8/10
Heavily overrated!

How long are we expected to wait for a sequel to a legendary movie? Is it expected that as fickle as movie goers are; Top Gun:Maverick is to be gushed over as a blockbuster or be treated as a pretty good follow up. I expected more than a mediocre rehash of hunks of the most liked scenes in the original. Sure Tom Cruise is outstanding, mostly due to his work ethics and still being able to physically put his body through the rigors of making a movie.

Maverick has a disappointing rank for his years in the Navy; but of course his attitude and arrogance has pissed off numerous superior officers. He is more or less given a final chance to stay around even longer by returning to Top Gun and taking charge of training a squad of younger "best-of-the-best" to destroy an enemy uranium plant.

The flying scenes are stunning and choreographed flawlessly. The chemistry with Jennifer Connelly is smooth as magic. And the small part of Val Kilmer purely heartfelt. A very good popcorn movie. And for certain, Maverick (Cruise) still owns the sky!
