Movie Review – Top Gun: Maverick

We have a self-imposed rule: each Peep gets to use an A++ grade once per year. There’s no question about it: I’m dropping my A++ bomb on this movie.

I saw this with a friend and we were both blown away by how outstanding every aspect of this movie is. The acting, the story, the drama, the pacing, the characters, the fighter scenes, the humor, the everything was perfect. I can’t think of a single thing they could have done better. This is the paragon of Hollywood blockbuster action movies. Please, more like this.

We rewatched the original Top Gun earlier this week and, let me say, it hasn’t aged as well as Tom Cruise. Definitely, some cringe-worthy moments that may have played will back in the mid 1980s but today… Not so much. But there wasn’t a hint of that in this movie.

Homages

The homages to the original Top Gun were really well done and not forced or done just for laughs. Every one of them had a purpose. There was even a subtle homage to Star Wars IV.

Star Wars: Small thermal exhaust port 2 meters wide.

Top Gun: Maverick: an exposed ventilation hatch less than 3 meters wide.

I’m going to see it again with my wife and friends just to sit and enjoy the experience. I can’t wait to see it again.

Best app ever!

RunPee is the only app we use before movies and afterward. not only does RunPee tell you when it’s a good time to leave the theater, kids these days ask if there’s anything during/after the credits, and RunPee lets parents know when there might be some thing that a kid might miss!

RunPee has tidbits, ratings, leave the theater times, and lengths. This is THE VITAL APP for watching any movie!

We used it when my wife was pregnant, and we have recommended it to every pregnant gal we know! How else can you enjoy a movie when you have to go out so often?!

Peeple’s Poll

If you’re familiar with the Peeple’s Poll in the RunPee app then you probably already know that this movie has an outstanding rating. It’s on target to be one of the top-5 rated movies of the past 3 years. And it’s isn’t just RunPee users who have rated this movie so highly. Over on RottenTomates this movie, as of Friday night, has a 99% rating from the audience and a 97% from critics. And at IMDb.com it has an 8.7 which would land it in the top 15-18 movies of all time.

Oscar?

I wouldn’t bet on him getting it but maybe Tom Cruise needs to be nominated for best actor for his role here. It’s been 22 years since he had a nomination for best actor for the movie Magnolia. I think his performance here is worthy. I don’t think the role was quite as demanding as it was for his character in Magnolia, but there were plenty of dramatic scenes that needed a range of emotions and he made each of them feel real.

Spoilers: click to open only after you’ve seen the movie.
One thing that a movie like this can rarely pull off is making us believe that the hero of the story may not survive. Going into the climatic mission I really felt anxious that Maverick might not make it. For one thing, he said earlier in the movie that not everyone was going to make it back from this mission.  There was also plenty said about the evolution of air combat and that fighter pilots just weren’t going to be needed in the future.

Also, his character had come full circle with his relationship with Penny Benjamin. It just felt like we might be set up for him to sacrifice himself in the end. We just experienced that with such iconic characters as Bond and Ironman. So I was really prepared for him to die in this movie, but hoping he wouldn’t.

Grade: A++

About The Peetimes: There’s no question: this is one of the most difficult movies I’ve done Peetimes for. There’s not a single Peetime that I’d like to recommend. But, that’s the mission, so we do our best. If you can stand to miss the “volleyball homage” from the first movie then the third Peetime is the one I would recommend above the others. The last Peetime is decent. The building tension is the only thing that really happens.

There are no extra scenes during, or after, the end credits of Top Gun: Maverick.

    Excellent movie!
    I got advance screening on Tuesday and liked it so much i am thinking of going back to see it again (and i almost never do that with movies). I am trying to decide on screenX, 4D or just regular IMAX. Was thinking the screenX would be cool on three screens 270 degrees, then i though 4d, with the jet acenes—- maybe that would be cool. Decisions decisioms.

  2. I say you split the difference and see it in ScreenX AND 4D. 🙂

    Well, i may have to do just that. I’ll post my opinion if I do.

  4. In the past you have given a heads up with the dialog just before the pee time. I can’t figure out where to find that. Is it there or have you dropped that feature?

  5. Hi Cari,

    The “Peetime Cue” is still there. I can’t share a screenshot here in the comments. Can you email me [email protected] and I’ll help you out?

  6. GREAT movie, give it . The best one yet
