ICYMI, Koimoi reviewed Top Gun: Maverick and rated it with 3.5 stars. Showering praises on Tom Cruise’s performance, the reviewer wrote, “Tom Cruise and his inevitable charm are in their natural habitat. The man can fly planes for real and all I could imagine was if he makes me his wingman someday and takes me on a tour! Playing a character with an emotional baggage after a very long time, he does that brilliantly. Maybe the fact that he has aged with the franchise for real has helped the most, but there are efforts put in and you have to appreciate that.”
Coming back, it’s surely a celebration time for all the Top Gun: Maverick and Tom Cruise fans.
