It’s safe to say Top Gun: Maverick is the blockbuster of the summer we didn’t see coming.

Yea… we hear about remakes or sequels being done years after the original was released. The majority of the time, it makes us all cringe. Perhaps that’s what we all expected out of this film when we heard of it’s existence. Were we ever SO WRONG!

This film is flat out one of Tom Cruise’s best work. Whether you know the backstory or not, this film will fill you with a rush of adrenaline and will have you clinging to your seat. The chemistry between Tom Cruise and Miles Teller is one for the books and will have you on an emotional roller coaster ride.

Let’s not forget the cameo by Val Kilmer, which perhaps is one of the most endearing and heart-warming moments of the film. With everything going on in his life and with his health issues that are clearly mirrored in the film as well, perhaps this is his way of saying good-bye to Hollywood. You will see the love radiate between him and Tom Cruise, which might make you say who’s cutting onions in here?!

So many films are being released this summer, but my money is on this film staying at the top for quite a few months. You could say TOP GUN: Maverick surpasses your expectations and even the original!
