Anecdotal. Was talking to my friends about the original Top Gun. We all agreed that it's probably one of our least favorite Tom Cruise movies but that the new one looks great and that it's probably the most excited we're been about a Tom Cruise movie in along time.

This movie is going to be huge.  It's one of the easiest calls of the year.

I agree for the most part. I've always found it odd people being iffy on this. It's such a slam dunk.

 

The only thing that has me worried is the multiple starts and stops in terms of the marketing. Just worries me that it may have a The King's Man "Didn't this already come out?" syndrome. 

 

The difference I suppose is that this will actually probably be good and is something I think people are interested in

Heard good word about this one

I just find it strange how people are ignoring the directors previous work. I dont think this will get good reviews

Only the Brave was great and this has that movie’s writer. The movie will probably be cheesy, but apparently the first Top Gun is cheesy too

Not everybody operates on "auteur theory" and that's a good thing.  It's not always the director's fault when things get mangled.

I listened to a podcast a while back. Long story short, he was friends with Harry and William's mom and she brought them to visit Tom on the set of MI1 when they were kids. He's known them for a long time now.

Don't forget that McQuarrie fixed the script and came in to help direct and stage multiple scenes.  

[FilmFincher]

Only the Brave also showed an incredible improvement in Joseph Kosinski's dramatic directing, which is where he was lacking. That film genuinely got me. Tron Legacy and Oblivion were both overly adept in the visual and sound departments.

 

As long as the script is solid enough for Maverick we're in good hands.

Trailer looks fantastic! excited for this and watching tom on big screen after 3.5 years 😎

Got me there

Lmao the people who really want to get us hyped, like some kind of event film, about a sequel to a mediocre '80s movie (and I'm being easy here, because the original is actually TERRIBLE).

Good luck.

I don't think reviews will matter much for this film.

It's not terrible, but it's not a classic either.
