    The people who were upset when I wore an SS uniform to a Schindler’s List screening in 1993 owe me an apology.

  • It's perfectly okay for you to think this movie was "mediocre". You said it yourself: you were born in the 80's, which means it's impossible for you to understand the context of the original, and ther

Saw it tonight.  I was 8 when the original came out.  I saw the original again on Tuesday as a refresher.   I thought this one was better than the original.  Fight me!

Loved it. Loved it. Absolutely loved it. The perfect amount of callbacks to the original stuff  see it on the biggest loudest screen you can find and you will not be disappointed.

Oh and Jennifer Connelly is pure smoke

#858

agree on the callbacks...flashbacks were perfect to bring any young'un who never saw the original up to speed and callbacks like the football game were pitch perfect...my theater actually broke into applause at that scene 😄

i'd only seen Miles Teller in Whiplash (fantastic) and a little of The Offer so far, he's put together a nice little resume. he nailed the Goose-isms, great casting.

If you are on your phone in the theater I hope someone kicks your ass.

 
i had a baseball game streaming too. The place was empty, no one around me

also I really wish Jon Hamm did more movies.

he was the act person i was most surprised hasn't made it big as a leading man. lots of good character roles, loved him in Baby Driver and The Town.

you might be wrong. people of all ages go to and enjoy those marvel movies. my friend’s kid is in high school and I asked him if he was excited about top gun 2 and his reply was “wait what’s top gun again?”  I don’t think the majority of people under 25 know or care about top gun. and tens of millions of people under 25 are fanatical about marvel. so I say nay.

but then again you may be right. 

Yep. This and kids under 25 go see the same movie repeatedly in the theatre.

Rooster and Phoenix were great, hangman and bob right behind them 

I loved the movie, but hated Bob.  He served absolutely no purpose.

If “Man From Snowy River” was playing in a theater I would likely see it repeatedly. 

#878

Just sat down for my 7:30 showing. Apparently I didn’t get the memo to wear my flight suit and aviators.

#880

Will probably try to go see it again at the Cinemark in Pflugerville with the DBox motion seats.

Did it set up top gun 3 and beyond?

Probably not, and that’s fine with me. Starting with Tom’s comments before the film began, to the perfect amount of nostalgia notes mixed with new characters, to Gaga’s 80s-esque power ballad, and then the incredible aviation sequences…Everything about this film was a love letter to the fans who have loved Top Gun since 1986. And a very fitting goodbye.

Thank you, Tom.

Fucking awesome movie.  It's part remake, part sequel.  The plot is cheese but I didn't care.  I said it before but major props to Tom Cruise for digging his heels in on theatrical release.

And yes, Jennifer Connelly is my wheelhouse.  Good Lord, she's hot.

I didn't realize it but "Penny Benjamin" is the name of the admiral's daughter Maverick made a pass at in the first movie.  The character wasn't in the movie but Goose leans in and says "Penny Benjamin."  Well played.

#885

It's not a great movie as great movies are defined but it's fucking awesome and I'm laughing that it's pulling a 99% on Rotten Tomatoes.  It ain't Schindler's List but I'd pay actual money to watch it again.

#887

SIAP… Cruise might make $200,000,000 on this movie- he got 10% first dollar that escalated to 20% if it hits certain bench marks. He’s going to set the Memorial Day box office record at over 140 million in all likelihood. If he hits the 200 million he will take down Bruce Willis for biggest earnings on one film, at an adjusted for inflation 196 million for “The 6th Sense.”  
That is the kind of stroke you have when you are a 13th level Thetan. 
Glad to see all the glowing reports. My wife and daughter have the Rona so I’m a ticking time bomb I guess, and probably won’t see it until mid June. 

#889

I thought it was fucking great. 
 

Mrs. IDIOTsavant: I started crying like 5 times.

me: Really? I must be a sick fuck because I just had a hard-on the whole time. Sorry about knocking over the popcorn BTW.

I was the only one that laughed out loud when he said her name. I was disappointed in the other moviegoers.

Tried the old hammer drill method, but that paper bag had me outgunned.

Any relation to Private Judy Benjamin?

Loved it. I was amazed at how it is literally (no spoilers) the same movie updated for a new generation. And you know what? It still fucking works. And while it didn’t make my brain have to work to hard, I was coursing with adrenaline for the whole back half even knowing what would happen. Just enough surprises mixed in to have a few fist pump moments (in an admittedly total-suspension-of-disbelief plot).

All I came away thinking was “damn, that was a fun couple of hours!”

And yet Bruce Willis still blew through all that to the point he was doing straight to video movies before having to sell all of his houses.

We make a lot of money, but we spend a lot of money. 
I think Willis was one of the highest paid actors ever. He came up at a time and most of his career happened when stars got everything- which has since been market market corrected- and he did a TON of movies- like 2 or 3 every year like clock work even before the straight to video stuff.

Bruce's comedy central roast was pretty good, in effect "never before or after has such an awful actor starring in utterly forgettable movies made so much money." The roasters were jealous.
