How to do movies right and Tom is a veteran. Apart from all the good points mentioned here I also noticed the female pilot is not propped to be a femme fatale or a guy beater or a love interest. They don’t make her be an obnoxious girl boss either. She’s just another pilot who happens to be a woman and holds her own with the rest of the guys. No pandering here folks. Just a good female character.

Say what you will, Jon Hamm plays this scene in immaculate fashion...half wishing to fail, half wishing to succeed. The non-verbal acting is spot on

[wolfzillaproductions]

Maverick really just embodied “Fine, I’ll do it myself.”

[apprentice]

Saw this movie 3 times in the theater. First time my jaw was dropped holding my breath during this scene.. 2nd I was smiling ear to ear, third was emotional as I tear up. All three times were a rush of adrenaline and emotion. This is easily the best movie Ive seen in years.

[Semeyaza]

This is how you respect a character who had been an icon for more than a generation. Not by deconstructing him to pieces or with the same "it's now older and bitter and useless", but giving him a proper epic send off!

Thank you, Tom, for respecting your character and us.

[iluvweezies]

this movie has even made the youtube comments section civil, polite, professional, encouraging and fun. what a great movie.

[SilverHyozanryu]

I adore hangman's expressions during this scene he still has that smug smile but it screams "alright old man, show us what you've really got", it's perfect.

[aeonversestudios]

I love the dynamic between the admirals in this movie. You can tell that Warlock is one of the last senior officers who still truly believes in Maverick and what he stands for

[twgan]

The most breathtaking and thrilling sequence of the entire movie, kept us at the edge of our seats from start to finish, and it is glorious on IMAX.

[hehaka]

Me: I'm going to watch Top Gun Maverick.

Girlfriend: But you've seen it in theaters 8 times already.

Me: Well, I'm going anyway.

Rest of Hollywood - take notes!

You DON'T deconstruct an old hero - you instead use his greatness to inspire and motivate a new generation of heroes. It's simple as that.

[EvilTheOne]

I saw the original Top Gun when I was in my first enlistment; and the sequel immediately after my retirement. As I was in the military for 39+ years, and there were times that the youthful exuberance of newer troops questions your experience, wisdom and fitness to still kick *ss.
There's nothing like showing how it's done.
One of my favorite cinematic moments ever!

[IshanPandit]

one of the best movie sequences ive ever seen. everyone at my theatre seemed to be holding their breath while watching this! amazing tension and development and the climax. our theatre cheered when he finished the run lol

[dignifieddan.]

This scene was amazing for all the reasons below, but also because it was the moment they all truly earned their respect for their leader. He showed them that he wouldn’t make them do anything that he couldn’t do himself;that he couldn’t teach them to do. Oh and he did it with style as well, never deviating from his own personality.

[brodielarson]

Part of why this was important was because now Rooster can see that no pilot this good would have let his father die due to a stupid mistake.

[Kragatar]

That's gotta be in the top 3 greatest movie scenes ever. The sense of speed and g-force, the sound, the tension, the fact that it's a real jet with no CG... it's just perfection.

[NycStreets]

Two points I have. This scene shows just how real leadership is done in the military. As a combat vet, I couldn’t ask my soldiers to do something I am not able to do. Also, If you notice the more experienced pilots (the admirals) instantly knows how important this is by their serious face. The younger pilots look more in awe how he was able to do it on his first run. The older guys know the survival of the pilots depend on if maverick is able to prove it can be done.

[chadclark]

A good leader says it can be done, but a great leader proves it can be done!

[francisjtuk]

This movie was quite honestly one of the greatest I've ever seen. Utter brilliance from beginning to end.

[Eyetrauma]

2:38 I love the focus on the mechanics of actually piloting here, moving the controls, performing the actions to make it all happen. A lot of movies would have kept a consistent shot of the aircraft itself but here you’re along with Mav, keeping you rooted in his world.
