach 10 and just walked into a diner?
the movie was good but there was a lot of unrealistic aspects and plot holes. It was entertaining but the first one is head and shoulders better
Yup. My favorite was just walking into the hangar and stealing an F-14 after you just bombed the runway. Hollywood gonna Hollywood. Still a good movie.
