Best line was " what the hell were you thinking?" "You told me not to think." Good movie great job and man Rooster really could have been Goose's kid. Very close resemblance.

[TMBTM]

Miles Teller was already known as a good actor but now I can totally see him becoming a real movie star. He has the acting AND an old school charisma. A mix between Dean Martin and Stallone, lol.

[atamagashock]

Just got back from watching it, as a 42 year old that grew up with top gun as one of my favorite movies, they did such an amazing job. The soundtrack was perfect, the storyline, flying, everything was worth the wait. I ain’t gonna lie, I shed tears multiple times and even within the first few mins

[okedoke]

Monica Barbaro just nailed it as Phoenix. No nonsense. No bullshit. Just a great pilot and leader. She absolutely looked, talked, and flew the part of a fighter pilot.

[TlanImass]

Hoping Monica Barbaro gets many more roles from this. She is fabulous!

[Agreeablecookie]

My dad who’s a retired jet fighter pilot got teary eyed watching this film. It’s that good!

[camerongooch]

I'm saying it now
This is film of the year
One of the best films of the last 5 years
One of the best sequels ever
And in my opinion and as someone who loves the original. I think it might even be better then the 1st.

[BullFrog]

The best movie I've seen in the last 10 years. I'm 40 years old and I acted like a child in a movie theater. Great job!

[yotoland]

Cast was amazing too and very well cast. I was so happy they made sure that Val Kilmer has a cameo role especially since he can no longer speak after his throat surgery and cancer battle. The movie would not have been the same if “Ice man” wasn’t a part of it.

[mao]

I am very happy that Tom, and Paramount decided to hold on and release this in theatres. I've watched the movie (and bought another ticket to see it again), the movie experience was cathartic. Brought me back from when I watched the original, quite nostalgic.

5:00 “And if you throw me in the ocean I will Bob”
Fkn hilarious! 😂👌🏻

[ethanbenfield]

I need more Monica Barbaro, I really hope this movie launches her career. What a beautiful charismatic badass.

[mixflip]

I was one of those kids that joined the Navy after seeing the 1986 Top Gun. I even have a cheesy portrait of me in a leather jacket and my hand on my chin. They used to sell them downtown San Diego. My mom still has it on her wall.

[Leah]

I've seen a lot of films in the theater, but I've never seen a packed house erupt in cheers and applause at the end of a movie, like this one. People didn't even rush out to their cars when it was over. It's like everyone stayed behind to let it sink in, what they just saw on the big screen and talk about it with whomever they were with. A very unique experience for sure. It brought laughs, tears, and cheers.

[anngo]

Cyclone and Warlock are the most badass callsigns you can get.

[luisavina]

This movie was

The scene where Tom Cruise flies and succeeds the 2:15 mission simulator was an unbelievable scene, the crowd I watched it with went completely nuts 🤪

And of course, Jennifer Connelly: AGELESS beauty! 😍

[kewalpatil]

Miles teller is a very good actor. His performance in backlash was award winning. All the best to him for the future!! He is an actor to watch out for!!

[el_writes]

I've always loved Top Gun but I think the sequel may be my new favourite movie of all time! The nostalgia, the emotion, the casting, the 80s aesthetic, everything was PERFECT and Miles Teller knocked it out of the park as usual

[zoim.a.]

I literally loved the respect they showed to the 1st movie in order to make this 2nd one ☝️ Even the fact that they kept many details like the main soundtrack theme and the font of letters in the beginning and ending of the movie.. this 80s vibe.. I am absolutely thrilled with this great connection they managed!
Thank you for the great results in this astonishing movie! ❣️

[johnm]

This movie proved that making a blockbuster is still possible.
