It's been a while since the last time I enjoyed myself a movie as I am focusing my time these days on other things...
So today I figured to take a movie out of my bucket list and gave Top Gun Maverick a go.
Now, I am not a huge fan of the original film. It's just a dumb Hollywood action flick with lots of bang bang and some scenes that are just unforgettable. But it did came when I was a kiddo so there's a lot of nostalgia associated with it.
Well, I liked it. I liked it a lot.
It just hit all the right nostalgia sweet spots, yet it was fresh enough. And it still was a dumb movie that I enjoyed from start to finish. And all that air fight scenes were just awesome. 😄
Dunno about the young generation will like it since it just won't feel the same with the nostalgia factor amiss.
All I know is I felt like watching the good ol Hollywood I grew up with, without all the cgi crap we have been cursed the past decade. And it felt like I was a kid again back in the 90s.
An amazing sequel we never asked yet we received.
The only thing I didn't like was how a certain part of the plot (no spoilers) felt like it was stolen from Area 88, the original anime. Dunno if it accidental or not, it just fell like a total rip off. Fuck it, I will rewatch that anime after finishing this post 😂
Anyways. If you have somehow haven't watched it yet, and you are 30+ give it a go. And if you are younger I think it's still worth it, even just for the aerial fights.
A solid 8/10.... Fuck it, I'll give it a 10/10. Tom deserves it for looking like he is still in his mid 30s in the movie 😂
