A lot of what made two so good was the connection with the first movie. I feel this is now a money grab which is concerning. Hopefully I am wrong and the story is actually very well done.

Yeah you could say the same for Maverick though. Nobody expected it to be any good, like basically every 20-year-later sequel. None of them are ever good, and yet Maverick was fantastic.
Benefit of the doubt at this point.

This was exactly me. It was one of the very first movies I saw after covid and I went in expecting a popcorn flick and nothing more. I walked out having had a great movie experience with Maverick. I was also really glad they got Val in there before he passed away.

Doesn't that kind of highlight the general theme of what we're saying? In a sea of shit, Cruise was able to make a very good sequel to a 25 year old movie.

Just saying dammit, maverick was supposed to be a massive failure. Cruise has let me down twice, MI2 and MI8. Well I guess the Mummy also, eyes wide shut isn't as bad as I thought it was
Hard to think of an actor that have such a successful resume

Eyes wide shut is so darn odd and creepy and then you realize that its his IRL wife and it’s creepy-er and odd-er and wtf-er.
It’s also funny he was outed bc no rich sex addict comes to the cult sex meetings in a normal cab.

There is so many conspiracy theory about that movie, if I remember right there was stuff taken out of the movie when he died, a lot of people in the industry said he wouldnt have had the film end as it was.
I didn't know he died days after he did his cut of the movie
Of course the one I find is Rogan.
I just put his name together. Roger Avery, he was working in on Brett Easton elis movies and fucked his career up with Dui/Drugs right after Rules of attraction, he was supposed to do glamarama or whatever then made a low budget film that was never released. He did mimick Kubrick so much in Rules of attraction. Can't believe I didn't notice that

I don't know what plot they'll contrive to get Maverick in an F-14 where he is a monster and I don't care. After Maverick and a hundred other bangers he's earned my trust!
But this might also be a modern rendition of the US military and just be him flying F-22's and bombing civilians in Gaza.

Tom didn’t let you down with MI2, John Woo let us all down. It was such an odd swing and a miss. We got doves
, at least. The Killwr, Hard Boiled, Broken Arrow, Face Off, his short film for BMW with Clive Owen…. So good, and it just wasn’t meant to fit with Mission Impossible sadly.- 1
