Top Gun: Maverick

If I could erase one movie from my memory and watch it again for the first time, it would definitely be Top Gun: Maverick.

I thought it was just going to be another sequel trying way too hard to recreate the original, and it ended up being one of the best movies I’ve seen in years. The flying scenes are insane, the soundtrack is perfect, and Lady Gaga did not have to go that hard on “Hold My Hand,” but I’m glad she did because now I recover from the movie by listening to it on full volume in my car whenever it comes on my playlist.

Also I’m pretty sure everyone walked out of that movie theater convinced they could fly a fighter jet.

    Loved this movie more than I thought I would. What they end up doing with the third installment will be interesting.

    “…Maverick” was one of those movies that was probably better than it had any right. i love the fact that they leaned into the fact that Maverick is old and “what are you still doing here” was the thread than ran through the entire story.

    Paramount was wise to hold off on releasing it until the covid lockdowns started to wind down, We needed a movie like that to be seen in theaters!

      I saw it at the IMAX which made it even better. It was such a good movie. I took my son too and the little dude cried and he even said it was one of the best movies he had seen. He said he liked it better than the first one which I’m not totally sure on but dang it hit.
