Oh, boy! Another movie where the AI necromancers can rip Val Kilmer's soul into smaller pieces! I hope it does well. Then more movies can have AI Val Kilmer. If they do well, we can eventually replace all actors and actresses with AI Val Kilmer. Imagine if that does well! We can replace your mom with AI Val Kilmer! Your cat with AI Val Kilmer! All shall Val
Are you upset about Val Kilmer appearing in the last movie, or is this something you are anticipating definitely happening for this one?
The dark wizards have already worked this magic
Admittedly, I've not seen either Top Gun. Never really appealed to me. I do think it's sweet that he was able to be included in the last movie. I do have skin in the game, however, because I am a KNOWER of TRUTH. THE TRUTH is that Tombstone is one of the goddamn greatest movies of all time and that's in large part because of Kilmer's performance as Doc Holliday.
I'm not even a Western guy but this shit still blows my dick off every time I see it
I'm sure the computers can do a serviceable job of making a facsimile of an actor but the physicality won't be there. The person won't be there. Movies are better when real actors are on sets with people and interacting with the things the viewer will see. Even if there's a stand in for the digital "actor", things aren't gonna feel right. To quote the wise philosopher Harry S. Plinkett, "You might not have noticed it, but your brain did."
Requiescat in pace, Val
You should watch the original at least. It’s quite good, but has a cheesy 80s blockbuster aesthetic with overly earnest acting. The newer one is not terrible, but it wouldn’t stand on its own feet without Cruise or the original.
It's one of those movies I've intended to watch a dozen times but haven't made the time for. I'll give it a watch here soon!
"I'm your huckleberry."
Can we get a Hotshots 3 to go along with it?
I have my fathers eyes 👁️ 👁️
another franchise they'll milk until everyone hates it
Are you suggesting that:
Are taking things too far?
The movies are dogshit.. their entire purpose is to make money.
I feel the need... the need... for reading glasses.
Fuck Scientologists especially this weirdo
This time Maverick is totally going to stick it to antifa.
Man, fuck offfffffff.
Is this gonna be the fully gay one, finally!
Top Gun 3: Pack Harder.
Ok
Tom Cruise is getting old. Although he's in the movie, he shouldn't be the star.
Love Tom’s work ethic. He makes fun movies and does his own stunts. He’s also batshit crazy, which works out for us… and part of a dangerous cult, which is not so good.
The second Top Gun movie only exists because Tom Cruise wanted to be Luke Skywalker. It’s a shameless ripoff of Star Wars. It’s also a really fun movie that is worth watching despite all the legit marks against it.
Until we know better, can we so start calling the new one Top Gun and the Sorcerer’s Stone? Because when I think flying, Potter on his broom was the first thought I had… and Tom Cruise certainly can’t do worse than that AI slop looking trailer HBO put out.
