Hope there’s a point to this movie other than merely regurgitating the original just to make Tom Cruise feel young again.

Quoted: I agree. Anytime they wait 30+ years for a sequel you know it's going to be bad. Tom Cruise would have been booted out after hitting 30 years as a Captain. Ed Harris is too damn old to play anyone who is active in the military. View Quote Google says he's 68... he looks more like he's 80. |

He owns a P-51 and flew it to Lemoore almost every week to fly with VFA-122. He flew a lot. I talked with a few IPs who flew with him and they said he was a damn good pilot.

And the Tomcat at the end...flying over mountains. View Quote |

So is the Tomcat CGI? Has the Navy quietly gotten one flying again? Did we get the Iranians to loan us one?

Looks like it'll suck.
Hell, half the scenes in the trailer look like they were just rehashing the SAME scenes from the original. Also, obligatory female fighter pilot named "Phoenix", for the SJW crowd. ETA: F-14 at the end was definitely CGI. |

Quoted:
Based upon how he has handled stunts and being told he could not do a particular stunt in the past he may have bought an F18 so he could fly it. View Quote View All Quotes View All Quotes |

I'm feeling skeptical about this. The charm of the first movie was a bunch of bad-boys who broke the rules but got the job done. But there's just something kind of sad about the bad boy who never grows up. I think it would have been better if Maverick was now the mature guy training new pilots, and he meets a young version of himself.

Quoted:
The Iranians have F-14's, and mountains, and they're not a major US movie market country that Hollywood would refuse to risk offending (coughCHINAcough). Assuming the bad guys ain't aliens my money is on Iran. I wouldn't be astonished if this went in a Firefox direction, Mav steals an Iranian Tomcat after being shot down on a mission over Tehran.

I'm betting he's actually piloting those. Not tandom or cgi. See: https://apnews.com/428b10f72e5a4227b6e31ece7d20bca8 Not: "I was solo piloting an F18". Not: "All low flying, mountain dodging scenes had no CGI background replacement" Huge difference. |

How about an Iranian F14 defected and Mav has to fly into Iranian territory with it for some sort of mission? View Quote View All Quotes View All Quotes Quoted:

They did. IP in the back of a 2-seater. He was flying in Lemoore all last summer. View Quote View All Quotes View All Quotes |
