Top Gun - Maverick

[StephenFord]

Got to watch it this morning. I'm of an age where I remember seeing the original Top Gun in 1986 queuing up at a cinema! For those that have seen the original, this is an unusual sequel in that it is equally if not better than the first one. In addition, made all the better by employing proper flying sequences rather than awful CGI cr*p.

If you are going to see it, best to watch the original first as there are many references to it in the new one which you'll miss out on.

If everyone else is anything like me, they'll have watched it hundreds of times! l've still got a copy on my recorder for an occasional fix! 

Looking forward to seeing the new one!

Hype on this one is thoroughly deserved...

No not watched Maverick yet, started watching Liverpool-Milan. Decided to put a film on, went with Dune 2021, yes a fantastic spectacle but, 2.5hrs and it just ends with Jessica and Paul being accepted by the Fremen, so only 1/3 of the way thru the originals timeline, i hate it when that happens.

Not really my bag, not even sure I've watched the original all the way through, though I have seen bits of it.  Have seen another decent film with Tom Cruise flying planes, something to do with drugs in South America?  Can't remember the name of it though!

Did watch the 'new' (2019) Charlies Angels last night, thought that was pretty good tbh...

That'll be 'American Made' yes, another good movie, it's dreadfully unfair for one man to have so much talent! Tom, I use to watch the original Charlies Angels on TV, and had a great poster of Farah Fawcett on my childhood bedroom wall! (In an amazing one piece red swimsuit, yes, that had quite an effect on me LOL)

EDIT

Just 'googled' it, aahhh, yes, fond memories LOL
