💯 agreed. I didn't waste my time seeing Tenet in cinema. I made the effort for No Time To Die and enjoyed it to an almost empty screening. This felt like the old days. Packed, scintillated audience, genuine big screen action, 90% reality not 100% CG, a human story - and absolutely riveted throughout. I went back the day after and relived it all again. I hope it does extremely huge numbers as it was the best cinema experience I can remember having this century.
@jm gee I found myself marvelling at the brilliant pacing of the film on second viewing. I thought they got all the plates spinning and kept them spinning masterfully.
Say what you will about Tom. Love or hate him. But he puts 200% in to everything he does. He’s there pushing things and technology. Gotta give the guy his due.
Yes I completely agree! I have always admired his work ethic, ambition, drive, and intelligence when it comes to his movie career. And how he makes sure that every detail of the movie making process is exceptional.
@@princepessa16 totally agree. He loves movies, making movies and pushing boundaries in every area and expects the rest from his fellow cast and crew members. That’s to be admired regardless.
It's real. The hype is real. All of the praise is deserved. This movie is phenomenal. Tom Cruise just schooled everyone on what a movie event really is.
100%. I made that mistake with Pirates of the Caribbean - went "nah I don't like pirate movies" and didn't watch it until many years after they were released... And greatly regretted it. This time I went "No. I will watch it at least once." And it's the best movie I've seen in quite a few years. I'm struggling to think of the last movie I enjoyed this much.
yeah none of those fake cgi childish marvels movies can compare to top gun maverick! and tom cruise doesnt even need to wear armored suit , cape or cowl
Tom Cruise was very star-struck when he appeared on this show with Seth McFarlane who made fun of Cruise on The Family Guy. Cruise enjoyed McFarlane's 1000 voices.
I just got back home from watching it in IMAX. It's the best movie and cinematic experience i have ever had and ever will have i'm sure of it. Thank you to every person who made this movie, and thank you to everyone in history making the technologies capable of making a movie like this! I cried a few times throughout, what a rollercoaster ride!
Same here. I’ve seen it twice in IMAX. Best movie I’ve ever seen. And I’d say that even if I wasn’t a huge mil aviation fan! The tie ins to the original are brilliant. Acting stellar. Aerial cinematography breathtaking. Story line tight. The ending surprisingly emotional. Incredible movie!!!!
I don’t know what it was about this movie, but it touched on so many emotions. Joy, sorrow, humor, pride…Thrilled they were able to touch on numerous themes from the original film and not be dowdy. Maybe it was seeing the original in the theater and many more on cable with my mom who has passed on or my absolute infatuation with aviation, but I am grateful for all who were involved with this film. Tom Cruise absolutely deserves to be recognized for his work in this film. While I didn’t become a fighter pilot like I had dreamed, I did manage to become a private pilot. Thank you Mav and Ice for the inspiration all those years ago. 🙂
I love how he doesn't just talk to Graham he talks to all the guests so they are included as well , Tom really loves what he does and he's saving cinema right now , he should be applauded for that!
The Covid thing is past and they need to get back to the red couch (they may have since this video but I haven't seen it). The spreading the guests around causes a disconnect that doesn't happen on the couch.
@@mortimerbrewster3671 my comment has nothing to do with covid , I was commenting on how tom is interactiing with all the guests and Involves them in what he is saying! I didn't mention anything about covid 🙄
@@intotheunknown1991 My point is that they are spread out now so they are disconnected in a way they weren't before. They all interacted with each other before but with them spread out so much it is too disconnected. Read the entire comment.
You gotta respect Tom Cruise man Almost in his 60’s and he is single handedly saving the in person theater experience God bless him man a real professional he takes nothing for granted an absolute beast
@@surf12fd get over it …. We know he’s a Scientologist. Movie has nothing todo with what his life choices are weather right or wrong. I go to see a movie for the movie
@@surf12fd let’s be real, I’m a Navy combat vet who is now in civilian flight school in Miramar, CA (as in next door to TOP GUN). I live in Coronado (I work out at North island’s gym daily). Tom pays his own way to flying his own fighter plane (yeah he doesn’t own a jet but he CAN fly one, not the F/A-18 but decommissioned ones that he rents) he is an expert helicopter pilot, he is very good looking, very rich in his own business doing EXACTLY what he wants to do… I mean come on! He is better than 99.9% of us! I’m okay with admitting that at this point in my life! I say that as a man who has been in combat, who is training to be a professional pilot… I would gladly trade my life for his right now. I don’t believe in Scientology, but if my life had worked out as perfectly as this guys had when so few peoples lives do work out the way they would want them to… most of us spend decades doing drudgery we can barely stand with the hope of one tenth the adventure and happiness this guy gets to live on a regular basis.
