The fact that he addressed the audience before the movie began was amazing. It speaks to his character and we need more of that. Loved the movie!

Hands down the best movie of Tom Cruise career and I highly recommend it.

Correct. It is not a remake. It is a continuation of the story.

We waited for more than a year since the first trailer, they did a good job of keeping it not leaked

Looks like all those free movie tickets given to Applebee’s customers to see this film really paid off. #FancyLike

It's a good old fashioned American movie is why it's breaking records, people are tired of what out now. No woke stuff.
That's why Top Gun hit highest box office in 110 years history for paramount. Congratulations Tom.

the movie that i saw last week was the bobs burgers movie as a fan of the show its awsome

[herosupport]

the key factor is the movie was not woke agenda pushing garbage like the rest of the movie flops.

[ryanolep]

Red dawn was a flop because Josh Nichols was horrible in it.

[rafaelx]

the movie is worth going, great experience for movie goers, fantastics cast, amazing movie its awesome

[rollingchairs]

I agree. I don’t even see marvel movies in threatres anymore. I just subscribe to Disney plus for a weekend, watch the new movies/shows, and then unsubscribe until they release more content. Top gun is movie that totally justifies seeing in theatres

I thought he rides on the side of the plane, on the outside…

[disastermaster]

Red dawn already had a remake. Where has he been?

[natashabegley]

Must be an American thing I didn't like this or the original!
