Default Top Gun Maverick Hits $1B Worldwide

Tom did it - what a legend. If you haven't seen this movie yet, what are you waiting for?

I like vintage Tom Cruise but many of his more recent films I haven't seen. How does it compare to the original?

One of the few sequels that was actually done well

I saw it a week or two ago with the family.

I'll be the oddball, and I'll assume 9 out of 10 will disagree with me, but I was pretty disappointed.

I thought it was a pretty clunky love letter to the original, lacking any of the chemistry between characters the original had. It was a lot of "Hey, remember that thing from the first movie?", "Remember that person from the first movie?", "Remember that scene from the first movie?"..............here's one that's very similar, but not quite.

"Remember Goose? Well here's his son...........Rooster?" LOL!

There's also this guy who is very similar to Iceman. His name is "Hangman", and he's trying to do his best impression of a young Val Kilmer (a tall order, I know), but there's not really enough room in the movie for Rooster, Maverick AND Hangman...so he gets put in the corner every once in awhile to let the big boys play instead.

Dialogue was pretty bad throughout.

Tom Cruise doing lots of Tom Cruise stuff and some well choreographed stunt scenes and a couple laughs made some of it enjoyable to me.

It wasn't awful.....I just found it.....Meh! I'm sure I'm in the minority. The rest of my family seemed to like it also.

I like it better. A lot better, and I love the OG Top Gun. A lot of it has to do with the technological advances since the first was made, and Tom's ambitious plan to put all the actors/actresses in the actual cockpits during the flight scenes, but the storyline is so damn good, too.

Personally, it's one of the best movies ever made IMO. My dad and I saw it on a Saturday a few weeks ago. I had to drag him to the theaters, cause he was gonna wait for the streaming/Blu Ray version (not a huge fan of theaters). I called him the next morning, exactly 24 hours since we saw it, and he was on his way to see it again. The number of people I know that have seen it multiple times is ridiculous.

everyone agrees to disagree I am not sure if it would have worked as well or been as appealing to the masses if it was more original. Than it would be more like a remake or many sequels that do not succeed because they are not able to create the spark of the original

I know a lot of folks who’ve seen it and all loved it. I’ll see it before it leaves the theater.

Wouldn't even watch it if it was on broadcast television.

Not interested in seeing anything that cruise does.

My feeling as well. And it's not a knock on Cruise. I like him just fine in some roles....Rain Man, the Mission Impossible movies and others. I just thought the original Top Gun was a waste of time. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

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.

Tom Cruise sure looked good at Wimbleton today! He signed a deal with scientology...and he doesn't age!!!!

I haven't seen it yet...I hope to soon. I've heard nothing but good things.

I loathe it to but my daughter and her friends are all over it from outfits to doing and saying some of the goofy stuff.

Thinking of getting her drug tested. Sarcasm of course

Agree 100%

It was a fun movie, everything followed same pattern and the acting was really clunky,.

Never underestimate the value of of drug testing your children.

It can reassure you, or help you address something before it is too late.

Top Gun Maverick continues to soar. I'm somewhat disappointed, because per previous Paramount timelines, this movie should have been available to stream yesterday. However, they are clearly milking this movie for everything its worth in theaters, and they should. It's a movie theater movie with how it was made.

I pre-ordered the 4k UHD version of the movie. Looking forward to seeing how it translates to the small screen, but nonetheless thrilled.

A huge part of what makes this movie so great to me is how it was made. I've watched so many behind the scenes videos and interviews, along with reaction videos from TopGun pilots. I don't know if this movie will ever be replicated in how it was made, and that alone makes it iconic.

GOODNESS GRACIOUS GREAT BALLS OF FIRE!

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...

Most movies I'd agree with this sentiment, but Top Gun Maverick warrants the financial reward. The training these actors and actresses endured to be able to create the realistic scenes deserves to be rewarded heavily. Tom Cruise proved he is the best at his craft.

right they worked very hard and the pay stinks... should of gotten 250 million...

people risk their lives in a lot of jobs that dont make 100k let alone 200 million.

free country can make what they want but funny how you can agree with sentiment and sometimes not agree....either all in or not.there is no in between imo.......


heck people dont want to work the MLB all star game because of their pay. (though paid by a third party vendor and not the Dodgers)...why is it the MLB all star game thats been in danger of being moved or labor strike etc....... since braves won the world series when last issue with this game..i guess it will be dodgers now.

they should move the all star game to Atlanta this year as the pay for labor for workers at the stadium is higher than what the workers want in the city of angels....

Good Point but on the down side you could lose the trust of your kids and the way they communicate and/or interact with you

Its the American way and the system is set up and most people seem to accept it.
Each person should have the right to earn what someone is willing to pay based on their skills, their maketability, etc.

Sadly I am one that will not have to worry about that problem

I should have specified - my sentiment agreement was in regards to movie stars, because the majority use stunt doubles.

Otherwise, make what you want. I don't care.
