Todd Gaines’s review published on Letterboxd:
Top Gun: Maverick literally took my breath away. From the opening to the end, I was glued to the screen. Tom Cruise’s Maverick is a movie icon, but damn both Glen Powell’s Hangman and Miles Teller’s Rooster made every scene they were in even better. I’m on board for a Glen Powell Best Supporting Actor Oscar Nomination, and Miles Teller winning Best Mustache of 2022.
Maverick is how you make a fuckin’ sequel. Hell yes!! Maverick is the most pure action movie in recent memory. It felt like a Hollywood Summer Blockbuster made in the ‘90s. A film the entire family couldn’t wait to go see. A film that only cared about the audience watching. Fuck you, Green Screen! Fuck you, CGI! Fuck yes to awesome action! Fuck yes to pulse pounding moments! Fuck yes to every single motherfuckin’ second of this movie!
Let’s fuckin’ go! Maverick is the realest of real deals. A movie for the ages. A pure adrenaline rush. A movie for those who still believe in the power of movies.
