I Don't Like That Look Maverick! Top Gun: Maverick (2022) Movie REACTION!! 

Man I might of screwd up the Audio on this a lil I suck at volume control!! I’m trying to work on it guys my apologies

This movie was 100% worth the years of waiting and delays

I didn't grow up with Top Gun so I wasn't really all that hyped when this movie was announced and came out but after watching it I wish I had seen it in theaters. It's a legit 10/10 film, one of the best I've ever watched without a doubt.

"It's what my dad would have done." Man this still hits hard.

From my understanding, the studios who produced "Top Gun: Maverick" rented US Navy jets for 11k per hour. It was well worth the investment as this film has some of the best practical effects I've seen in a while. CGI is really good these days but it can't replace the real thing.

Val Kilmer the actor who plays (Ice Man) has some very serious health problems in real life now. So, the fact that he's even in this sequel is incredible. I was in tears in the theater during his scene. All those years ago, I had such a crush on him in the first movie. ❤

I love how Admiral “Warlock” Bates (Charles Parnell) is secretly rooting for Maverick the whole time. Warlock is meant to be another classmate of Maverick (in interviews he was meant to be in the background of the class in ‘86). Love the man’s voice!

Just in time. I'm bored n baked af

Good job! Penny was in the first film. She was mentioned twice, once when Mav and Goose were being yelled at in the beginning and once by Meg Ryan in the bar. Also, did you notice in the bar scene that Hangman pushed 86 on the juke box? That was the year the original came out. Also, there was only 33 rounds left when Mav shot down his last plane. 33 was the total years from the original that the film was scheduled for release (2019). COVID of course delayed the release. Also, the plane in the end had LG on the side, initials for Lady Gaga who sang the final song. One more nugget. In the bar, "Let's Dance" by David Bowie was playing, who was in Labyrinth with Jennifer Connelly.

So glad you watched these back to back. Fun fact... the actor who plays Bob is Bill Pullman's son (he played the President in Independence Day) and he looks just like his dad!! Keep being you Leo 💙

Damn I might of screwed up the volume with this one … I suck at volume control I’ve been trying to work on it guys sorry!!

The stats of this film is crazy: The #1 movie of 2022. Best sequel of 2022. #1 movie of the decade. The 2nd film to gross over $1 billion in the movie theatre re-booming during Covid-19. Tom Cruise's biggest movie ever. A great story with so much nostagia of the original. The director, Joseph Kosinski has worked with Cruise before on the movie, Obilvion (2013). To be made and be made as real as possible makes this a great piece of work. Seeing Val Kilmer as Iceman again was so heartwarming, especially with knowing what he's really gone through. Top Gun has the longest running video game series, based on an film ever (1986-2010). The 18th and final game on PS3 subtitled "Hard Lock" (2010) and the plot is set years after the first film. Maverick as an instructor to a new generation of pilots and his best student, Lance Webb aka Spider taking on an elite special mission (predating the movie sequel's story, crazy). But in any event, the years of waiting for TG:M to was so worth the admission.

I never thought the sequel could be as good as the original. But it really was. That is very hard to do. 🙌

This was my s*** 🔥 let’s go!!!!

One of the greatest legacy films ever made. I was in HS when the first film came out. With this one, I'm in my fifties and facing many of the same uncertainties that Maverick did. It was a great story arc that needed over 30 years to be told...and it was worth it. The one thing you missed immediately was in the text intro. The original one never mentioned women, as they were not allowed to be in combat roles. That changed within a few years after the release of the film. Great reaction. You really got it all. :)

you HAVE to watch the Mission Impossible series. Tom Cruise is an absolute legend.

The Maverick and Iceman scene proved that despite being rivals in the past. Iceman always had his back after Goose dead. Iceman was Maverick's wingman outside of a plane and even in his last breath was drawn Iceman always had Maverick's back later in life. Also, one thing I love about this film. They succeed to make new characters interesting in just one movie. Rooster, Hangman, Phoenix and Payback are some of the best newcomers in this film. Hangman remind me of Iceman and his rivalry between Rooster remind of the rivalry between Iceman and Maverick. This is notalgia done right.

Tom Cruise who owns his own jet, helped put the cast in intense training you can look it up on RU-vid. The characters are great, I was curious how the story was gonna play out between Mav/Rooster. And was little iffy on it but after seeing the movie I loved it. The score/Soundtrack was great. And the actual effects are stunning. Side note shout out to Val kilmer (Iceman) who was actual sick, with throat cancer. That they used in the movie for his character as to why Iceman didn’t talk. They actually had digitize his voice. All in all this movie was worth all those years of waiting.