Ich mag ihn auch sehr gerne. Respekt vor seinem Arbeitseifer, trotzdem muss ich sagen Top Gun Maverick ist ein Märchenfilm, denn in Wirklichkeit werden diese dargestellten Sequenzen nie stattfinden, sorry
He is very personable. I saw him once when he visited Johnson Space center. He was dating Penelope Cruz at the time. She ignored us but he talked to us and was very nice.
He is extremely demanding of himself and those around him but you don't achieve greatness by letting things slide or being lazy., I don't agree with his personal beliefs but as an actor I have 100% respect
My wife and I were both not really that bothered about going to see Maverick in the theatre, we thought it wouldn't be good honestly. Well, it turned out to be absolutely incredible. I was brought to tears.
Hands down one of the BEST movies and cinematic experiences of all time. Tom Cruise is one of the entertainment GOATS and his passion for bringing the very best is evident. The cast could not have been any better in choice or performance. Amazingly well done to everyone involved, what an absolute pleasure for all of us!!!!
Ive been a pilot for 27 years and I am in awe at this movie; in awe at the undertaking of the cinematography; and in awe at the logistics of making this movie without green screen. These actors have done more pilot sh-it in this movie than I have in 27 years. Simply amazing xx
Tom Cruise... The Academy has to give you that Best actor for Top Gun: Maverick. Not ONLY the acting in this film but the amount of work put in to make this happen for everyone... literally everyone.... is a breakthrough in the film industry and storytelling.
Went tonight and saw Tom Cruise in Top Gun Maverick. This film was everything I had hoped for. Amazing, stunning, beautiful, remarkable story, fighter jet action, acting was superb!!! Made me proud to be an American🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸
I second that. Saw it in IMAX on memorial day. I'm gonna wait a couple weeks then see it again. Saw the original 3 times in the theaters as a teen, then countless times on VHS and DVD.
Thanks for your love, support and kind gesture towards me, I'm feeling cheerful and decided to discuss with my random fan on Google chat, feel free to drop your email
I remember that a lot of people started "hating" Tom Cruise because of some of his beliefs.. I honestly don't care if the guy was a flat earther.. He's one of the greatest actors and film creators of our time. Love everything this guy touches. Great casting for the new one too
When he talks you can see his years of experience in film and life wisdom comes out. The seriouseness of the tone and everything. Then when you look at him and he looks better than most young guns and almost handsome as he was 30 years ago with the same sense of adventure. A truly remarkable person. Great to live in the same era with him.
Tom Cruise gave us what Hollywood lacks right now. A movie with heart, real locations, quality action scenes, a good plot and no weird agendas. Amazing movie.
to all the people saying things about Tom Cruise, calling him narcissistic etc, the only reason he said I and he is because that's actually what he did.. he's not just an actor, he's a very big part of the whole process. this man has put himself through so much training etc to make sure that the audience gets as real to life experience when they watch his movies.... I'm thinking there's a lot of jealous people on here that wish they had half of the experiences that Tom Cruise has.😅😅
Tom Cruise is an idol among man. He is an inspiration for humanity, and a driving force for civilization to aspire to. A simple gesture for some is a grand act of warmth and kindness to others. History will look fondly upon your life and career. This was a message straight from my heart, to you, Sir Cruise ❤ 🍺
This is so much more than just the movie. It's patriotic and it takes us back to the time before social media when you just hang out with your friends and enjoyed life for what it is.
Lolol. It’s a movie. Stop pushing the right wing talking points. It is entertainment just kid Star Wars, Marvel, or Indiana Jones. Don’t ruin it by making it a political statement.
@@TJJulkowski Do I know you? "Talking points". You need to stop reading into something g that isn't said. I enjoyed the movie and said why. Has a surely nothing to do with you.
@@TJJulkowski it’s not right wing to have enjoyed a movie with no social media cr4p mentioned once or part of the story. That’s just personal preference. And tbh I agree. It was refreshing.
Top Gun Maverick does something I didn't think possible : it exceeds the original. Better story, better cast, better written and way better flying sequences. Totally amazing....
I don't agree on the cast though. All of the pilot actors in the first movie just had something that pilots in the 2nd movie didn't. Can't describe it correctly. They were just... more cool.
Loved the film! I was a fan of the first one too but this one, especially at this time, is so great for so many reasons. No nudity, no sex, no blood, no violence and I think maybe a couple curse words but mostly a great film with a great message of love of family, love of country. Hollywood just proved they can do this and come up with a spectacular winner. Hope they keep doing this - might be revolutionary for the tanking culture that needs salvation!
