Official Top Gun: Maverick Thread

[TheFireCar]

I hate that people are using this movie being so great to throw the MCU under the bus. Two completely different types of movies and we can appreciate one without diminishing the other. There's room for "traditional" blockbusters like Top Gun and the spectacle of superhero movies.

I think people enjoy practical stunts over the cgi overload of marvel

I do too, I just don’t know what one has to do with the other.

I'm glad it wasn't a diversity for diversity's sake movie. They had four Black men involved with the mission and a woman. No one felt shoehorned in like we've seen in other films and television recently. Looking at you Star Wars.

You can have "less than 4" significant "non shoehorned in" characters though.

They are not mutually exclusive and it is not about headcount in and of itself. OP was speaking about the significance of the roles.

How did this thread devolve into another MCU discussion?

Exactly. I especially enjoyed a an action movie that felt BIG that didnt end with a cgi monster fight, or in a weird dystopian cgi world. This goes beyond marvel.

Almost every movie at the top fits this. Maverick is already at $548 million and will cross a billion i predict, with how rewatchable it is.

One poster said something about preferring practical effects and then some other posters got mad.

Tom>Arnold in terms of action goatness, thought I never say this

Just rewatched the first Top Gun for the first time in 20 years. the OG is great, but Maverick is better

My 3rd viewing since release date, gets better and better every time. I'm ready for the 4K blu release with Dolby Atmos audio.

Better than any marvel movie except maybe infinity war.


I hope this puts an end to comic book movies

Yes. We can safely assume the success of this single film will stop a whole genre of movies from ever being made again.

Everytime I saw Payback I couldn't help but think about the Wayans family and how none of them are at the forefront of the industry. Dude really looks like a Wayans family member.

I had low expectations but its pretty good. Not classic like the first, damn near close and basically a remake.

Tom Cruise is cinema’s MVP. This movie is a reminder of why the theater experience is undefeated.
