- Excerpt: It’s wild what a plot can do. Where Top Gun succeeded on vibes alone, Maverick understands that the reason for getting all these characters together needs enough substance to sustain our interest in them as people.
- Matt Oakes @ Silver Screen Riot
- Excerpt: ‘Top Gun: Maverick’ is precisely the type of old-school action blockbuster that Hollywood no longer makes – feel-good and utterly thrilling, with edge-of-your-seat stunt work and mesmerizing star power in the form of Tom Cruise. The legacy sequel doesn’t lean too much on nostalgia for its own sake, packing plenty of emotional heft and boasting pitch-perfect pacing that keeps audiences pumping their fists and celebrating as if they too were flying high in the skies with the Top Gun grads.

- Diego Salgado @ SoFilm [Spanish]
- Josh Thayer (formerly Taylor) @ The Forgetful Film Critic
- Excerpt: Top Gun: Maverick is really after a sensory overload of emotion that sweeps the audience up in pure adrenaline. It’s fine for a movie to lift us off the ground with its storytelling, but it’s equally important to ask hard questions about it once we get our feet back on the ground.
- Sebastian Zavala @ MeGustaElCine.com [Spanish]
- Excerpt: A master class in tension and suspense; an exemplary action film that knows what people enjoyed from the first movie, and knows how to use the language of cinema to give audiences an experience that MUST be seen on the big screen.
