What a fantastic review. Rich is right. It transports you to a time of early cinema. It is a love letter to cinema. Cruise has achieved something remarkable.
I’ve NEVER smiled so hard and had so much fun in a movie, what an unforgettable experience! The phrase “they don’t make movies like that anymore” doesn’t apply to this beauty, what a classic
I went to the UK premiere at 00:05am this morning and I haven't stopped smiling since! What an incredible film. I won't give away any spoilers but it's so much more than I had ever imagined! Just wow! 👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼
Among some of the BEST sequels ever made are: - Aliens - Terminator 2: Judgment Day - The Godfather: Part 2 - Star Wars: The Empire Strikes Back - The Dark Knight - Blade Runner 2049 - TOP GUN: MAVERICK!!!
Him and Brad Pitt.. never make a bad movie.... there are no ' i bought a zoo' or ' stop or my mom will shoot'.... even Tom Hanks does a lot of really unentertaining movies..
I'm so happy this movie is universally loved.. It truly is the best movie I've ever watched in theaters easily.. I believe this is going to be this decades defining movie.. Tom Cruise single handedly brought back the summer block buster, and destroyed the woke, cringe-fest that has plagued movies for the better part of 10 years now..
Stop. This movie had nothing to do with politics. Let it be the spectacular film it was. Please don’t join the right wing clowns trying to spin this into their agenda.
Did you go yet? How did your dad like it? I have seen it last sunday. What an amazing experience. I'm going again and also want to take my dad! :) It was a movie I watched with my dad as well in '87 when I was 8. I think this movie will bond lots of boys with dads.
Absolutely incredible movie. It makes you laugh, makes you tear up, makes you clench your b-hole. It's so well-shot, the music is great, the characters are great. It's just got everything.
I seen this movie at a special showing Tuesday at 7:00pm. In Imax....theater was packed & everyone clapped. This movie was excellent. Going to see it again...
1st movie I've been to in a looong time that when it ended everyone was clapping... Even my 11 yr old son. He leaned over towards the end and whispered " dad, this is one of the best movies I have ever seen". Now he and all our neighborhood kids have call signs lol. Incredible movie can't wait to watch it again.
Saw a uk preview screening last night. He’s right. It’s incredible. I had high expectations and it surpassed them all. Not just stunning flying scenes, but a decent script too. Already booked for next week when it officially opens.
Not many sequels can outperform the original movie, I certainly hope this is a rare exception. Top Gun Maverick might be Tom's best movie in his spectacular career. It's time to buzz the tower.
The original is 100× better and more realistic . This one seemed a bit more like mission impossible as far as the action where as the original was more believable. That aside it was awesome! Last scene was a bit off and they added a terrible ending song but overall a must see! Great job! Mostly
No agenda just pure entertainment from the master I know Tom gets alot of hate ,but he loves to make movies that entertain us , he doesn't cheat you he does most stunt work himself for our entertainment, Hollywood and us will only really appreciate him when he's retired .
I thought that it was a tall task to make a sequel that would be worthy of such an iconic film. Rarely does a sequel measure up to the original. This movie delivered. Not only was it as good but, in my mind, it was even better. Simply breathtaking. I ended up seeing it twice and enjoyed just as much the second time. May even see it again in the theater.
@@uncommon8896 Actually I didn’t think about that. Come to think of it, the cool thing is that all they have to do is insert ‘ highway to the danger zone’ by Kenny Loggins and we are all as happy as can be about that. Adds to the experience in my estimation.
What?? Even Rich has seen it?! Oh, man, many and mostly all critics are praising TG2 Maverick. Stoked! Bought my ticket for the 27th. Feel the need! Btw, GO BLUE!
We tried to get tickets at the new imax theater…already sold out from Thursday-Sunday! So we already reserved seats for next weekend matinee..also new recliner seats! $12.00..everyone enjoy
Loved this movie! Brought back that Hollywood magic that has been missing for many years. Tom Cruise is first class!!! Thank you TC for your spectacular movies. 🙏🏻💕
1986 I was fresh out of Navy bootcamp RTC Orlando when #1 came out. A bunch of us went and left the theater all pumped up thinking….yea, that’s us! We get to live this! All the other theater go’ers admiring us in our summer whites. 5 haze grey and underway years later it lost a lot of its shine. 😂. A cheesy movie but fond memories none the less. I’ll watch the new one eventually but not rushing out to see it.
It never fails how many people I met over the years who thought the Navy would be an adventure but it turned out more like a prison sentence --- makes me very grateful I never signed up
The original was cheesy back then but still we loved it. The years passed and the movie is still the same, but it's your brain matures. Tom has matured too. Hopefully the new one reaches mature audiences too. I'm 72 and really want to feel about this one the way I felt about #1
I watched this movie yesterday, I was so afraid that it would be all the hype so I tried to not expect anything from this movie. This movie happened to be the best movie I watch this year, no!!! perhaps it is one of the best movie I ever watch, plus because it is the emotional attachment added up even more.
I am so happy. I saw the original. Every time Hollywood tries to mine old IPs they gender flip or race switch characters and woke the script. Always cringe at it. So glad this is different. Must be Tom Cruise.
The cast is diverse but it’s not woke at all. Everyone contributes and everyone is valued. It’s a true TEAM. It was great to see. This is how you do representation.
If you loved the original Top Gun, this movie was absolutely everything you could ever hope for AND THEN SOME!! But even people who do not know or did not care for the original much, they will still be able to appreciate, if not love, this movie too! It's THAT GREAT.
Sometimes these movies show the world a glimpse of what is an American... We should tackle all the problems we have with the same passion, and not fear the challenges along the way.
I couldn't agree more I actually started listening to his show during the pandemic and was surprised by how intelligent and well spoken and diverse he is with his guests and his material
A lot of people I talk to say this is a boomer movie... Im barely 30 and I've waited 2 years for this. Sometimes you see a trailer and you just KNOW. This movie sounds like it will be everything we expected
@@PeterSedesse Well it was my parents honeymoon movie and technically they where still boomers, since the cutoff was 1964 (my mother birthyear) (my father is two years older) she was 22 at the time
Tom cruise and his production company and the director kill it!!!! Nothing less than 8/10. You really have to go see it in theaters because the sound effects alone is worth going there to see it.
just goes to prove when the Crew, Director, Actors & yes T.C. put their collective minds together; a wonderful, exciting and feel-good movie CAN BE MADE. Hope Hollywood takes notice going forward.
Went into the Air Force in July of ‘86. However, I was already in the process of joining well before the movie came out. Still, seeing it just before my report date got me jazzed up about my immediate future. But alas, there was no F-15, or F-16, or A-10, or even an F-111 in the cards for me. Nope, I got sentenced to sitting in the back of a B-52 kind of doing Goose’s job. The only good thing was that, unlike fighters, I could at least take a wizz standing up. (I could also do a number 2, though that was highly frowned upon!) Even so, for nostalgia’s sake, I’m really looking forward to seeing this more than I’ve wanted to see any movie in decades. And I’m especially looking forward to the RUclips videos of actual Top Gun and F-18 jocks, current and former, pointing out where the movie reflects the reality of Navy fighter aviation and where it really departs from it. Ward Carroll’s RUclips channel will be the first I’ll check out for the former F-14 back seater’s critique. (All ex military guys will understand this, as there’s nothing that gets under our skins more than when military actions and situations depicted in movies fly in the face of our real world experience. This is mostly because “attention to detail” is stressed to an extreme degree in just about every military job, from infantryman to fighter pilot. So, we expect the same attention to detail from the writers and directors of military-themed movies, even though we understand that the movies weren’t made for us, but for audiences.)
What a fantastic review. Rich is right. It transports you to a time of early cinema. It is a love letter to cinema. Cruise has achieved something remarkable.
Early cinema???? Boy you must be young.
Cheers mate and how good was that! More than just a film, that was an incredible experience and I'm going to see it again next week!
I’ve NEVER smiled so hard and had so much fun in a movie, what an unforgettable experience! The phrase “they don’t make movies like that anymore” doesn’t apply to this beauty, what a classic
Talk to me Goose
Me too, i was grinning ear to ear when the filmed started, took me back to a time when things were less complicated.
I was thinking the same thing, I loved it! The original Top Gun has always been a favorite for me and this may of topped it.
@@frankmousser8691 that intro song! 🇺🇸
A proper return to the summer blockbuster. Best "traditional" action flick I've seen since the late 90's
I went to the UK premiere at 00:05am this morning and I haven't stopped smiling since! What an incredible film. I won't give away any spoilers but it's so much more than I had ever imagined! Just wow! 👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼
Highway to the geriatric zone. I feel the need the need for a geritol.
The ending was a bit over the top
Among some of the BEST sequels ever made are:
- Aliens
- Terminator 2: Judgment Day
- The Godfather: Part 2
- Star Wars: The Empire Strikes Back
- The Dark Knight
- Blade Runner 2049
- TOP GUN: MAVERICK!!!
Motor boating your mom part 2 was pretty good
Empire strikes back?
Aliens is better then the first alien movie. That is how good it is.
@@mattklinghamer370 Empire Strikes is widely considered to be the best of the Star Wars movies.
No Sharknado 2: The Second One?, lol
Tom Cruise rarely misses. He's been one of the most consistent movie stars of the past decade. So entertaining.
Him and Brad Pitt.. never make a bad movie.... there are no ' i bought a zoo' or ' stop or my mom will shoot'.... even Tom Hanks does a lot of really unentertaining movies..
He is literally in the same Type of movie every time
@@PeterSedesse Tom plays the same guy in all of his movies they are all action movies
@@PeterSedesse Eyes Wide Shut says hold my beer. Also Far and Away
@@The_king567 but they are almost all super well done

