Seeing Maverick on Saturday and watched the original last night since it’s been about 15 years. I love some 80s cheese, but that movie takes itself so serious and it misses the part about being fun. I truly did not like it.
I watched the original a few weeks ago for the first time, and I totally agree. Wayyyyy too cheesy for me.
Seeing this thursday at 4:15 at my local small theater for only $7 and the best popcorn in town. All around win.
It 100% hinges on how you feel about Maverick. The set pieces are jaw dropping, but the emotional core is pretty great, too. It has a fair amount of cheese, but it’s supposed to. It doesn’t forget to be fun, but you also can’t look away. Idk. It’s better than the original, probably, but it can’t exist without it.
If Vincent Lindon respects film he'll tear up the Cannes rulebook and give this the Palm holy fucking shit was this good, literally give Hollywood to Tom Cruise
This absolutely fucking ruled! Tom Cruise personally thanked us for coming to the theater before hand (on screen, I’m in lake wales, florida. Cruise has never been here haha). I’ll post more thoughts later, but you all better go see this in a theater. It’s a fucking ride.
Okay, so, I’ll still go into more later, but I just want to say first… the shot into the vent isn’t thatimpressive. It was 3 meters. Luke Skywalker hit a target of only 2 meters. Maverick is a wanna be.
To the post above For everyone else go see this in theaters. Just a blast of a movie. A true block buster.
