Saw it tonight. Son of a friend of ours rented the theatre for 30 guests. Good, but over hyped.

Agree. It was better than the original which I think is a "so bad it's good" kinda movie.

Both are "Hollywood formula" with regard to the plot. The first had decent cinematography in the flight scenes that was quite cutting edge at the time, then reverted back to the awful predictable over-exaggerated characters because Hollywood wasn't sure the audience could pick up anything more subtle as a sledgehammer. Obviously the flight sequences in Maverick are even more breathtaking, but again, soppy character development and almost predictable dialogue in my opinion. But then again, I'm an old curmudgeon in search of something new and novel.

Got a decent Rip off my Usenet site i go to. Thought it was OK but not great. Never really been a Cruise fan. Saw maybe a couple of his first Mission Impossible flicks and they were enough for me and didn't see any of the rest. Just don't care for the guy.

Thought you might like the heads up.

A movie that begs to be seen on the big screen with the best AV tech and watching it on a computer. SMH

Havent set foot in a movie theater since 1999. Just don't care to be in with crowds. Rather see everything in my own comfort at home.

Go on a Tues for reduced prices. They’re so comfortable. It’s a major change to movies.

OMG Maverick was so GOOD! I was holding my breath and clenching my toes the last half hour. I’m exhausted.
I love that stuff.
