What does the press think?
According to Cinemateaser:
In this virtuoso show, obviously tailored for a (very) big screen, the Top Gun license finds almost unprecedented legitimacy and finds new youth: its last third skillfully plays with its recipes to mutate them as if they still exist. Tom Cruise is a small part of Ethan Hunt. “(Aurelien Alin) 4/5
According to Paris Match:
“The wait has been a long time, a generation has passed, but there is far from another soothing film to soothe a nostalgic audience, Top Gun: Maverick is also, and above all, a wonderful action film that can be found on the biggest screen. (Yannick Valley) 4/5
According to GQ:
“For those who were wondering if this new part could magically reproduce the original film, the show only takes a few minutes to prove it, even performing a pre-known score. (Adam Sanchez) 4/5
According to the cross:
“Very entertaining, the film is still experiencing an advertising aesthetic aimed at selling the American Dream, if possible before sunset on the beach.” (Stephen Dreyfus) 3/5
According to The Point:
“Nevertheless, Tom Cruise / Maverick has changed, improved over time, and gives the film an adventurous flavor by mixing three angled elements: action, aerial scenes (without special effects), Kleenex romance, and reflection on meaning. Of life, friendship, self-sacrifice, heroism. ” (Jean-Luc Vakhtausen) 4/5
According to Le Parisien:
“Finally, this second part successfully evaluates both those who were 15 years old in 1988 and today’s teenagers. (Reno Baronian) 4/5
According to Telerama:
“This adoration brings some joy to retro 80s movies. The training scenes and mission in the canyon, at very low altitudes, remind us of a star attack in Star Wars and we have to stop breathing.” (Carolyn Bess) 3/5
According to Le Figaro:
“Luping, ‘breaking’ and other attacks have no secrets for Joseph Kosinski, a director who is very comfortable in the air (see his Oblivion, already with Tom Cruise). (Etienne Sorin) 4/5
According to CNews:
“Finally, Top Gun: Maverick manages to take us on a new adventure that turns out to be fascinating, despite a completely agreed-upon scenario. It’s pure entertainment that deserves to be nothing more. And the talent of Tom Cruise. “It has a lot in common.” (Hera) 3/5
According to Widescreen:
“Top model: Maverick goes beyond his insidiously spectacular flight sequence. Tom Cruise allows him to question his own legend to better prove that he is the best. An honest, generous artisan blockbuster and full of class.” (Antoine Desrus) 4/5
Top cruise sees Cruise
“Top Gun Maverick deserves to be seen on the biggest screen. A blockbuster that looks like the perfect mix of madness, betting and action to keep your eyes on the screen. Tom Cruise keeps the momentum. And no one has more fun than Glen Powell.”