The movie is great. There's no political lecturing and the flying scenes are cool. Forget about woke stuff. Enjoy movies
I am relieved that Danger Zone is in the film. Cannot wait to see it with my folks! My dad is a huge fan of the original Top Gun.
Literally 95% of Gen X is a fan of the original --- it defined our generation
I need this blast of nostalgia. Loved the original. Eisen and I must be around the same age
The fact the intro is literally a redo of the original is incredible lol
They use DZ throughout the score if you listen closely. They pitch it lower and slow it down.
Did you go yet? How did your dad like it?
I have seen it last sunday. What an amazing experience. I'm going again and also want to take my dad! :)
It was a movie I watched with my dad as well in '87 when I was 8.
I think this movie will bond lots of boys with dads.
Saw it at an early access IMAX event. This movie is a thrill ride. Funny, emotional, roller coaster. I can't wait to watch it again.
One of the greatest movies I have ever seen. Pure adrenaline. See it in an IMAX Dome.
Absolutely incredible movie. It makes you laugh, makes you tear up, makes you clench your b-hole. It's so well-shot, the music is great, the characters are great. It's just got everything.
I seen this movie at a special showing Tuesday at 7:00pm. In Imax....theater was packed & everyone clapped. This movie was excellent. Going to see it again...
He may be crazy, but I love Tom Cruise. He is a phenomenal actor.
Right…so lets forget about the crazy part. He’s the best blockbuster actor. Lets appreciate him for that.
You can’t love Tom with your “he may be crazy” comment.
@@albertoguerrero007 deemed "crazy". Now go away
It’s funny I don’t even think Tom cruises really that crazy
He's crazy but in a harmless, goofy way --- not dangerous crazy like allowing Commie Trump near the nuclear codes

