Dont like the name, but I'm smiling about this. Agree on the other poster, lack of apparent CGI makes this promising. Even if it does suck, i want to see it in an IMAX.

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

Good, because there's been so many fakes trailers posted lately.

I heard they were trying to get an F14 flying again for this, I wonder if it happened.

In the last few seconds of the trailer there was an F14 flying off.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

How about an Iranian F14 defected and Mav has to fly into Iranian territory with it for some sort of mission?

"All the flying in the trailer is real".  Ok, cool.

Not: "I was solo piloting an F18".  Not: "All low flying, mountain dodging scenes had no CGI background replacement"  Huge difference.

That would work.  Or they revamp a museum F-14 and paint it in Iranian colors for recon (which is dumb, but it's a Hollywood kind of dumb).
