Rating: 9 out of 10, You might have heard this is a good
movie. That is incorrect. It is a great movie that significantly improves on
the original. Cruise is in a word, a true movie star, and he delivers once
again. He brings the swagger but also the internal conflicts of the title
character, dealing with advancing age while trying to teach a younger
generation, including Goose’s son about combat flying. There is a vast
improvement in the military hardware aspects over the original as well, thanks
to CGI, of course. While the acting is very good it’s the action that makes
this movie special. There were so many times you’ll want to jump out of the
seat and cheer at the improbable, okay, impossible, hijinks displayed. A pure,
summer popcorn movie that delivers on every promise. Best movie I’ve seen this
year.
MVP: Cruise as
Maverick shows some surprising depth
