Saw this today and I loved it! Thought it was exactly what I expected going into it. They did an awesome job with the film and love the "parallels" to the original.

I've heard many good things about this movie. Loved the original.
Tickets bought for tomorrow. It's supposed to be a cloudy, rainy day. Perfect movie-going weather. |

Tom is a nutball for sure but he's a great movie star. MAVERICK WAS BADASS!

A+ for action that’s for damn sure. The classic American summer blockbuster is back - we’ve been missing them. A lot actually.
Cruise proves star power still matters in HollyWeird. Honestly if he didn’t make it back to this film, if they tried a new actor for this role, or did a re-make, or a new story, it’d have flopped. I’d have never seen it personally. He can carry a film on his back like Atlas. The plot was pretty thin. Of course I reminded myself I wasn’t there for a damn plot anyway! My boys were enthralled by it. Didn’t know it was Jen Connolly until the credits. Good gracious that is one glorious female. Finally, I REALLY appreciated no steamy, forced love scene. Just two people rekindling something we don’t really know much about. With kids in tow, I didn’t need another Berlin to sing a sex-song. |

Well, I just saw it.
I did enjoy it, but like most movies that get hyped all to hell beforehand, not nearly as much as I had hoped I would. I guess I'll still spoiler my thoughts.

One thing I won't spoiler - we stayed until the end of the credits because one of my wife's FB friends to her there was a post credits scene. There wasn't. |

Saw it today. They had every cliche imaginable making an appearance in this movie. Every person in this film was predictable as were their actions. Yet, it was still entertaining.
Using real DOD F-18’s and the access that the DOD allowed made this movie unlike any before it. You didn’t need CGI to show the action or speed of the jets. Best dog fights ever filmed.

I loved it. Wasn’t a huge fan of the original growing up, just wasn’t a movie that I watched over and over again, but found this movie to hit all the right notes. Tom Cruise maybe a strange individual, but he’s made some of my most favorite films and knows what resonates with the audience. Wonderful film, paid homage all throughout the run time, and I’m glad that this movie was as good as it was given the amount of time it took to come out. Not sure I’d be as interested in the young cast if they ever made another without Cruise, but this is like Terminator 2 to me, just an amazing time at the movies for a sequel.

You and Frazod are absolutely correct - there was nothing from a story perspective that made that movie unique. And frankly, I want to go see it removed from the 'burden' of watching the story just so I can appreciate the cinematography. Because that's what truly made the movie. To me it was a lot like Dunkirk. Dunkirk is a fairly dull, lifeless movie on television. But on a large screen it was incredible. Maverick is the same animal.
