Filmmaking / Directing : Maverick vs Maverick by Robert Macfarlane

Robert Macfarlane

Maverick vs Maverick

I flipping loved the cinema stomping blockbuster Top Gun Maverick, it delivered a sequel worthy of its origins in every way but I wondered if it was actually a better film...

With that in mind I decided to hold both films up, pitting Joseph Kosinski and Tony Scott directing chops against one another.

Who won...

Abdur Mohammed

My two cents: When I first joined the Navy (Naval Aviation)...the Original Top Gun provided the allure of a non-existent fantasy that drove attitudes etc...the second film brings to contrast the reality of that world - less the still fantastic adventure-filled storyline.

Amanda Toney

That is a TOUGH fight… I’m curious who won in your eyes. We work with the development executive of TOP GUN Maverick and she just did a webinar for us breaking down her entire development process of Maverick. If you haven’t watched it yet navigate to the education section in the top menu bar, then click on webinars, then type in top gun and you’ll get to the webinar.

Amanda Toney it was a tough fight between Kosinski and Tony Scott. In the video above I chose not to get technical but instead looked at techniques both directors would have had access to at the time of filming and literally gave points!

I will be sure to check out the webinar thank you!
