'The problem is that movies like that so rarely get the type of attention they deserve. The last time a blockbuster went home with the Best Picture Oscar was back in 2003...'
Originally due for release in July 2019, it was first delayed to give it time to add several complicated action sequences, with a new release date of June 2020. Then came the pandemic, and the movie's release date was pushed back over and over again, until it did eventually land in cinemas in May 2022, almost 36 years to the day since the original Top Gun movie arrived.
Of course, the fact that all of this is matched with some brilliant direction by Joseph Kosinski, jaw-dropping cinematography by Claudio Miranda, supreme music by Hans Zimmer , and a collection of tremendous performances by Cruise, Teller, Kilmer, Glen Powell, Jennifer Connolly, Jon Hamm, Ed Harris and more besides... the movie never, not once, puts a foot wrong.
The problem is that movies like that so rarely get the attention they deserve. The last time that a movie that could be fairly called a blockbuster went home with the Best Picture was back in 2003, when The Return of the King won for what felt like the cumulative success of The Lord of the Rings Trilogy. But perhaps Top Gun Maverick deserves that cumulative win, too.