Don't recommend supporting this movie because it is a JOKE to release it during this time in our nation when O'Biden and his Demoncrats are destroying our military from the inside out! Biden has allowed Transgenderism to occur in the Military with us paying for it, taught our military Critical Race Theory and now he wants a "Thought Police" agency developed to screen our Military Men/Women for loyalty to Democrat values ONLY! Presently, our military couldn't fight their way out of a wet paper bag, so whose this movie fooling? This Original movie came out in 1986 when Pres. Reagan was Commander and Chief and morale for our Military was skyrocketing because they were a force that was fearless and could stomp anyone. Now, our Military can't pay anyone to join to meet their recruiting goals. Hollyweird should have been smarter and released this in 2024 when the real "hope and change" comes when President Trump is at the helm again to rebuild our military that is presently in taters! Pray that Russia and China don't take advantage of our weak state of readiness thanks to our traitorous Democrats that would sell out their mother, because they are nothing but snowflakes!
@@themilitarumpainter lol that is true. I think what Rebecca is saying is that it isn’t gory and even though it’s “violence”, it’s something you’re not afraid of showing your kid
Tom literally saved the movie industry and it's association with threatres all around the world. Streaming platforms are here to stay but movies like these have their own place, on a big screen and giving the audience the best thrill they can. Thank you, Tom for everything you do 🙏
That's like saying Keanu Reeves is the Godfather of action movies because John Wick... If there's a Godfather of action movies, there would be two, Stallone and Schwarzenegger.
The one thing about Tom is he doesn't do anything by halves. Total commitment. I like how green screen wasn't an option, he wants the real thing, visually looks better for it. Just like that Mission Impossible stunt on the side of the plane.....all or nothing.
Look how he involves everyone in the room. Such a genuinely great guy. Everyone talks about keanu while Tom is always flying the same flag! The guy is a legend and deserves everything he gets for a lifetime of passion and graft. I true spokesman for the best of humanity
Just got back from the theatre. Top Gun Maverick was actually better than the first one in my opinion. Looked more realistic and because they recorded these actors inside the planes with real facial expressions. The plot was better and the action was well down. Tom was fantastic.
Tom is one of the most amazing actors ever. He’s drive and dedication he puts into every movie is remarkable. This new Top Gun movie is mind blowing. I could not believe they were actually that involved and literally in the cockpits of the fighter jets. Frkn bravo!!!
One thing I appreciate about Tom is that he is very aware and present of everyone present when he's talking. The fact that he looks to people and alternates his gaze and body toward's them is very respectful
As a fan I cannot recall a Tom Cruise film I did not enjoy. As an actor, producer, film maker, entertainer, he is surely one of the GOAT's, Greatest of All Time.
Tom is my favorite actor. Really nice and friendly person! I met him once at work and he didn't care if you were just an IT guy in the same room he's in, he introduces himself and treats you like he knows you. Great guy!
I've never felt more tense in an action movie than in the last third of TOP GUN: MAVERICK. you HAVE to see this on a big screen. it's the most spectacular sequel since ALIENS or Terminator 2, and possibly the best action movie of all time. it's gloriously dumb and wickedly smart all at the same time, masterful Hollywood filmmaking firing on all thrusters, and tom cruise is an ICON. 🙌
@@johnnyweismuller6895 Wouldn’t say that I liked them “better”, but those that can compete (for me) are definitely The Dark Knight and The Green Mile. Completely different genres, but they still stuck with me for different reasons, as with Maverick.
I saw it yesterday and I can say with complete sincerity that it was worth every minute of waiting that I and millions of other Top Gun fans have been waiting for. I can't thank Tom and the production team along with the rest of the cast enough for taking me back to my childhood. The motorcycles, the planes, the relationship with Penny, the memory of Goose, Ice.... everything, absolutely nothing is missing. An eighties touch with modern details. A+
The fact this film held my son’s attention, who’s only 6 and is a HUGE Jurassic Park/World fan, not once, but *twice* in the theater speaks VOLUMES to how amazing the entire film is. I love that the storyline is simple & not all over the place. Top Gun has always been a favorite film of mine, along with Tombstone and The Labyrinth! So the cast is a dream come true, newcomers (to Top Gun) included! I was born in 1986 & *HOPED* my kids would love the 1st movie so we could go together to see the sequel. My daughter (14) loved it, my son was on board and now we’ve purchased it and have watched it 2 more times this week! Truly a spectacular cast, wonderful storyline, and highlights Tom Cruise’s remarkable genius in the movie industry.
Their conversations are like close family or very close friends. Their friendship is the best 🥰 Love to see that. Especially The joke Miles Teller: He's been waiting my entire life to work with him literally. Tom Cruise: 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
Magnificent movie! On Sunday I saw a lot of older man and woman (45-65age) watching Topgun 2 at the cinema!and Topgun2 must watch in the 4DX cinema! When the maintheme played,I held back tears,I can't believe they bring it back.
