It seems like I have been watching the trailers for this film for years now - and you know what? Yes - it was worth the wait. Monica Barbaro stands out most from the fresh faces, though I actually did enjoy watching them all - which is something I thought the film may struggle with, adding new people, but it's done nicely sure Jon Hamm and Glen Powell are a little cliché, though overall I approve.Ī great watch - I'd highly recommend it, though naturally would suggest watching the previous film first if you haven't already. Jennifer Connelly is another positive, though her role does kinda feel a tiny bit forced in order to have a love interest given Kelly McGillis' absence. Tom Cruise is brilliant as he reprises the role of Maverick, while Miles Teller comes in and gives a top performance. It's all super neatly put together, I honestly came close to giving it a higher rating. The story is superb, with each high stake coming across as intended - parts even gave me slight goosebumps, which is a surprise given I'm not someone who has a connection to the 1986 film. The callbacks to the original are expertly done, the new characters are strong/well cast, it has plenty of meaning, music is fab and the action is outstanding - the aerial stuff is sensational.

I was expecting it to be good, but it's actually much more enjoyable than I had anticipated. 'Top Gun: Maverick' is fantastic, simply put.

What an excellent sequel - I, in fact, like it more than its predecessor.
