John Berman Criticizes ‘Top Gun’: It’s Not as Good as You Remember

‘Is Goose gonna be in it?’

CAMEROTA: “It’s been more than 30 years, but Maverick is back.”

HARRIS: “A two-star admiral by now, yet here you are. Captain, why is that?”
CRUISE: “It’s one of life’s mysteries, sir.”

CAMEROTA: “Ooh, that does look good. That looks really good. I think that Tom Cruise guy has got something. I think he’s going to be a big star. This is the ‘Top Gun’ sequel.”
BERMAN: “That no one asked for.” 
CAMEROTA: “Tom Cruise still — he still has the iconic bomber jacket, okay? He keeps things.” 
BERMAN: “Hasn’t washed it.” 
CAMEROTA: “He also has his aviator sunglasses. I would have lost them by now. But hotshot young fighter pilot is now an old school flight instructor. ‘Top Gun: Maverick’ hits theaters next summer. I think you’re underestimating this, John. I think it’s going to be great.” 
BERMAN: “Is Goose going to be in it?” 
CAMEROTA : “I don’t know.” 
BERMAN: “He’s dead. All right? He’s not going to be in it.” 
CAMEROTA: “But I mean, after 30 years you never know. He might be back.” 
BERMAN: “He might be back. That could be a twist that would get me to — go back and watch ‘Top Gun’ again. I promise you, it’s not as good as you remember. All right? It isn’t. It isn’t. I don’t want to have to break it to you, but it’s true.”
