I wanted to like ‘Top Gun Maverick’ so I went to see it on the big screen. Something I rarely do anymore. I thought it was just an average pic that I’ve seen the same type of plot played out in many many other movies.
Sadly, I was disappointed in it. I’m surprised to see this very average, even boring and very predictable flick the #1 on the list. I mean, for gosh sake’s even the flight scenes were just closeups of the helmeted faces mostly.
Agree with your post #12. TG: Maverick was okay, but the original was so much better. Original idea, original filming methods, better music and original story line. Maverick leaned on the original too much and the ending was hurried and predictable, almost a last minute slap together get ‘er done ending. TG: Maverick would have been better if there was no TG original.
