‘Top Gun: Maverick’: The only movie review you need if you’re being honest about Tom Cruise

When Luke Y. Thompson (AV Club) told us he’d screened Top Gun: Maverick but hadn’t been commissioned to write a review, we knew that we needed him to write one for the Underground Bunker. Our association with Luke goes back more than 20 years, to a now defunct publication, New Times Los Angeles, where he was one of the very few reviewers in the country who actually liked John Travolta’s Battlefield Earth. In other words, Luke calls them the way he sees them. We knew he’d have a unique take on Tom Cruise’s new movie, and we weren’t disappointed.

I loved the original television show, MISSION IMPOSSIBLE because it was all about the team and the teamwork.

I never liked the movies because the teamwork aspect was missing from the movies and it was just the Tom Cruise Show.

I did like the original Top Gun movie though but I can just imagine the sequel laying it all on a little too thick with Tom Cruise the Superhero. Come to think of it, isn't that what it always was with people like him?

Yes! I use to watch the original Mission Impossibe on TV all the time. A great show.

Lol, a pretty scathing review.

I can just image TC yelling at him thru his mansion walls to slam his ethics back in.....

Cruise is never going to live down that couch jumping episode, is he? But the constant commenting on that is getting a little old now.
 
Tom saluting DM was pretty bad too.....

Actually, it was fucking insulting to pretty much every Sea Org Member. Tom Cruise wasn't a Sea Org member as he never did Product 0 on the EPF like everyone else. On top of that, there is the matter of David "Darth Midget" Miscavige being a totally fake Right Arm rate as he never conned a Sea Org vessel (for which he was never qualified); and, therefore - per Flag Order - D.M. was not and is not entitled to officer courtesies such as salutes in the first place.
 
Yea.....that bit of TV history is not going to go away, I'm afraid.

T.C. couch jumping happened in 1998. Last time I checked, it is now 2022, so 24 years ago. What was his sin? A bit over-enthusiastic about his love for Nicole Kidman (listen to the recorded dialogue between he and Oprah) and maybe jumping on Oprah's couch could be considered rude. The critic community pretty consistently omits why he was jumping on the couch whenever using this incident to portray T.C. as a crazy person.

Yea….He was in LOVE!

Didn’t David Miscavige have some Sea Org slaves plant a field of flowers for them to run around in at Int Base?
 
It’s kinda funny, if Nicole’s Father was a Psychologist….she would forever be an Illegal PC… as would her children…. And Tom Cruise would always be a PTS.

Thems the rules….
Why did he go there?

Edited: (ask me how I know....)

I thought it was all about Katie Holmes?

The timelines are a better fit.
 
This article I found claims it's from 2005 and it was all about Katie. He was supposed to be doing a promo for his War of the Worlds movie, but had a little distraction from it.
