Top Gun: Maverick Reviews Tom Cruise Sequel May Be Better Than Original
The first Top Gun: Maverick reviews are in, and they praise Tom Cruise's long-awaited sequel for its thrilling action and impactful story. Released in 1986, Tony Scott and Cruise delivered a thrilling action movie in Top Gun. Over thirty years later, Cruise is returning as Pete 'Maverick' Mitchell at long last. Top Gun: Maverick is directed by Joseph Kosinski and has been one of the most anticipated Hollywood blockbusters ever since the first trailer was released. Since that happened in 2019, the delays caused by COVID-19 have left fans of the high-flying franchise eager to finally see if the movie delivers.
Top Gun: Maverick's story sees Cruise return to Top Gun to help train a younger generation of pilots, which includes Miles Teller as 'Rooster', the son of Nick 'Goose' Bradshaw (Anthony Edwards) from the original movie. The tense relationship between Maverick and Rooster is central to Top Gun 2, but the chance to see Cruise play his iconic role again is only a piece of the puzzle for why audiences are so excited. Top Gun: Maverick's trailer repeatedly highlighted the practical flying sequences Cruise and the rest of the pilot actors participated in. Following all of the delays to the movie, it is finally around the corner — and it sounds like it is well worth the wait.
