Top Gun: Maverick

Sigh I'd almost forgotten this was coming.
I liked the original at the time and may struggle with this sequel,
But if they don't hurry up and release it none of the aircraft in it will be in active service anywhere.

I was in the cinema yesterday and they played the trailer.
I actually thought how it already felt old with F18s being the stars
I'm pretty sure there's an f22 in the trailer at one point :p but I suspect Tom cruise will be showing us he's such a cool pilot that he can out fly, out stealth, out dogfight it in his older airframe.

Other than that it looks like a straight scenes for scene remake/sequal of fast edited air porn.

oh whatever it was a Russian su52 similar shape :P

Early reviews very positive - quite surprised…

 
I have zero trust in critics and their reviews so will pass judgement when I watch it myself, I highly doubt its better than the original though, that would be a first in decades where a sequal has been better than the original.

The last one I can think of was Terminator 2: Judgement Day, and that came out 31 years ago!

How about Aliens?

Absolutely, but that's going back even further than T2 :)

Toy Story 2
The Dark Knight (debatable)
Captain America: The Winter Soldier

Toy Story 2 debatable
The Dark Knight debatable also
Captain America: Winter Soldier, while it was good I would place it firmly on par with the original. Certainly no where near the scale of T2 vs T1 or Aliens vs Alien.

CA TWS is, imo, one of the best Marvel films full stop. The original isn't an awful film but it's far from the level of its sequel.
 
It's be so terrible.

You guys do know that right?

I mean I love the original, probably in my top 5 all time movies.

There is no way this will ever capture anything the original did.

This is nothing more than a cash cow, made by people out to make money.