He leaned over towards the end and whispered " dad, this is one of the best movies I have ever seen". Now he and all our neighborhood kids have call signs lol.

"Negative, Ghost Rider" is my go-to for a funny way to say no lol
I feel the need, for speed.
I just want it to be good. I was so afraid they'd screw up the legacy

I'm going to see this movie with my grown son. It just sounds like pure entertainment.
Please remind your son how awesome the 80's were --- this new generation of Zoomers needs to learn
Tom Cruise has an insanely good track record. Not even surprised this is getting so much praise. Got my Dolby tix already. Thanks for the review Rich.
I'm so happy to hear that Kenny Loggins is back with Danger Zone. That song belongs in any Top Gun movie. I can't believe it's been 36 years.
I love Danger Zone
I laughed, I cried, I was blown away by this movie. Couldn’t ask for a better sequel to an absolute classic.
Can't wait to see this in IMAX tomorrow!
What did you think??
I want to see it again it’s fantastic! Tom is aging well and every actor in this film rose to the occasion !

Not only was it as good but, in my mind, it was even better. Simply breathtaking. I ended up seeing it twice and enjoyed just as much the second time. May even see it again in the theater.
It was without a doubt better than the original... Maybe doesn't have as memorable a soundtrack but everything else was superior

Top gun 2 phenomenal!! Couldn’t love it more!! 🔥🔥🔥
Saw this last night. Loved it. Jennifer and Tom looked great. It does a great job in honoring the original.
It's like Tom hit the brakes, and we all flew right by him!
Good one
That is good.
But was Rich inverted?
What dosn’t your comment have 10,000 likes?!
GOD I WISH THAT WOULD HAVE HAPPENED IN MAVERICK
My god rich has done well for himself when it comes to his other half
Everyone else is excited about “Danger Zone” being in this I’d be more stoked if Cheap Trick’s “Mighty Wings” made an appearance!
I agree, love mighty wings
Mighty Wings is the better song.
Top Gun Maverick is the best 80s film of all time
Danger Zone.......the best opening song for movies such as these...
What?? Even Rich has seen it?! Oh, man, many and mostly all critics are praising TG2 Maverick. Stoked! Bought my ticket for the 27th. Feel the need! Btw, GO BLUE!

