Typical over-the-top praises for a movie everyone just screened for free months ahead of everyone else. I put absolute 0 stock in anything these tweets ever say.

Yeah, I'm waiting for the "testosterone laden ode to toxic Masculinity" counter punch because I don't see how you make a Top Gun film in the style of the first one and no one makes that comment today.
Conversely, you couldn't make a movie with all the modern sensibilities and not have some one call it a SJW woke fest either.
Though of anyone can walk that tightrope suspended over the flaming pits of hell, it's the Cruise missile

Legend, Edge of Tomorrow, A few good Men, Top Gun. He's been in more good movies than 99 percent of actors.
Rain Man, Eyes Wide Shut, Magnolia, Days of Thunder, Interview with a Vampire...

John Campea said it's better, in his opinion, than the original. He came out the screening BEAMING about it! I'll go see it!

Is the jacket still edited?

The OG Top Gun was gay as fuck, proper homoerotic. The sequel will be fine doubling down on that and still not break canon.

What do you think I was referring to when I said "toxic Masculinity"????
If it's gonna be gay, at least let it be lumberjack swole 2% body fat glistening muscles in the sun gay
The way the volleyball scene is immediately followed by a sex scene is just *chefs kiss*
They knew what they were doing

Ironically Top Gun Maverick is made by the guy who directed that GIF.

Truly the gayest scene in all of film history.
Tom Cruise annoys the hell out of me but has been in a lot of good movies.
Good movies not yet mentioned are Cocktail and Vanilla Sky. The Firm isnt a great movie but also not a bad one either. Also consider the rest of the MI movies even if not as good as part 1.
Strange I just rewatched this movie last year I dont remember this scene. Maybe I fell asleep lol.
EDIT - The description says From Sleep with me (1994) directed by Rory Kelly

Tom Cruise is weird as fuck but he's one of the greatest actors of all time with an amazing work ethic. Watching.

The Color of money, The Last Samurai, Valkyrie, American Made, the entire fricking Mission Impossible series after the second one, etc.
Look at my avatar. Day one on Imax probably.

Funny you mention Cocktail as a good Tom Cruise film. Personally, I love Cocktail and think it's a decent 80s cheese flick, but the film was ripped apart by critics when it was originally released. Its RT score is an unbelievable 7%!

Oh me too, I’m hyped for the movie, definitely watching in IMAX as well.

Can’t remember the last movie I have seen in theaters but I’m definitely seeing this one. The non-cgi flying shots are worth the price alone. And Tom Cruise is weird as fuck but he knows how to make movies.

I’ve not seen Days of Thunder. Some of those movies were good despite Cruise’s terrible acting. Rain Man shined because of Hoffman.. Magnolia also because of Hoffman.
Eyes Wide Shut wasn’t good. Thankfully, Kubrick died before they spliced together that incomprehensible piece of shit.
It’s good that these archetypical boomer movie stars are no longer bankable. Cinema has improved vastly because of it.

He was pretty good in The Last Samurai, Interview With The Vampire and Far and Away.

Why do these early twitter movie impressions always read like ad copy written by the studio?

because the studio gives them recommended talking points.

Early impressions for Morbius weren't that positive... Nor were they for a lot of other movies ... BvS was pretty positive but they saw the Ultimate cut... Not the theatrical.

I used to get invites to movies when I was at my former workplace and reviewed movies. I gave a couple bad reviews and STILL got invited back for other movies. So no, that's false.

I've seen evidence of it happening, sure it's not 100% of the time but influencers have been guided in the past.

Influencers are some of the biggest weak-minded mofos out there. Only a few I trust like Strawhat Goofy or JStoobs
Best scene in the movie.
Hopefully there’s at least one gay chicken scene in the new movie to make it as authentic as possible. Bonus points if balls touch.