Man I got goosebumps so many times during this movie. When dangerzone and anthem were played in the aircraft carrier and bike scene 🤩. The rest of the movie was awesome as well of course. Think I'm going to have to watch it again.
I just watched it today, brought back so many good memories. Rounded up the grief on Goose nicely. Took me a damn while to realise that Penny is THE penny benjamin 😅
@@TheSuperk25 you mean his callsign is Rooster? Well... He seems quite cocky from the trailers, so it works too. Plus, it's still a bird, so I guess it's fine :)
saw it today in norwich...it is fantastic...even better than the original one..great supporting cast too....you wont be disappointed..oh and the soundtrack is excellent
@@georgekoul lol, nitpicking, mate. I’m old, so everybody looks young to me. I imagine having bazillions of $$$ and access to the best skin care on the planet doesn’t hurt. Don’t know if he’s had plastic surgery (and don’t care) but, if he has, it’s certainly not obvious. Any way ya slice it, he’s one helluva good looking specimen.
as someone who went to school for aviation maintenance I REALLY appreciated and LOVED the practical effects! ALL he cares about is making BADASS movies! and the fact that hes an actual pilot and ACTUALLY Flying makes it that much better!
this movie is soon fking good . pulled my attention in and dam even had me in my feelings , the story line , the effort. the backstory of filming , the actors , etc. absolutely a deserves Oscar or Emmy
Tom cruise is actually insanely cool aside from the personal stuff. As an actor he is multi talented and way way under appreciated by the new generations
I love Tom Cruise movies! Because he doesn’t fill them with CGI nonsense. He takes the time to train for these flying stunts, and to train other people as well. They are real action movies!
Jennifer Connelly is a very underated actress. Yes she won an Oscar for a supporting role but she rarely get a great starring role in a movie while Jennifer Lawrence for some reason always get great roles. She still look goregous after all these years. My first intro to Jennifer was Labryinth and was mesmorized by her eyes.
A career spanning 30+ years, $50M net worth (according to internet), Won an Oscar, Bafta, Golden Globe and a myriad other award wins and nominations. Id say very few actresses are or have been rated higher. She’s had a remarkable career.
My husband flew fighters for years and he and all of his friends hated the first Top Gun. "They don't do it that way"....this is such B. S." I hated it everytime it came on tv but THIS ONE is 100% different. He was glued to the screen the entire time. Plus everytime we went to see it the lobby was full of current and past flyers talking about their experiences and squadrons. It was GREAT!
I am not a fan of Tom Cruise or the TopGun film, but I was genuinely impressed with this film. I would highly recommend to anyone who is curious about this film to go see it in IMAX. It was really a great film. Cinema has reached a new milestone with this film
It's a perfect movie from all aspects - the aeronautics, the adrenaline rush you get from watching them on the mission, there's great heart to it that brings the first movie along for everyone who wants to tap into the nostalgia of it all, there's romance and it's just really freaking cool. Oh and I found myself properly tearing up and not in the part that I expected to. Definitely want to check it out again on the big screen - maybe IMAX the next time.
One of the best movies I have seen at the cinema. Just wow. I’m going back to watch it again in IMAX. This exceeded my expectations. The hype is REAL!!
I remember seeing the first poster announcing the movie back in 2021. I was in the theatre watching suicide squad with my best friend. We were waiting to be let into the theatre after buying snacks and we’re sitting right in front of the poster. I didn’t notice until later when she went to the toilet and I was bored enough to look around. When she came back I was like >>OMG, TOP GUN is getting a SEQUEL!>Ok.
My 82 years old Precious Mother saw a F-18 performing Aerobatics in Aero India Airshow at Bangalore and Both of Us can't wait this Movie to be released in India!
I went to the cinema yesterday with a very good friend of mine to see Top Gun Maverick. We loved every minute of it. It was fantastic & watching it on the big screen was amazing. Well done to Tom. He is a great awesome actor.
Lol, "they don't call don't call me Bozo for nothing"! Bwahaha, love it. Some of the most highly skilled people in the world and don't take themselves too seriously = proper attitude 🤙
35 years and I cannot wait for Wednesday. No sequel has meant more to me than this, just hearing the new piano version of the soundtrack makes me emotional.
Tom is that beacon of hope for me. I have seen all his movies growing up. and i always looked up to him. Today he is a force in the industry..a hell of a guy and it makes me proud. Amazing soul. May he be blessed.
One thing many probably don't recall - Penny Benjamin is mentioned in the first Top Gun TWICE. She was there before Charlie and can probably count as Pete's first and true love which is why she get's him in the end. She was always part of the story. xo
Saw the movie last night and it was brilliant all round.. sweet memories of the original. Saw Top Gun in 1986 as a young woman saw Maverick 2022 35 years later with my son & girlfriend. Tom Cruise is ageless in the movie. Fantastic movie flying scenes are exceptional
