Absolutely incredible. Was sweating heavily throughout the movie especially the last half. My 2nd best movie experience after Interstellar. 9.5/10, Tom Cruise is the man, did not expect all the emotions also. Awesome.
they had a 5 minute preview before Multiverse of Madness it whelmed me
safe to say I have no interest in seeing this film
It’s so ironic. I didn’t think the first Dr. Strange movie would be that good so I waited until it was available via DVD/streaming. But I enjoyed it way more than I thought, so because of that I paid to watch the sequel in the theater. Shoulda been the other way around.Also regret seeing Doctor Strange at the cinema. Pretty mediocre marvel film.
Box office wise, this movie is having a great run. It's opening weekend was above expectations, but, the real story is the word of mouth.
Usually, coming of an opening weekend, and especially off a long weekend, a good second weekend drop these days for a blockbuster is 50-55%. If it's under 50%, that's a great sign.
Right now, it's looking like Top Gun Maverick is going to land around 30%. It should overtake Doctor Strange and The Batman to become the biggest movie of the year thus far, and, it'll depend on how Jurassic World and Thor perform if it holds that. But, it's word of mouth is so strong that it could conceivably end the summer still holding that title.
"Slider, you stink."Just an incredibly predictable, ultra cliche vanity project/recruitment poster by our aging manchild. Cool planes, though, and Kilmer is the best and most human thing in the movie.
What a great movie. IT's so refreshing to watch a film in which you know most of what you are experiencing is real and not a Marvel CGI-fest.
By next Monday it will surpass Dr. CGI Strange as North America's top-grossing movie of the year. Well-earned.

Comic book/sci-fi/fantasy movies are my jam but even I have to admit fatigue when it comes to green screen/overly CGI'd movies. Glad that TG:Maverick is a welcome respite from all the onscreen fakery. And bonus is that it's a well made film.It's not like he is sitting comfortably in front of a green screen in an air-conditioned cockpit set... the man is out there in the sky enduring 8g g-forces and doing crazy stunts. He has my respect that he's not out there just trying to make an easy buck by joining Marvel but instead doing hard movies like Maverick and Mission Impossible.
OT but am I the only one that doesn't put Aliens anywhere near Alien?Might be safe to say this will enter the Godfather II, Aliens, T2, Empire, TDK, etc. category of sequels arguably better than the original, or at least just as good.
I have a soft spot for both, Top Gun 86 hits all of the 80s buttons right and is always an easy watch.
Maverick being made so much later, nicely touched on nostalgia, introduced a not annoying "Next Generation", and took modern stunt action to the max.