I'm 53. There's an old saying, but I've come to realize it's very true.... Youth and vigor will always lose to old ages experience in treachery❤😂👍

The goat of reactions is back 💪👏🔥

Hi 👋 Leo, it’s this or hockey game too choose to watch, no contest I’m rewatching this movie my favourite with y’all, hit the like 👍 button y’all, love ya Leo 🫶🏻💕🫶🏻

I hope you caught who "Penny was (Referenced as "Admiral's Daughter" three times in Top Gun), and the fact that in that last dogfight sequence Rooster and Maverick have dialog VERY similar to Maverick and Goose dialog in Top Gun. Also, "That museum piece" is a joke - the film production rented an F-14 from a museum to get these shots, so it really was a museum piece. Finally, the sailboat is a racing J-125 - last one made in 2003 and current on-line price of the cheapest one is $300,000.

Digging the reactions! You get me excited about movies I love and curious about ones I haven't seen. Rock on and be proud of yourself today!

The world needs a Top Gun: Phoenix & Bob spinoff. Could be fun.

I’m happy you mentioned Penny and having a good woman in his life. She didn’t tell him what to do, just the consequences if he didn’t find a way back. She had his back.

Saw this film in Dolby Digital center aisle, I was gripping onto the seat so frickin hard I was SWEATING

Best sequel ever!!! It was unreal In IMAX theater. Glad you liked it👍🏻👍🏻

I’m so proud of myself today!

I'm glad you watched this one after. I was hoping you would. I had never seen the first one before. But my parents made me since I was taking them to the theaters to see maverick. It hit so much better being fresh. Funny since the first one came out in theaters when they were teens.😂

Great reaction Leo! I LOVE that you called Goose Maverick's guardian angel. Seems obvious now but never occurred to me until you said it.

We need a Whiplash reaction now. The guy who played Rooster was great in it. One of the best films made man

As the first one is my fav this was totally as good! A lot I think missed the small detailed dark Star had a skunk 🦨 on its tail fin Homage to the governments secret Skunkworks development section And also the Top Gun original scene in the bar with their supposed instructor They used the same “coy” in this as maverick was the instructor they didn’t know hence their reaction as he was introduced as their instructor Small awesome touch and homage to the original And both women paired with maverick drove a Porsche Kelly Mcgillis drove a 356 and Penny a 911

46:26 "Come on, Mav. Do some of that pilot sh*t." Like Father, 36 years later Like Son

Crazy that Tom's like 56 in this, Jenny Connely is 50 - she's still as hot as ever. How they still look so good blows my mind. What a great freakin' movie. I was worried the sequel, 35 years later, would fall short. It surely didn't, in fact I think it is better than the original. And that says a LOT. They truly did it well, and right. Mad props to all involved. And what a feel-good story too. No bullshit, no wokeness, just a great story with great actors (all of them), and a fabulous ending. As it should be.

Now THIS is how you make a sequel! What a ride, just as memorable and fun as the first!

So some fun facts, the plane Tom is flying at the end is his own personal P-51 Mustang, which was built in 1946, also all the crew you see on the carrier aren't movie extra but the actual crews of the USS Theodore Roosevelt (CVN-71) and USS Abraham Lincoln (CVN-72), also all the scenes with them in the cockpit (the actors are in the backseat of a F/A-18 Super Hornet, and a pilot from the US Navy is upfront, I higly recomend wacthing the making of the First Top Gun, and how the sceond one was made as well,

The P-51 Mustang they fly at the end is owned by Tom Cruise.

Watching trilogy’s straight or at least close together makes them more exciting and understandable for sure. This made a BILLION DOLLARS at the box office, highest grocing movie in history so yeah,..there will be a third for sure. I could see Maverick playing either an instructor still or maybe an admiral or something and following Roosters career and the cast we came to know. They ALL went though very rigorous training to be able to ride in actual US Navy fighhter jets, learning to work the cameras and handle G’s etc, that’s a VERY expensive training that has never been giving for any movie by the Navy so I think they’ll take advantage of that and use the same group at some point . NO WAY it’d be the highest grossing movie in history and not make another one, hollywoods too greedy. I’d love to see it too.

