After having seen it now, I can very happily say that Top Gun: Maverick is the definition of the word awesome. I was curious about this sequel, but I recently became very excited about it. I actually had a good time with the original upon rewatching it. The first Top Gun is actually glorious for all the 80s cheese it has and the aerial scenes still hold up today. I'm more than happy to admit when I'm wrong about something or when my mind changes, and I have to do that here. I continued to think negatively about it throughout the years but recently gave it another shot before the release of Top Gun: Maverick. I found it to be incredibly cheesy and uninteresting.

When I first saw the original Top Gun, I really wasn't all that impressed. Rating: PG-13 (Some Strong Language|Sequences of Intense Action)
