Lot of opinions on this one.


Once I separated my dislike of Tom Cruise the scientology cult member from the fictional movie character.....I actually enjoyed Maverick.




As far as him portraying Jack Reacher.....sorta short for that role. :rofl:

There is another Jack Reacher mini-series on Prime that is much closer to the novels and really good.

The movie was a tribute to aviation. The videography was as close to being low level as one can get without being there. I saw it in IMAX and it about blew me out of the seat.

If you were looking for a shootem up character to match a video game, wrong movie.

I was raised by a career Air Force Pilot, grew up around aviation, did my hitch working on F-16s and F4s about the time the original came out. I got a pilot's license at the aero club, and owned a Piper Cherokee with my Dad.

Cruise sux as a person, but I enjoyed Maverick a lot...

Check out the Reacher series on Netflix. Alan Ritchson is much truer to Lee Child's book character than Tom Crusie.

I think the first one was pretty good.
Hard to follow in a sequel.

Yep....the Cruise version of Reacher really seemed way removed from the actual character.

Prime series seemed to nail it, in my opinion.
Yep. I'm anxiously awaiting the second season.

I don't know why they didn't just send a drone, it would have eliminated the need to dog fight the other pilots after destroying the target. I mean, it set up lots of action, but I also had a hard time believing they just left the target open to attack as long as they stayed in the valley. Was like the death star and they set up all those defenses, except if they flew in the valley.

Cuz the whole point of the movie was that they still could use a real pilot in the seat.

I thought it was as fun of a movie to watch as the first one. I didn't have any expectations going in and enjoyed it. They had real aviators doing alot of the action part. Thank God we do. Now let them do more than shoot down balloons.

If you didn't like Maverick you probably watch Star Trek.

But they need the practice! The first missile shot at the Lake Huron balloon missed.

They weren't shooting at the balloon. They were and did destroy the recording device but only after it recorded and sent it's info. ;)
