I really didn't think it warranted its own separate thread, so since we're talking about modern, three-decades-after-the-fact sequels to 80's movies here already, there was a
new, second trailer to Top Gun: Maverick released today. If a mod thinks this movie needs a dedicated thread, knock yourselves out!
Confession...I saw the original one only once in the theater, upon initial release in 1986, and didn't like it at all. I just thought nearly every character in it was an unlikable, off-putting prick. Hard to root/pull for people you can't imagine having a cookout or a beer with. For me, anyway. So I saw it that one time, 33+ years ago, and that was it.
All that aside, I loved all the flying footage/sequences. And this movie looks even better on that front. I'm sure it'll be a fun thing to watch on the big screen! Not sure if I'll see it, but you never know. $10 in my pocket on a rainy Saturday with nothing else to do has lured me to the multiplex quite a few times over the years.
Oh, and Tom Cruise
never ages. Dude is a vampire!