You should react to: American Gangster "Harlem drug dealer Frank Lucas(Denzel Washington) rises to power in corrupt 1970s New York, equalling and surpassing the notorious Mafia families with the reach of his empire. On the other side of the law, honest cop Richie Roberts(Russell Crowe) dedicates himself to taking down `the most dangerous man walking the streets'. Lucas acts with impunity, smuggling heroin into the US in the coffins of American soldiers killed in Vietnam." Denzel Washington Russell Crowe Josh Brolin Cuba Gooding Jr

Love this movie! I saw the first one in theater when it came out, I had to wait 36 years for this sequel! Worth it!

so you kinda have a frame of reference Mach 10 is 7674 mph so NYC to LA in in like 20 minutes

Leo you on one lately! Bangin these movies out! That’s what I’m talkin about! My Man!!!

Hey LEO! Watch an old movie "The Right Stuff" from 1983 - about test pilots and the first Astronauts. There are great, GREAT actors in that movie. TG2 has a lot of Hommage to that movie.

Love your reactions. Great film. You had me cracking up in this reaction.

This is the best movie of 2022 for me. It makes me feel old asf cuz I remember seeing the first Top Gun when I was 6 years old and I’ve loved it ever since. The original was also released nearly 37 years ago!

Ha! Yeah both Tom and Maverick don't die since Tom does all his own stunts!

Penny Benjamin has it all great looks, Admirals daughter, owner of a bar, sailboat and Porsche 😂

Trivia - the guy who said "I appreciate it" when she rang the round bell is actually one of the real Top Gun pilots who flew the F18's in the movie.

Well done.

fun fact, the last scene between Mav and Penny in the plane is Tom Cruise's plane and him actually piloting the plane. The fact that this movie has more footage shot than the whole trilogy of Lord of the Rings is incredible. Approximately 800 hours of footage

I would HIGHLY recommend watching the bollywood (hindi language) movie "KAPOOR AND SONS" next!! You'll love it 🔥🔥

Did you get the Easter egg? When Maverick first meets Penny(Jennifer Connely) in the bar!! Music by David Bowie plays in the background, with whom she filmed Labyrinth when she was 16.And Hangman taps 86 into the jukebox, the year of the first Top Gun movie

You’ve gotta do “Sicario” and “Sicario: Day of the Soldado” back to back. Such a hardcore franchise

This movie is one of my favorite ever improved on its predecessor in every way also the darkstar scene is absolutely gorgeous especially the score

Before maverick split those first two planes in dog fight training you can hear Rooster say “guys,” and starts to put his mask on. Dude knew what was coming. 😂

Fun fact: Penny (Jennifer Connelly) is married to the actor who plays Jarvis (Paul Bettany) in real life.

Leo If you want a good comedy to laugh to, you should watch Peter Pan Goes Wrong. It’s only 1 hour and 15 minutes but it might be the most hilarious you will ever see.

Start Mission Impossible Movie's Tom Cruise Is Brilliant In Them And He Does His Own Stunts Too

Thank you for watching this ❤❤❤❤️. I saw it six times in theaters.

Great reaction. Could you make the viewing screen a little bigger? It's a strain on the eyes...

"brotha" you are thinking of is Clarence Gilyard, he passed in 2022 this other one I think worked on the Carrier deck

This movie is legendary. Tom Cruise never fails.

I miss the weed smoke even though i dont smoke but him smoking and he funny made me watch. Stupid RU-vid.

Where's your joint bro😂,I got my blunt rolled. I'm waiting on u💪

Maverick reminds me of a day when movies were good I mean really good and we need more of this and way less woke. I mean no more woke. I want movies that tell a good story and this movie does. Great movie and a great reaction.

Can’t say enough about this movie, it definitely had us on the edges of our seats 😂 As always a superb reaction and priceless commentary, this was gem 👏👏👏

It’s weird that the first movie was 30 years prior and Tom Cruise is only 8 years older.

Great reaction! These movies are so much fun and emotional! Would love to see your reaction to The Hunger Games!

33 years later. there is a few easter eggs in this movie one is where the tomcat's ammo counter stops at 33 rounds.

now imagine waiting 30 years in between and not even expecting a sequel and then this comes out. Alot of us were scared that they were going to fuck it up but they knocked it out of the park

Admiral Cain is correct. There is no way we would have sent pilots on this mission. We would have used those Tomahawks or Drones armed with Paveway II bombs.

The black guy looks nothing like sundown in topgun wth

We're gonna have to pretend the daughter didnt see Maverick's motorcycle parked right in front???

Your reaction video has been the best I've seen. Well done.

