What I loved about Top Gun: Maverick

This guy is just incredible. He's almost 60 and is running around, showing off his abs, and flying in planes. Say what you want about him personally, but he's given the world a lot of fun movies. He's a true professional.

Have always loved her. She's so elegant. Also, I love that she's 50 and is the love interest in a huge movie. That never would have happend 20+ years ago.

So happy he made it into the film. He can't talk anymore in real life and they fit that into the story without being absurd.

They gave respect to the first film in many ways without making it a distraction.

This is why I love Tom Cruise. The actors actually got into these fast planes and threw up in real life. The force put on their bodies is not what a normal person can handle. Much respect.

Some randomn rouge nation. Can't remember if the first was the same? At least we don't have to make some country feel bad.

At first, Tom Cruise wasn't going to have the Taiwanese flag on his jacket to bend the knee to China. I'm happy they reversed their decision. It will likely hurt the movie's revenue, but I believe it's the right thing to do.

After giving us a bunch of horrible movies of the last 3-5 years, I'm hopefully that we'll see a rebound in the movie industry. If you are going to make a sequel, it needs to be done right.

Tom Cruise was like 23 when the first Top Gun came out. Nowadays, I can't think of a legit movie star under 40. The type of person that everyone loves, admires, or wants to be with. Every actor or actress I admire is older. Maybe, it's just because I'm getting older.

If there was, I didn't notice it. Great movie. Fun time.
