A supposed sequel to the 1986 film 'Top Gun' which was not a horrible movie, but it was cliched, predictable and nothing like the Navy or aviation at all. A pure fantasy for the jingoistic armchair generals who would 'rah-rah' and cheer at the 1986 Libya air and sea war that (coincidentally) came that year, and later get their rocks off watching and listening to the 24/7 live TV and radio coverage of the drama in Iraq in 1991 and every war since. The film didn't faze or offend me. I was in the Navy during the time. Americans who never served thought it was as so 'apple pie' grand. It wasn't. Some critics bashed it, saying it glorified war. No, it didn't - there was no war in the plot. It was just an unrealistic fantasy, that's all.
This sequel, now dubbed 'Top Gun: Maverick' is SAID to be out soon but it's been put off again and again. It's supposed to take place 36 years later. Well, everything has changed since 1986. As a veteran I can tell you that NOBODY serves that long in the service, let alone flies jet fighters. Even more, Tom Cruise himself turned down doing a sequel in the late 80s. If this film does come out, I hope it's a BOMB. It's preposterous, unrealistic, stupid and an idiotic pile of shit. Most of my Generation X has moved on, this ain't the 80s anymore. Since Cruise has tarnished his image and rep over the years, his career is declining AND he has a daughter begat by a dumb starfucker to feed, I guess this would be something to fall back on. Maybe.

1. Already at Christmastime 2020 there were toy jetson sale promoting and hyping 'Top Gun: Maverick' as a 'soon in theaters' film. But supposedly the current keeps putting its release off. So will it come out or not? Or was it even made?
2. After all this time and everything that has come and gone, why in God's name is this 'Top Gun: Maverick' even coming out, IF it is and IF it's even been made. Can't Hollywood make ANYTHING original anymore? Besides, most sequels esp. ones that come so many years later are absolute trash, garbage, rubbish, shit and crap. Not worth your time or money. Or theirs.
3. I know all the armchair warriors and Ted Nugent types who think war is a game are going to pack the cinemas to see this in late May and slap their monkeys, if it does ger released. As a Navy veteran, I can only advice you - this film can only be a dud. It (and the 1986 one) are nothing like the Navy or even the REAL 'Top Gun' flight school.' Top Gun: Maverick' is trash, go watch something else.
