As formulaic as it is, there’s no denying that it delivers in terms of both nostalgia and reinvention.

This buckle-up follow-up also demonstrates why we feel the need for movie stars... It’s the way we identify with the guy when he’s doing what most of us thought impossible.

Good ol' cheesy as hell, silly-heroic entertainment with mile-high enthusiasm — a welcome throwback to simpler cinematic times.

Teller and Powell are breezily appealing... though the movie still belongs in almost every scene to Cruise.

Kosinski and co deliver all the Top Gun feels and then some... Punching the air is mandatory.

It’s a fresh-faced gloss on the original... powered, like the original, by a star who’ll simply never stop being a star.

New York Post
This is a worthy, often exemplary follow-up to the 1986 classic. It’s everything a summer movie should be.

A much better film than its predecessor was, and much better than it needs to be overall.