Obligatory Supportive Comment

“Maverick make her soakin’, boy” 😭

Hope you are having an great and awesome weekend ❤

Top tier reactions to both Top Guns! Enjoyed both and about to check on your Goonies reaction next. Suggestion: If you want to stick with 80s Tom Cruise real world action flix, then I think "Days of Thunder" should be next. Or if you want to stick with 80s aviation thrills, then I recommend "Iron Eagle" (air force answer to Top Gun). I feel you would enjoy both ✌️

This movie has no right to be this fucking good

mach 10 is 7672.7 miles per hour

The character that played/plays "Iceman" is going through throat cancer (in real life). Most considered his acting career to be over. Tom Cruise would not accept a substitute and found a way to get him involved. That he actually had a speaking part was pulling off a miracle.

Brad Pitt Seven Years in Tibet or not 😂

No. Not the same black guy

Phoenix can be my wing girl anytime.

Ohhhh so ur making ppl go to Patreon now for all GOT ⁉️ U could have at LEAST told us u weren't posting it on yt anymore. Just kno... #TheNightIsDarkAndFullOfTerrors

Val Kilmer used voice AI to talk in Top Gun: Maverick But revisiting that story without Kilmer's Iceman would have been disappointing for many fans and even for Kilmer himself. Following the chemotherapy sessions and tracheostomy he underwent because of his throat cancer treatment, he lost his speaking voice.

Let's Gooooooo 😅😅

He doesn't notice that standing next to Mav and Goose is a current 4 star Admiral? There are very few of those, and there has been less then 280 of those in US Navy history. You dont fuck with a guy who's best friend can have you licking a bilge clean tomorrow. You are REQUIRED to know the chain of command, you actually have to memorize it.

MAN YOU GOTTA TELL PEOPLE WHEN YOU SWITCH TO A WHOLE NEW CHANNEL!!!!!! I can't believe you had this thing a whole week and only just TODAY mentioned something on the old channel!!!!!

Such a good movie!!!

Lets get it!!!

What a movie! Just watched your top gun 1986 reaction and now this one top gun maverick! 2 absolute bangers! 🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸

Should have won best picture that year but the academy never seems to give a shit what people like, just what ticks all their woke boxes. This was awesome and pretty much saved the industry by making 1.5 billion at the box office. They don't care. The always pick something we've never heard of or don't care about seeing and bypass anything remotely entertaining with very few exceptions.

Great watching your reaction - terrific movie. Also.......don't see you smoking so keep it going. Mav didn't smoke either!!!

Throughout the movie, I kept wanting Rooster to say, "I really wish I had my dad's dog tags, but some jackass threw them in the ocean."

Clarence Gilyard "Sundown" in Top Gun, passed away Nov 2022 after a long illness. Dont know if that kept him out of the reunion in Maverick, but he'd retired from acting years earlier. Props to Jennifer Connelly for taking sailing lessons for the sailing scene. The real deal, not CGI. Have yo agree with Rooster on the F-18's chances. It's certainly more agile than the F-14, particularly in the high angle-of-attack, low speed aspects of air combat, which is all the more important against a 5th Gen fighter. You can't take them out at a distance because of their stealth, so it has to be up close where it inevitably becomes a "knife fight in a phone booth" where the F-18 is lethal.

The "4 years behind thing" doesn't really make sense. If Maverick pulled his papers one year, Rooster could have re-applied the next. When I interviewed for an appointment to the Military Academy (the real one), they asked me "what if you don't get in this year?" I told them "I'll go to college somewhere else and re-apply next year." Got the slot, and this year is my 30th reunion. True story. Also, Beat Navy.

For context, Mach 10 is 7,672mph. That gets across the US in about 30 mins. You can fly from New York to Thailand in about an hour and a half. Within our atmosphere, thats incomprehensibly fast

46:15 so this looked super hokey and faked with CG to me… and it is CG because they didn’t have access to Russian fighter jets, but the jets in question CAN ACTUALLY DO THAT. There is footage of them doing it at air shows and during testing, it looks like drifting in the sky. I guess it’d be a controlled recoverable flat spin. It’s kind of useless for how modern fighter jets fight nowadays, you’d be dead via long range missile long before such a maneuver was useful, but it’s fucking cool.

Hope you checkout the hilarious parody of Top Gun, Hot Shots, you'll be laughing your ass off! But don't watch the sequel until you've watched the first 3 Rambo movies, as the sequel moves on from Top Gun and parodies Rambo 3 the most. It would probably help to have seen Platoon and Apocalypse Now. There are also some references to Basic Instinct and a couple to Navy Seals and Hunt for Red October, which probably aren't worth going out of your way to see beforehand, unless you were already planning on watching at least one of them soon.
