Very Good, I was rather uncertain at first but the film got better as it went on so I score it 8/10, same as the latest Bond.
It was always going to be compared with the original I didn’t think it quite beat it, on the positive side, no physical violence, gunfights or murders, a refreshing change these days.

I am not a fan of Tom Cruise but my husband is and wants us to go watch this new film.

When my husband was younger he could pass as Mr Cruises double, not that that has anything to do with this film, just thought I'd throw that bit of useless information in !! confused

Val Kilmer’s appearance was so moving! I had a lump in my throat!

Tom Curse looks brilliant for his age

Was this deliberate? ????

Currently rewatching the original (again!) hoping to see the new one on Saturday. DH & I really looking forward to it!!

I saw Top Gun yesterday and thought it was terrific.
Had poignant moments, nostalgia and amazing fighter aircraft scenes. Great entertainment!

Really looking forward to it, for two years! I too have vivid memories of the first one, seems like another life then.
We’re getting an early copy to watch at home, smart tv sound at its best!

We had to see 24hrs after it opened my OH was itching to see it.
It's good, really good especially for a sequel one of the best.
Tom Curse looks brilliant for his age and this sequel knits nicely into the original, with frequent references to the original film.
Enjoy its fab.

I’m glad I’m not the only one, I hope you all enjoy it. It’s edge of the seat stuff very exciting.

Booked in the local cinema tonight, loved the first film, I’m sure the sequel will be at least as good.

He seems like a very nice man,i watched the first Top Gun film but not bothered either way if i watch the new one,not a lover of films at the best of times.

Glad to see a positive view from a 'real' person as opposed to a critic. I'm very much looking forward to seeing it next week - and I really admire Tom Cruise for his work ethic.

O didn't see the first film and I'm not a Tom Cruise fan but I really enjoyed the new Top Gun film. I found it very exciting.

I don’t have a cinema nearby but am looking forward to being able to see it in due course on tv or dvd. The original Top Gun is still one of my favourite films. The reviews are good. I’m not a Tom Cruise fan either but it seems he hasn’t aged much.?

I know it’s not everyone’s cup of tea and I’m not really that keen on Tom Cruise but I went with my daughter to see it tonight and really enjoyed it. The first Top Gun came out at a really significant time in my life and watching this new film took me right back there to 1986. It seems I’ve aged significantly and ‘Maverick’ hardly at all ?

Anyone else been tempted to see it?
