Meh. Not into these retreads.

Well this isn't a retread, but a sequel. Cruise is the instructor now. I am going to give it a chance. Most of the younger crowd in my office is very excited (and yes, they watched on VHS or DVD years later), but then again I am an Aerospace Engineer, so that's to be expected. :cool:

I'm not a huge Tom Cruise fan. He thinks way too highly of himself, and given his L Ron Hubbardism and other at times weird behavior is a bit of a freak.

But Top Gun was one of the best movies of the 80s hands down, so I plan to go to this one. I never saw Top Gun in the theater even though it came out when I was a freshman, but did catch it on cable a year later.

And yes, I am worried that they are just going to re-do the whole "Maverick as the outsider fighting the legacy of his father" schtick with Goose's son, but I will wait and see.

Likely Cruise had a huge influence on the production of this one, unlike the original which is what really started him to fame along with Risky Business, and based on his production of the Mission Impossible series, which I find amusing but mostly silly, I am not holding my breath. I expect Top Gun II to be over the top like MI is, and I will likely be rolling my eyes.

But I'm going to see it!
