-Phoenix wasn’t pushed as some love interest or bad girl or any of that shit. She was just a damn good pilot who happened to be a woman.
-Hangman didn’t pout, get pissy, walk out or anything when he wasn’t on the final squad. He was a cocky SOB but he was also a team player and that showed at the end.
-Mav/Rooster didn’t fight off a bunch of military people to get to that plane. The storyline of the bombing and smoke from it actually made everything completely believable and real.
-Teller, Powell, Ham. All very good actors added to this and they fit so well.
-Bob is Bill Pullman’s spawn? Well how bout that? 
I guess you could point to pure nepotism of Rooster being Dagger 2 simply bc of his ties to Maverick. It feels like he should have been barred from being on the squad for his actions during training.
All in all amazing. Loved it. |
The 20ish minutes from 'send it' to Hangman showing up was just so damn well done. The practical effects and cinematography was just ****ing amazing. Hell, even the last 2 minutes of that when the last jet shows up with the 'sad top gun' soundtrack and then the missile releases...and the top gun bell.
**** this movie is awesome.
In the theater it was the most enjoyable movie experience I have EVER had. The only think close was Dunkirk on the 2nd largest screen in North America.
