If Maverick was a meal, it'd be unsalted rice with extra ego.

An absolute cinematic disaster.
The Maverick boys - Bret, Bart, Beau and Brent - are a clan of well-dressed dandies, gamblers who'd much rather make their money playing cards than messing up their fine clothing with actual work. Sly and clever, none of the Mavericks are much for acts of derring do, but they can be courageous when the situation calls for it. Most often, however, they live by their wits and considerable charm.

Laughed twice during Maverick. Once was a sneeze.

Maverick has the emotional range of a fridge magnet.

Unpopular opinion: Maverick is the most overrated film of the decade
Rewatched Maverick last night and noticed even more plot holes than the first time. The motivations don't track at all once you stop and think about act two.

[Spoilers] Can we discuss that absolutely baffling ending in Maverick?
Director clearly thought Maverick was deeper than it is. There's a difference between ambiguous and unfinished, and this leans hard into the second.

Why does no one talk about how mid the writing in Maverick actually is?
Honestly, Maverick would be a tight 95-minute movie. Instead we got a bloated runtime padded with B-roll and lingering shots that add nothing.

The cinematography in Maverick is doing all the heavy lifting and it shows
Look, I wanted to love Maverick. The trailer had me hyped. But sitting through the second hour felt like a homework assignment. The dialogue is exposition stacked on exposition and the score keeps telling me how to feel.
