May 12, 2022 · The dogfights, chases, and mid-air sequences are truly remarkable — far clearer and far more intense than anything in the original Top Gun. – Matt Singer, ScreenCrush. A superior sequel. – David Rooney, Hollywood Reporter. If Top Gun was a fun film because it invented Tom Cruise, Maverick is a great film
May 27, 2022 · May 27, 2022. A movie review by James Berardinelli. Top Gun: Maverick is one of those rare breeds: a sequel that’s better than the original.

Top Gun: Maverick soars higher than it has any right to, constructing a mostly terrific sequel 36 years later (including a Covid release delay), using a good movie, not a great one, as its jumping-off point. That might not be enough to take your breath away, but as brawny summer entertainment goes, it comes shockingly close.
