As usual Tom Cruise is always at his best in what he is supposed to deliver as a lead actor in any movie offered to him. It is so unbelievable that even at 59 he looks hell young as someone of 45 years, or even lesser. His down to earth attitude with a smart personality is always a winning point.
For those who haven't watched 1986's masterpiece and original Top Gun, I strongly advise you to watch it, because it has emotional and eventual connection with this sequel. Val Kilmer's short yet impactful role of Admiral Iceman, now a sufferer of throat cancer, shares emotional bonding with Pete in a part. Role of young pilot trainees and graduates played by Miles Teller, Glenn Powell and Monica Barbaro are outstanding and performed exceptionally brilliant.
Last but not the least, Jennifer Connelly deserves a strong applaud for her performance as Pete's new love interest Penelope and a single mother. Her presence alongside Tom adds a slight comfort and helps in moving the story forward.
Overall, this one is a highly recommendable sequel and more powerful than the original.
