    After Top Gun Maverick, i don’t wanna see no more CGI. If Chris Hemsworth ain’t really flying through space chucking axes and hammers at people keep it. The bar is raised.

    TOP GUN MAVERICK is the least cynical Hollywood film in maybe a decade. No winking, no deconstruction, no arch attempts to outsmart the audience. Just a big satisfying heartwarming well made piece of mainstream entertainment. I freaking loved it.

    When you see Top Gun Maverick you’ll understand why they pushed it back two years. There’s no way you should experience this movie out of a theatre.

    The most unrealistic part of TOP GUN: MAVERICK is that all those millennials knew every word to “Great Balls of Fire”

    My least favorite part of Top Gun: Maverick was when my girlfriend loudly said “are you crying?” and a bunch of people started looking at me

    #TopGunMaverick is a masterpiece. Tom Cruise knows how to deliver pure entertainment in a way that NO OTHER action star in our era has ever been able to do. Everything about this movie is better than the first one, ESPECIALLY the climax. OH. MY. GOD. Tony Scott would be proud.
