Guessing mid-40's with corrective lenses rules me out of the recruiting pool. Just want to fly an A-10 or F-16
Didn't the first movie create a bump in the number of people wanting to be pilots/aviators?

Our military is pretty ****ing awesome.

Those of you who don't like cheering in movie theaters sound like real fun people to be around.
"The last thing I want to experience in a room full of people is communal joy."
Such a weird, grumpy take.
I admit, even when people are clapping and cheering and screaming their heads off in, say, Endgame, I don't personally join in, but it sure is fun as hell to experience and be around in the moment.

Been geekily checking on on seats available for my Friday night IMAX showing. It's slowly filling up, but the positive press should... um... goose things a bit.

Wow. I was expecting closer to 85%
Like, I bought a Top Gun: Maverick poster. I honestly can’t remember the last time I did that for a new movie.

TOP GUN: MAVERICK is probably the best Hollywood action movie since Mission: Impossible — Fallout. I wonder what they have in common.

My review of the exhilarating, beautifully controlled TOP GUN: MAVERICK, the rare throwback that feels like an advance: https://t.co/xSMRDYqWDg

TOP GUN: MAVERICK is miles beyond the first film in every conceivable way. Pays respect while forging its own path with blistering editing, thunderous sound & sweeping music. A big film with even bigger emotions that should be seen on the biggest screen. One of Tom Cruise’s best. pic.twitter.com/7Z8cDSYHV2

If TOP GUN felt the need for speed, the vastly superior TOP GUN: MAVERICK mostly feels the need for Tom Cruise, delivering slick thrills and self-worship. It's going to make a fortune. My @THR reviewhttps://t.co/gO3HCMavgG

Was so bowled over by Top Gun: Maverick all day yesterday I forgot to do Wordle and lost my 129-day streak. There’s your review

As for my own review? TOP GUN: MAVERICK is absolutely incredible and it will go down as one of the great action movie sequels along with T2, Aliens, and The Dark Knight. Give it a Best Picture nomination and bow down to the GOAT himself, @TomCruise. WOW! https://t.co/ZproA66ByO

Yes, #TopGunMaverick is a really entertaining movie. But it’s also maybe the most personal thing Tom Cruise has ever made? It’s all one big metaphor for Tom Cruise’s career and his vision of what movies should be. https://t.co/S7KQR2oN6R

Is TOP GUN: MAVERICK the best/most satisfying blockbuster since FURY ROAD? Since I saw it I've had the same, must see it again/feel all the feels obsessive compulsive preoccupation that is otherwise unfamiliar.
— Josh Horowitz (@joshuahorowitz) May 12, 2022
Don't get me wrong, FURY ROAD is an all timer but...
It's true, it's true! Top Gun: Maverick is the most fun I've had at the pictures in a long, long, long, long (long) time. Go see it, then see it again, then go home and dream about it, bake it a cake and declare yourselves wed. A proper, full-fat, note-perfect blockbuster

Wrote briefly on TOP GUN: MAVERICK in our round-up, but twenty-four hours on I'm doubly resolute in crowning it best of 2022 (so far, etc). The first proper emotionally driven, big stakes, loud-af blockbuster I've walked away from exhilarated in *years* https://t.co/QvQsiTkb1z
— Jack King (@jackarking) May 12, 2022
Overjoyed to report that Top Gun: Maverick is the finest action film since Mad Max: Fury Road. See this thing in IMAX enormo-vision eleventy flajillion times. https://t.co/QuPaktWyn8

I Have Spoken said:
Music video makes the song better (definitely more shown here than in trailer so beware)
Jen Connelly's still got it y'all
From the Mike Ryan review:
Hallelujah!

There are no moments when I was thinking this looks like a CGI cartoon, like so many "blockbuster" movies do today. It all looks so real my stomach was in knots the whole time. Again, this is how it's done.
Hallelujah!
Here were the only 3 'negative' reviews I saw listed earlier on RT:
guy from Polygon ...but if you clicked the link the title of his review was: Top Gun: Maverick is Better - and Nicer - than the 1986 original
Forbes:
A review from a site called Black Girl Nerds

Tom Cruise's 'Top Gun: Maverick' is an audio/visual treat and generally well-made summer blockbuster even as it becomes a 'Rise Of Skywalker'-style nostalgic ode to itself.

Is 'Top Gun: Maverick' the movie that will mark a generation? No. Its predecessor will always hold that title. Is it a fun Hollywood film? Absolutely. Does it have substance? Not really.
No Spoilers in the Review but there are some plot exposition
So, should I go see this?
Nah, wait until it shows up one lazy Saturday afternoon on your local CW station.double aught said:

Opening weekend predictions:
I want to say $150MM+
But I think it's more like $100-125MM but it holds like hell and ultimately ends up with greater than >$400MM and maybe even $500MM domestically.
My entire family will be seeing this. My parents, my wife, my kids. And they are all excited. So maybe my numbers are low??

I agree, I think $120M with a great hold in subsequent weekends.
Not sure it can get to 500 though. Maybe 385-400.

IMAX shows will benefit from tremendous word of mouth. Those theaters will print $.
This will be the first movie since pre-Covid that will stir the public through word of mouth for a long time at the box office. I simply don't think a lot of people remember what a blockbuster looks like that carries both young and old generations alike. It is going to be massive.

I want to believe this. I just love Top Gun and Tom Cruise action movies so much that I'm afraid my bias is creeping in. But for this to make less money than Dr Strange or other Marvel movies seems crazy to me. It SHOULD be extremely successful if the reviews/experience is what it appears to be.
A movie in the most successful film franchise of all time making more than a sequel to a 36 year old movie is crazy to you?
My parents, my wife, my kids don't care about Dr Strange. They just don't. Spider-Man maybe.
I'm not knocking Dr Strange. But so much of why 3 marvel movies per year make so much money is because there aren't very many movies like Top Gun 2 anymore to capture their attention. Basically all big budget movies are super hero now. I would think the depth/breadth of audience for Top Gun 2 would be more. We'll see.
