Just watched Top Gun Maverick and despite it being obvious US military propaganda it was pretty fucking rad. Really captured the feel of the original with updated effects while adhering as much as possible to using practical effects and a lot less CGI than I was expecting. Solid flick, and I will admit I got a little weepy during the Val Kilmer cameo (RIP).
Made me want to puke.
Not just the obvious US military propaganda but the extremly pathetic, bombastic and pompous storytelling.
I could stomach the original, but I hated evey aspect of this farce.
No one involved should ever be working on a movie ever again.
Oh chill out it was fine, you're not watching it for its politics you watch it for all the sick practical plane stunts, don't be a killjoy. 99% of all media is problematic, a lot more than that movie.
I said I enjoyed the first one despite the politics.
that was my issue, it's a crap movie on every level, I can't even remember any 'sick practical plane stunts'.
That's how underwhelming and forgettable this overhyped failure was.
