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. 馃槃
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 馃槀
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 馃槀
