Top Gun Maverick Movie Review - DownPit
This is precisely what Doctor Strange In The Multiverse Of Madness was supposed to be but failed to be. It's Top Gun: 'MAVERICK,' and thank goodness it's only about Pete. The Top Gun missions have always been above anyone else on the team. Cruise was in service, and the script used him as a backdrop to the mission rather than the main conflict.
Now that he has returned to service after three decades and the events that led to the death of his closest mate (guys, you have all the time in the world to watch the last film, don't call this a spoiler), he comes in with baggage. The world of Top Gun now revolves around Maverick and his life in the story based on Jim Cash and Jack Epps Jr's characters and written by Peter Craig and Justin Marks. Because, as we all know, the previous epic batch of recruits produced Maverick, and there is no one better than him. We're not told that again in a flashback, but rather by an aged but still smoking hot character. Pete walks onto the screen and does what he knows.
He can fly his jet even between two poles that are very close together. The screenplay by Christopher McQuarrie, Eric Warren Singer, and Ehren Kruger excels in recognising that thirty years have passed, technology has advanced, and there are more skilled people on the planet. This means that there are more people who can fly their jets in adverse conditions (at least basic worse). So, what distinguishes Maverick? Who will be the Maverick who will rule them all? His background and baggage.
Maverick is now portrayed as a lonely man who lives to test limits, defy the rules of speed, nature, and his bosses, and ensure that no one else is harmed as a result of him. He is alone because attachments make him vulnerable, and their loss shatters him into tiny pieces. There is regret that he was unable to save his man, as well as guilt that he walked away. And how it all comes together to form a beautiful story is admirable.
What isn't commendable is the script's treatment of the new generation with such suspense that even a newcomer can tell they're hiding them in order to make more movies about them. Also, the ladies. Why would you limit Jennifer 'I can win hearts with my gaze'? 'I am one of the most bada** people,' say Connelly and Monica. To the men around them, he was a barbarian. Giving them their own identity aside from serving the male characters would have given them a lovely edge.
