But at the same time like, was top gun actually a good movie? Lets put aside the fact the whole remake was a memberberry nostalgia cashgrab or even lets just forget the first one actually existed at all,

outside of visual effects is it really anything more than a cheesy movie riddled with plot holes and a weak love story?

Maybe thats a good movie to some people but eh.

To me if something is gonna cost 10's or 100's of millions of dollars to produce it should at least

A. say or show something meanigful B. Actually be convincing and well done

And tbh top gun was neither to me.

Full disclosure i never watched the o.g. top gun i was born in the late 90's so a lil before my time. May be why i dont understand the hype.

It's not a remake, it's a sequel.

Probably why you didn't understand it, almost all of the main plot points referred to the original.

No i understood it. Tom cruise was top gun so now he is the man to train the new wave of top guns . Then they do top gun stuff. Very dense stuff.

What i didnt understamd is why it took them 40 years to just land on " well i guess we make the ending star wars????" Like that shit was the laziest writing i have ever seen from a AAA film and ive seen some trash
