Tom Cruise Upcoming Movie Top Gun Maverick Receives Praise For Everyone, Critics Says It's Most Thrilling & Interesting Sequel

Top Gun

It's been 36 years since Tom Cruise returned to the danger zone, and film critics said Thursday that it's worth waiting to see Top Gun again on the big screen.

  The sequel to the 1986 blockbuster "Top Gun: Maverick" received 96% of the 76 votes.

  The film will be shown in cinemas on May 27.

  In the film, the 59-year-old Cruise recreates his role, Pete Mitchell, a self-proclaimed Navy pilot, has never been promoted due to his tendency to trade authority. Mitchell, code-named Maverick, is asked to train a group of young fighter pilots for a special mission.

  The Associated Press's Mark Kennedy called the new film "a textbook example of how to shoot a sequel."

  "The film satisfies one foot in the past by hitting all the touchstones of the first film," Kennedy said, "and it still stands on its own."

  Box analysts predict that the film will be one of the biggest box office hits of the summer. It was scheduled to be released in June 2020, but was repeatedly postponed during the COVID-19 pandemic.

  Shawn Robbins, chief analyst at BoxOffice Pro, estimates that Memorial Day ticket sales in the United States and Canada will reach $ 100 million over the weekend. This will make him the highest-paying debut of his cruise career.

  The actor promotes the film at events around the world. At the premiere in San Diego, he made a spectacular introduction by piloting a helicopter. Next week, she will perform at the Cannes Film Festival in France.

  Critics said the film's thrilling flight scenes, the emotional story, and the supporting cast, including Miles Teller, who plays Maverick's partner Goz's son in the original film, offered strong performances.

  But most of the praise was on the Cruise.

  K. Austin Collins of Rolling Stone wrote: "It is a fresh-faced glow in the original ... supported by a star who, like the original, will never give up being a star."
