Sometimes, just sometimes, a movie pops up that actually makes me really happy. This could well be one of them."

Keep saying, ‘it’s just a movie’. If Maverick was still a Captain, he would have been given his walking papers. Move up or out.

Looks like remade scenes from the first movie. Nothing regarding plot or character building. Yeah, it’s gonna look good, but what’s the story?

A Captain in the Navy is an O-6. In the other branches an O-6 is a full bird Colonel. I know in the trailer it is questioned why he isn't an Admiral by now. I've seen Captains with 30+ years of service but I'm pretty sure they were all prior enlisted.

Off screen TC life is a mess but he makes some great movies. I’ve quit going to the movies but will look forward to it on TV in about a year. Little else is on.

Val Kilmer is in it! I hope they don’t have him re enact the volley ball scene.
