Over the course of his lengthy career, Tom Cruise has starred in all kinds of films. He has explored various genres, ranging from romance to drama and even horror. However, he managed to find his home in the world of action, starring in some of the most iconic action films known in recent years.
His most successful work, to date, has to be the Mission: Impossible series. While audiences best know him as Ethan Hunt, there is another film series that has been regarded as his best.
Top Gun: Maverick certainly took audiences by surprise, and there are several reasons for it. As the film turns two, fans look back at all of the highlights of the film and cannot help but be impressed by how good it was.
Tom Cruise’s Top Gun: Maverick Turns 2
In 1996, Tom Cruise starred in an action-romance film called Top Gun. The project got a lot of acclaim and became beloved by fans all over the world. Years passed, and the actor became bigger and bigger. Despite all his success, this movie was labeled a classic. When it was announced that Top Gun would be getting a sequel, 36 years after its release, it is safe to say that audiences were skeptical.
While many did not understand the need for a sequel, they learned soon after its release that the addition was very much worth it. Top Gun: Maverick was a masterpiece through and through, featured an exceptional cast, and gave a very good reason to come back. It was even nominated for six Oscars and won one.
Knowing how iconic the film has become, it is not surprising that fans are ecstatic at its second anniversary.
Fans Show A Wave of Support
While there is no denying that Top Gun: Maverick was an exceptional film, the support the film is suddenly getting from fans is quite surprising. It was recently reported by The Hollywood Handle that the film was released on May 27, 2022. Interestingly enough, fans flooded the comments of the post with only positive things to say about the project.
They commented that the film should not have worked, having been released more than three decades after the original. Despite the odds being stacked against it, the movie managed to make $1.496 billion worldwide on a budget of $170 million.
