Saw this in the theatre. I've watched both Top Guns but I have to say Maverick edges out the original. Can't believe Tom cruise can make this banger of a movie at 60. The dogfights were very entertaining and I liked how modern it felt (obviously considering this was made in 2022). The scenery, especially through the mountains, was amazing, the jokes were actually pretty nice, and the love story felt much more natural than the original. I also liked how they invited an actor from the original Top Gun (Val Kilmer) other than Cruise over to the sequel (but I wouldve liked to see more honestly), and his character (Iceman) was played and honored very well. Overall 9/10. One of the best movies I've seen in a while.
