Heads up, do not watch if you don't want any spoilers. There is definitely more from the movie in this than most might care to see.I Have Spoken said:
Music video makes the song better
Good thought, I'll add that to my post. Sorry if you were avoiding all of it.

Damn it, this got me fired up all over again.
I've seriously watched this thing in full like five times today.
I've always respected Gaga's talent, but wouldn't consider myself a big fan or anything, and was so-so on this song when it first dropped earlier this week.
Now? Combined with so much incredible footage (in 4K, too!), this might have me more pumped than any trailer.
It's just such an awesome throwback, not only to when singles like this were commonplace for blockbusters, but in its overall vibe as well. It feels so '90s, in the best way, like I could catch this video on MTV Beach House after getting home from the neighborhood pool.
Three. More. Weeks.

It's cool but it's no Danger Zone. Within the first 2 seconds of that you are thinking about buzzing the tower. I don't think that I'll ever hear Hold my Hand and think Top Gun.
I'll admit. Just listening to the song I was like meh….
But watching video… I'm like oh hell yeah…. Dang it I'm so ready for this movie!!

Right?
The visuals makes all the difference.
For what it's worth, my buddy who's seen the movie multiple times just texted me this...
"This song kills in the movie. Kills"

Not
Wait
Didn't understand her early and didn't try to either...
But her work with Tony Bennett, coming to perform for hurricane Harvey relief at A&M, work on A Star Is Born, and now this... Big fan. Immensely talented and seems like a genuinely good person.

So apparently Cruise is piloting the helicopter HIMSELF.
Call me when he lands an F14 in that damn NES game.
The controls became inverted when you had to land. Basically if you did the opposite of what it said you landed it.

Also, the P51 is a beautiful aircraft.
I actually just saw the video on MTV (twice!) I feel like I'm in a totally awesome time machine.Quote:

Ha, awesome.
Never been much of a fan of her music. Funnily enough, the songs she sings that I actually really like are the two she sings in A Star is Born, and I do think Million Reasons is a good song.
I started watching it, then started seeing scenes I haven't seen in the first 2 trailers, so decided to not watch it any further. I really want to avoid spoilers for this movie, because I have been pumped for it for years. Great seeing these reviews being filled with such praise.

I like LG a lot, saw her at the Super Bowl in Houston and was hooked. This song has no soul, hopefully the movie kicks ass.
Seeing this in Vegas opening weekend! Taking my 80yo mom there for her birthday. I think she might even be more hyped for seeing this movie than me.
LV actually has a poor selection of theaters. And the lone 1.43 IMAX location...I am practically the only one reserved on 5/26.

Yep, don't watch it. Gave away too much imo. Was definitely a cool video though and the song is growing on me, but wish they would have stuck with the trailer shots.

Yea I closed the vid down about halfway through. Out of sight out of mind! I don't even remember what I saw.
Tickets at Alamo on 5/26. Going with a group so I didn't choose the theater.
I definitely plan to see it again in IMAX.

Got my ticket for 5/27. 1pm.
Can't wait.
Can't wait.
Yes I’m gonna say it and I don’t care who disagrees. #Topgun #TopGunMaverick is a perfect movie. They don’t make movies like that anymore. You wait and see. Your expectations of this movie should be higher than you think. pic.twitter.com/kQ4ecLsLQG

No you don’t need to see it, it is strong enough on its own that you don’t need it but I would recommend it. A lot of great Easter eggs that reward you for seeing it but you won’t be lost if you don’t And yes IMAX https://t.co/TMLtyVlah3

#TopGunMaverick is the best movie I've seen in a looooong time. Everything about it was spectacular.
— Andrew Ghai (@AndrewGhai) May 10, 2022
Jesus F14ing Christ #TopGunMaverick is incredible. No pun intended but it literally took my breath away at times. The tension & emotion are real and off the charts. My favorite film of 2022 so far by a mile, a Best Picture nom would not surprise me. Could Cruise save the Oscars? pic.twitter.com/cRFnVdJV3e

I have loooong thought this movie would be a massive blockbuster. One of those tweets said something like "they don't make movies like that anymore". That has been my thought for a while now as comic book movies and cgi have simply dominated everything. Simply not many movies outside of that genre. I think the run at the top is going to be long lived for this one.
Is this shaping up to be the best year ever for IMAX movies?
It's weird thinking that IMAX has been around for about five decades and it's still a rarity. I guess the camera and physical size of the film was a real bottleneck. But now that's been removed. And theaters have an incentive to go IMAX since it's something that really can't be matched in a home environment. Hopefully we're at a bit of a turning point.
Our SF press screening of #TopGunMaverick ERUPTED into applause during the climax and I’ve never in all my days heard that at an SF press screening. And then I cried. pic.twitter.com/iPESotxoZO

(SF = San Francisco)
So she heard no applause at any Avengers movie or NWH? I call shenanigans.
Critics aren't typically Marvel fanboys. They are, however, known for being older white dudes who might be more open to something like this. Also, Robinson is legit. I doubt she's exaggerating here.
She also seems to be a contrarian in every podcast I've listened to her in.
She's a fine podcaster, but man her opinions and general personality can be grating.
But who knows.

Ok, but I doubt she's outright lying, seeing as just about about everyone is having the same experience/reaction.
To be clear, I don't doubt there was applause. I just doubt she's NEVER heard applause in any press screening ever.
Then again maybe she's only seen small indies in SF.

Why'd she "cry?"
