Top Gun Maverick Hits $1B Worldwide

[todeen]

My mother is not about Tom Cruise cuz she thinks he is personally a weird dude. But she said he made a pretty decent movie.

As for myself, I don't go to movies like this looking for a well written script. Let's be honest and say this is just another Jack Reacher, Mission Impossible, etc type movie. However, the flying scenes are what I paid to see and this movie delivered. The stunts and dog fights were spectacular. Do you remember seeing the semi-truck flip over in the Dark Knight movie with the Joker? Did you see it in theaters? And then did you see it on TV? It wasn't the same. If you are even contemplating waiting to catch this movie on a streaming service please do yourself a favor and watch it in the theater. The movie will not be as good on TV because the stunts won't have the same effect. The entertainment is worth the price of admission.

Loved it! Also super special to see Maverick with my parents as well.

Back in 1986...my dad was a pilot in the AF and saw Top Gun in theaters with his squadron buddies & my mom (while pregnant with me).


Here we are in 2022... Seeing the new Top Gun Maverick with my parents... 35 years later lol

I didn't care much for Top Gun in the day. Tom Cruise and the endless grin is all I remember really. Not to knock Tom Cruise, in the right roles he has been a very good actor.

It’s amazing the difference in opinions here.
I thought it was a fantastic movie.
Probably better than the original but maybe not if you didn’t see or like the original.

as I mentioned I like the movie but I never would have guessed it would be almost a 1.2 Billion Dollar Movie world wide.

But then again Minions is approaching 400 Mill so the world is restoring the balance

Boy do I loathe the Minions franchise. I'm a bit shocked that Top Gun is doing so well, the original was great. I'll have to get around to seeing the new one when it's available to stream.

funny when people make a big deal about how much an athlete makes who has to compete everyday and can lose his or her job but when movie star makes 200 million for a few months of work..heck even if its a year...nobody cares about that...