That’s because you weren’t an actual pilot flying fighter jets, and probably just some washed up mechanic who never left the ground…
Go see it ASAP you won’t regret it !
I was in GM "A" school in Great Lakes in 1986......loved the original and loved the sequel even more!
Saw it tonight, five stars.
I wholeheartedly agree! This movie was awesome
Holy cow we need more Rich movie reviews!!

Tom Cruise is without a doubt, the best movie star living , he makes blockbusters
I am so happy. I saw the original. Every time Hollywood tries to mine old IPs they gender flip or race switch characters and woke the script. Always cringe at it. So glad this is different. Must be Tom Cruise.
Yeah but there are black and Latino characters in this sequel --- so you'll have to troll your white nationalism somewhere else
Love that Cruise ignored all that crap.

NO DOUBT!
Just watched in the DBOX seats in Canada. LEGIT
I feel the need, the need for another Top Gun movie!
Movie was absolutely amazing in IMAX!!
The greatest movie ever. I loved it.
I had goosebumps 2 minutes in…
If you loved the original Top Gun, this movie was absolutely everything you could ever hope for AND THEN SOME!!
But even people who do not know or did not care for the original much, they will still be able to appreciate, if not love, this movie too! It's THAT GREAT.
Hearing this makes me so happy
Sometimes these movies show the world a glimpse of what is an American... We should tackle all the problems we have with the same passion, and not fear the challenges along the way.
Agree with everything you guys said. Just saw the movie and I’m buzzing
I love when rich eisen has some nonsports segments
I couldn't agree more
I actually started listening to his show during the pandemic and was surprised by how intelligent and well spoken and diverse he is with his guests and his material
Hey, they watched all the way to the end!
Watch more right here!
I was mesmerized by Jennifer too! Wow!!
His voice is so soothing.

Not really a Boomer movie, maybe GenX... GenX was mostly in HS or college when Top Gun came out. Boomers would have been 40+ at the time.

@@NightingaleSunset props to your dad for having it as Top Gun and not some Romcom. Yeah, I was born in 69, so I guess I am early GenX..
I'm barely 20 and i cant wait.
Every respected human who loves movies, has watched old classic movies and respects them. Cant wait to watch the sequel
I thought it was "a tad" drawn out.. BUT IT WAS OUTSTANDING NO DOUBT!!
I hope the opening is similar, one of the best ever.
I feel the need for speed. probably one of the best lines from any movie. But the RAF is still the best! Respect!
Negative Ghostrider, the pattern is full!! Awesome!
Can't wait to see this
Tom cruise,the legend 🙌 ❤
Can’t wait to see this!!👏🏻👏🏻
Just saw it. Whan an amazing film. The f18 scenes were so epic!

Penney was in the first film. Goose talks about Penney the admirals daughter Maverick tries to date.
it is spectacular and cruise really brought his A game. makes me really wanna see the new mission impossible. similar subplot lines.
Great movie! My dad was balling!
Totally agree. It was amazing! 👏
They say "Oh. My. God." the exact same way. Adorable 🤣
Best film of 2022, just brilliant
Best movie sequel ever! Tom’s second best movie of all time.
just goes to prove when the Crew, Director, Actors & yes T.C. put their collective minds together; a wonderful, exciting and feel-good movie CAN BE MADE. Hope Hollywood takes notice going forward.
First summer blockbuster in YEARS!
I thought it was perfect David Bowie was playing in Jennifer Connelly's first scene.
Rich is 100% right! You have to see this movie in the theater!
It's a sequel that's a stand alone excellent film for those of us who had not seen Top Gun
I had my doubts going into it. Nothing would have touched the original. Wow!!!
The movie is INCREDIBLE. Absolutely INCREDIBLE.
I can't wait to see this!!!!!
Dare we say better than the 1st....wowza. great film
GREAT REVIEW!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I watched them film the scenes at China Lake, used to work there
So can’t wait to see it!!!
Absolutely awesome

Going to be a breath of fresh air from the super hero spam these days
I think this will be the best movie since covid started. Im more excited since rich eisen loved it!
Worst Kept Secret of San Diego area. 4 or 5 years ago everybody in San Diego County knew they were filming this movie. They were casting locally.
Just remember Rich, theirs two “O’s” in Goose.
Just remember Dan, there’s no “I” in “there’s”.
I are stoopid 😆😳
That’s why Rich makes the big bucks.
