June 24, 20223 yr Well holy shit, that was somehow better on the 2nd viewing. What a great fucking movie. The first one doesn't even need to exist. Don't get me wrong, I still love the original, but they made this so it didn't depend on the first one. Sure, there are callbacks, and Penny's character has no gravity without the original, but you could come into the second without any knowledge of the first and love it. Just well fucking done. ALL THAT SAID. I watched it the second time at Alamo. For the "shut up and put your cell phone away" message, they had Val Kilmer. Present day. With his voice. It didn't look or sound like an AI created voice. How did this occur? Anyone? Edited June 24, 20223 yr by Biff Tannen

I bet they reused one from that.

June 25, 20223 yr Just saw it with the wife. Great fucking movie. There was a girl there with either her dad or an older date that said the movie was amazing, but she'll never see the original because it is too old.

June 25, 20223 yr Saw it last night. The last third of the movie was about as good as I have seen. Which was good because half way thru I was sitting there just wishing the movie would get to the end. Not the kind of movie I would want to go see again in the theater. There was nothing deep that I could have missed the first time. I did like it and think everybody should go see it. Casting was typical ridiculous Hollywood. Though I am sure some were pissed that there were no tranny pilots.
June 27, 20223 yr Ridiculously picky nit to pick that I very briefly picked anyway because I'm a nerd: I wish Maverick would've had a restored F4U Corsair or a Hellcat. Even a Wildcat. Something that regularly jumped off carriers.

June 27, 20223 yr I see where you're going there but I don't think there any 2 seater Corsairs or Hellcats around.Oh yeah. Forgot he took Penny up. In my defense I had the brief thought when it was first shown. Nerd rant over.

If I'm a rich guy, that's what I buy too.

June 27, 20223 yr saw it again, this time in imax. it is so choice. if you have the means, i highly recommend seeing it that way. only thing this movie is missing is a tim robbins photobombing at the end. and maybe mav driving that DBR1.
June 28, 20223 yr Great flick, had a babysitter watch the three month old and 2 year old just to break away and watch in theater. Def watch it on the big screen. Great real special effects no gimmicks no computer bullshit animations.
July 1, 20223 yr Just saw it at Alamo. Just a better filmed version of the original, plus a "hey, let's rip off the climax of Star Wars IV" thrown in to boot. I would've walked outin the 2nd act but the Peacemakers were cold.

July 2, 20223 yr They should’ve had Tom Skerritt walk in there and get mad and say “Sam I thought I told you never to pla-“ and then see Maverick and then fuck once last time before he puts Mav on that plane because Miramar’s just a hill of beans and forget it Jake it’s Chinatown.
July 3, 20223 yr I'll reiterate that I loved this movie. But we need to acknowledge that the early part of the third act was the Star Wars Death Star battle, trench, small target, and all. Edited July 3, 20223 yr by dcbc
July 3, 20223 yr Sure and then Hangman should’ve just said “You’re all clear kid! Now let’s blow this thing and go home!” after he saved Mav and Gosling.

But then let's acknowledge that Star Wars ripped it off of a fantastic British movie called The Dam Busters, even plagiarizing huge parts of dialogue. If you don't care about that, then you probably shouldn't care about this.
July 3, 20223 yr I said it in my first post of this thread. It felt like TG, Iron Eagle 1&2 and Star Wars to me.
July 4, 20223 yr Caught it back in Imax. As we were leaving after the credits we heard snoring. This guy, after everyone had left.
July 8, 20223 yr Finally got to the theater last night to see it. My review: Jennifer Connelly....Jesus Christ.
July 8, 20223 yr Saw it yesterday and I liked it but didn’t love it. It was Top Gun 1 with todays budget and special effects. It was sad to see Val Kilmer like that but they did a wonderful job in that scene with him and TC. Very moving. And Jennifer Connelly is a knock out. It’s a great summer movie and that’s all it needed to be. A get out of the heat in a dark theater with popcorn - and escape for a couple of hours. I would go back just to sit in those moving seats that goes with the action on screen.
July 8, 20223 yr Sure it’s been said. One of the top movies made. Crushed it and worth the wait. I saw it opening day but been dealing with some shit
