Top Gun – Maverick “Better than the original”

“Top Gun: Maverick” may well be the box-office hit of the year, thanks to a perfect storm of circumstance.

• It’s Memorial Day weekend.

• People are feeling a tiny bit more adventurous.

• Everyone needs an escape from the horrors of the real world.

• And… Tom Cruise.

It’s two hours of sheer, visceral fun on the big screen, which feels very retro. In the best possible way.
