Fair play to the bloke for doing this all on his own but ffs did he not watch it back before release?.you can barely hear what people are saying. The acting is beyond terrible,the dialogue is embarrassing all you do is watch (skipped through)him run around for 2 hours. Worst thing I've ever seen.
The original top gun is my all time favourite film. It maybe a homo-erotic cheese fest but I can still watch it over and over again. It also boasts the greatest soundtrack to any film ever made.
When the trailer popped up on YouTube for top gun maverick in 2019 I nearly fell over. Ive never felt such excitement over a film in my life, I've also never been so scared of a film being bad.
After release I couldn't believe the reviews, I was so happy people were giving it 10 out of 10,I booked my ticket for imax and watched it. When I left the cinema I felt like a kid after you've opened all your Christmas presents, a bit underwhelmed. Don't get me wrong,I was blown away by the film, it absolutely flew past (pardon the pun) and was visually stunning but it just wasn't the original.
I waited a week and today I saw it again,I took my old man who's 63,he's not really a film person but he was loved it. He was laughing,ducking,shaking his head and even crying at the end. This film is without a doubt a 10 out of 10.
If you're expecting a shawshank redemption or The godfather worthy storyline then forget it,that's not what this is. What it is is the best cinematic experience you will ever witness,the flying scenes are stunning,the acting is bang on and it is pretty emotional at times.
This film isn't perfect,it still has unnecessary cheese and the sailing scene is utterly pointless. I would have preferred it to be more serious,I like heroes dying and sad endings but it is what it is.
At the end of the day if you don't see this in a cinema through imax you are missing out. Anyone giving this less than a 7 out of 10 are idiots (it's worthy of that for the flight scenes alone)
Absolutely amazing.
