As a lifelong huge fan of the original I don’t know what the f*** everyone is smoking when giving this rave reviews. Its awful. Generic Hollywood blockbuster awful. Cheesy jokes awful. Total lack of character development awful. The aviation scenes were great, but the rest of the film is nothing more than a masturbatory display of Tom Cruise’s ego. Seriously, are you supposed to give two f***s about anyone else in this film? And his PG relationship with Jennifer Connelly was the type of shit you cringe at when watching a live action Disney movie. And don’t even let me get started on the absurd plot holes. The original film was rooted in realism, this film just says f*** it and has Maverick do whatever bullshit Maverick is gonna do. Newsflash, you can’t just fly a plane in the Navy whenever you damn well please. I don’t care how much money this film makes, its hot garbage to me Jester, just get over it. Maverick got you.

What other old Tom Cruise movies can he revisit? *looks at list* Ooh seems like a good time to try a sequel to Legend. I'd like to see a follow-up to The Firm to see what Mitch McDeer is up to.... but I can't think of a story that would be good.

Finally got to seeing this just before it dropped out of cinemas, and holt shit did it deliver. Genuine white knuckle action throughout, a throwback yet modern, exactly what I hoped it'd be

No arguments from me, that was more of an emotional roller coaster than I was expecting. Fun stuff, I loved how the various call backs were used.

Is the homo eroticism as strong in this one?

Is the homo eroticism as strong in this one? Nah, this one’s more mild mannered, not as steamy either way as the first. The romance here is more “cute”
