Home Forums Hunting & Shooting Hunter's Campfire Top Gun Maverick

Can’t find the post from yesterday must be 10 pages back now. Anyhow went and saw it today with the wife and daughter. Movie is a must watch, I'm sure for the legit Naval aviators out there they could pick it apart. But after watching this movie, who in the hell wouldn't want to be a Naval aviator! So, load the family up in the station wagon and take them to see this movie. No Transgender chit in it, no gay homo stuff in it. Just a good ol fashion movie with lots of flying in the F18. Not going to lie makes you feel pretty damn good about being an American. This movie was made when trump was still president.

Going tomorrow afternoon.

Can't wait to see it.

Nah.

Party pooper.

😆😆😆😆

I am sitting on top of a manure pile right now...watching the boys throw mud at each other.

I just tested a new .45 Colt load on a downer ewe.....and can watch the Memorial Day jetliners fly over for 400 miles.

What would I need to go to town for?

Haha!

I just took the whole family to it. We all really enjoyed it. I thought it was well done. It didn't try to push some huge ridiculous woke idea on you. Although it did make sure there was a female, some blacks, and a Hispanic top gun and I'm ok with that. All kids should get to dream about flying a fighter. They will probably be in trouble for leaving out the gay and tyranny movement but everything doesn't always have to be about them. All I can say about that is gutsy move maverick.

All the PC BSing aside it was a well done entertaining movie my whole family enjoyed. It was pretty tastefully done for hollyweird too. My 6 year old really loved the show and I loved that I was able to enjoy it with him without worrying about exposing him to a bunch of garbage. There was just a few swear words but not over the top. Go see it on the big screen. It even made Tom seem like a likable human being.

Get to the important stuff...

How did Jennifer Connelly look?

Take a shower, change your underwear and load the kids up in the 'burb and take them to see this movie! You owe it to them!

We don't have any nice clothes!


Would the kids like it? Any sex or cussin?

Jeeze....okay for family?

The wife and I had date night and went and saw it. First movie in probably 3 years. Wasn’t too bad. Nice to see people having a nice night out without GD masks. Almost felt like back to normal .

No believe it or not no sex scenes and no real cussing I remember. just damn good entertaining movie! Like I said what kid wouldn't want to be a naval aviator after watching this movie.

79S I agree with you it was very well put together and is heads above the first one with way more flying. To you men that really flew them you have my admiration and thanks for your service.

I thought it was a good movie. The storyline was pretty good, but technical military stuff and protocol were a bit off. The "mission" was hokey, but all-in-all, it was entertaining.

Must be based on the “old navy”.

Yes, I thought it was OK for family. My wife is usually really uptight about what the kids see. I've seen her walk out of kids shows. She stayed clear through this one. I thought it gave the kids a positive view of our people in uniform. It will be good for them to remember what it used to be like after the left destroys our military and turns it against us.

There was nothing too raunchy, but there was 1 F word in the heat of battle and a few S words during intense moments.

It's way too easy to pick apart the reality disconnects in a movie, but despite the fact that this show has disconnects on multiple levels it's a pretty entertaining couple of hours. The technical and military stuff in this one takes a distant back seat to the personal relationships of the original top gun cast fast-forwarded 30 or so years.

There's enough of fast planes, motorcycles, and blowing stuff up or shooting down the enemy to help the plot along. I spent $12 to watch it, and I'll likely own it when it becomes available for streaming. High time I bought the original, too.

Val Kilmer, playing the part of Pacific Fleet Commander, died of throat cancer in the movie. Wife told me afterwards that he has, or had throat cancer for real.

For perspective, when the original Top Gun movie was released, The Soviet Union was still our most likely and worthiest enemy. Lotta water under that bridge and this show plays on that concept well.

My wife and I are really looking forward to seeing it. I might try to steal her away for an impromptu date night at Ipix next week. The first one came out when I was in high school and I watched it a million times. This sounds like one of the few sequels that are better than the original.

Good movie. The previews before the thing started were a great reminder of why I find myself needing to go to a theater only once every three years or so. As others have pointed out, it was nice that this movie was supposed to come out in 2020, so likely filmed in 2019, before all the America haters really found their stride.

Oh, and be advised, they save the best plane until the end.
