I am concerned.

Why?

I am concerned that words like “franchise” and “reboot” and “next generation” were being tossed around by studio executives.

Top Gun was never designed to be a franchise and the fact that it managed one good sequel is remarkable, studio just needs to take the win and do something else with its money.

That would require taking a risk on original ideas.

I understand that American military propaganda is a very popular movie flavour… shoot, I enjoy it myself… But that second movie was just soooo bad. I could barely finish it. It was only through morbid curiosity that I was able to get through it.

It received tons of accolades, so I was quite surprised when I actually watched it. It was... okay.

I didn't even watch it. Thanks for confirming my suspicions on how bland he is and how terribly boring the movie would be.

Another boring cookie cutter no talent tom movie I won't be watching.

I posted this 1990 quote from Cruise in a similar thread, but it’s relevant here too:

“I want the kids to know that’s not the way war is. That’s why I didn’t go on and make ‘Top Gun II’ and ‘III’ and ‘IV’ and ‘V.’ That would have been irresponsible.”
