I know Hollywood bad. I for the most part have stopped watching movies, cable tv and subscription services. That said, the nostalgia I have with the original brought me in into a movie theater to see Maverick with my wife and 12 year old daughter.
It was the best movie I've seen in years! So fun and amazing cinematography! It was nice to see such high quality filming since most movies are 99.9% superhero cgi.
The biggest takeaway for me was that for a couple hours I forgot about how everything is going to hell. I was able to watch my kiddo have a blast watching a movie that's history holds near and dear to my own childhood.
This one is certainly worth seeing on the big screen!
Movie hit all the right notes from the old one while managing to be fresh. Crowd-pleaser for young, old, men, women. Soundtrack was great, the cinematography! I found Jennifer Connelly (age appropriate pretty hot love interest!) to actually have better chemistry with Cruise's character than 'Charlie' in the original. (That was the only thing I didn't like about the original.)
Cruise was 100 percent right to insist this had to open in theaters (after a two YEAR Covid delay!) instead of streaming it like the studio wanted.

Amazing! Feels like a gift, honestly.
I might have to see it again at an IMAX.
