Top Gun: Maverick (2022)

Stating the supremely obvious here, but man what a juggernaut this has been all year. I don't think a single person saw it coming, but you still hear about this movie in some capacity DAILY.

But that's mainly because Lordoftherings keeps bumping the thread.

These days, I think the most these big huge blockbusters can hope for is a nom for best picture, and this film certainly deserves it, I feel. But winning best picture? Probably unlikely. I think The Return of the King was the last Mohican of the big blockbuster to accomplish that.

I think the best picture should have solid drama and brilliant acting. I think Top Gun is a brilliant movie but (IMHO) I saw a lot of movies that were better acted.

Maybe here at the BD Forum had no idea, but Paramount surely did. That's why they kept moving the release date. They knew they had the goods. All they needed was a level playing field as far as movie theaters.

One of the best Movies I ever watched

As of yesterday, December 9

Number 15 spot of all time domestic inflation adjusted, surpassing 'The Avengers'

Best Picture of the year? No, this would go to 'Avatar: The Way of Water'

By the way, Maverick by next Thursday (Dec. 15) = 203 days (domestic); its last day of the year.
That's 7 months minus 1 week.

Then we can deduct that Avatar 2 could well play all 2023 year, and make over $2 billion plus. If it wasn't for Covid around the world ... perhaps $3 billion. We'll see ...

2023 Oscar Predictions – Best Picture Begins to Take Shape

[Jay H.]

For me, it wasn't the best movie of the year. It was the second-best. Great movie.

What are we deducting from?

I do not think Avatar will come close to beating TGM. I don't there is the anticipation for it that some thing, especially given how technology has evolved since the first one, and also how more contemporary reviews of the first film haven't been as kind.

I sure don't go by the numbers for Best Picture of the Year.
I go with my guts for now.

Avatar: The way of Water is on a higher plane than Top Gun: Maverick ... IMHO
...All across levels. I already gave my score to Maverick ( )

If Avatar 2 was a 2023 flick Maverick would be number one in 2022.
* I didn't see all the films made in 2022; there are just too many.

Too many movies not enough time.

Only 2 golden globes nominations ?

It's too new to have generated any major buzz for the Globes and typically awards bodies don't go for blockbusters anyway. Plus the Globes doesn't have technical categories like VFX, sound or editing which Avatar would be more competitive in.

Why do you speak about Avatar, this is the Top Gun: Maverick thread.

That's not bad for a flix like Top Gun: Maverix; and it's early.

Because Avatar 2 is the only one real competition to Maverick in 2022.
It's part of the Top Gun game @ the movies.

We're in it for the full entertainment; IMAX 3D or not.
