Top Gun Maverick

[leemozoid]

Meh. It was ok. Think it was way over hyped. A lot of forced scenes that could have been left out like the sailing scenes and the chic flick parts. It seemed more of a top gun remake than a sequel. Not sure how the squid ranking system is, but noticed when Tom was calling goose' kid he yelled out Lt. Bradley or whatever and he had captain bars on his shoulders. Would've liked to have seen more dog fighting and .mil tomfoolery, but that's just me. At least it wasn't too bad of a hit since we went to the matinee so it only cost $9.

Navy O-3 is a Lt. Navy O-2 is a Lt. (junior grade). Navy O-1 is an Ensign.

Great flick......and if anyone is worried about Kelly McGillis being in the cast, fear not lol. Rotten tomatoes gives it a 97% for a good reason.

Have you seen her lately? Time has not been kind. Sad about Val Kilmer though. Hope he kicks cancer's a**. #fu*kcancer.

Hi speed ejection, in real life, generally carries the risk of devastating physical injuries, including some truly horrific kinds (think a human wishbone). However, the specific risk vaires by the kind of ejection seat, speed, altitude, etc. I used to fly F-15Es, many years ago, and supersonic ejection was a big time "no-no" if it could be avoided.

Thank you. Been a tough couple of months - my father passed away in March and my father-in-law passed away a week ago. It is part of life but both are missed greatly.

2nd worst movie of all time right behind "The Thin Red Line".

Are you talking about the WW2 movie on Guadalcanal with Sean Penn, John Cusack and Nick Nolte? If so, I’ll have to disagree with you about that. I thought it was a good movie, if a tad overly philosophical. The action going up the hill was well done, and the emotions displayed during the stress of combat accurately portrayed. I’d even say it was better than the second half of “Saving Private Ryan” which was carried on the strength of the opening scenes on the beach.
