Ty Cobb Posted May 31, 2022 Report Share Posted May 31, 2022 If you haven’t seen it yet, you need to. Very good movie. The writers did a good job of keeping the original movie and it’s characters yet moving to the next generation. Very emotional movie.

It looks like a good one, and hopefully concentrates on a good storyline and not wokeism! I’ve had about all the woke 💩 I can handle.

Good storyline tying the original to this one. Very clean movie. No sex scenes and very few bad words. There would be a lot more of them if I was in one of those jets. There’s even some comedic relief thrown into this emotional movie. I found myself fighting back tears on multiple occasions. Hagar 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
baddog Posted June 1, 2022 Report Share Posted June 1, 2022 Heck, in the first one, I liked Meg Ryan (good looking) better than Kelly McGillis, who was the female lead/love interest. Has been several Tom Cruise movies I liked. Risky Business is a great one Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tvc184 Posted June 1, 2022 Report Share Posted June 1, 2022 Cruise is probably politically, personally and religiously goofy in my opinion. But the guy can act and has been in several entertaining movies. The ones that I think of are such as…. Taps Top Gun Cocktail Young Guns Rain Man Born on the Fourth of July A Few Good Men Jerry McGuire Minority Report The Last Samurai War of the Worlds Jack Reacher And other good ones.

I did like Cocktail. Also liked Vanilla Sky. They’re all kooks, but can act. That’s why I don’t believe anything they say politically. It’s all an act.

Hagar Posted June 2, 2022 Report Share Posted June 2, 2022 Not many actors that can make me want to see a show on name alone. And then, only maybe. Cruise is one. I like the action types. Gerard Butler in the “Falling” series. Jason Statham in “The Transporter” series. Liam Neeson in the “Taken” series (first one great then downhill). Old ones would include William Powell in “The Thin Man” series, and John Wayne in anything. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Godfather 2, Rocky 2, and Rocky 4 are all better than the originals to me. The originals are still great though. Haven't seen the new Top Gun yet.

tvc184 Posted June 3, 2022 Report Share Posted June 3, 2022 A remake of it original movie, not a sequel, “basically” using the original script. Such as…. Dune Red Dawn True Grit The Thing Invasion of the Body Snatchers Miracle on 34th Street Midway Any number of movies named Godzilla or King Kong etc. But, like sequels, sometime the remake is better or more entertaining. Scarface and The Thing come to mind as great remakes. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
