Like this movie gave a damn on the work they were doing here. It has beats to reflect on the original but it doesn't romanticize him to the point of nostalgia ad nauseum. These characters had some depth to them that made them of value to some degree. Very impressed on what they did w/ the characters.
The story is solid. There are some moments we've seen before but they really do them well and make it their own. I liked the growth of Maverick. Very much the same man but his maturity and responsibility also hovers around him. It's very well done.
Visuals are awesome w/ those jets. My only issue w/ the imagery is that it's a bit too heavy on blue and the darks go dark as hell. Like almost unnecessarily so. Some shots it looks good in but then there are parts where the darks don't make sense to me. Wish when it was on the blue scale it wasn't so dark.
I almost want to say it's as good, if not better than the original Top Gun.

I enjoyed it more, think it was the action sequences which looked incredible.
