Well, just got back from watching the movie and while there were a couple slow moments, I really enjoyed it. The flying scenes were amazing and having the stars actually in the F-18 backseats while they were being performed makes the movie.
Now (Warning Spoilers!!) there were a couple things that popped into my mind:
So nick picking aside, I really enjoyed the movie, and it may have just been my imagination I think I know how the sequel works out.
Now (Warning Spoilers!!) there were a couple things that popped into my mind:
- Nice to see Jennifer Connelly again, can't remember the last time I've seen her on the screen;
- When Maverick explains the mission to his pilots, the first thing that popped into my mind was the movie 633 Squadron; from 1964;
- A major plot point, is in my opinion, a steal from Star Wars: A New Hope. George Lucas could sue !;
- Remember in the trailers where they show the F-14 Tomcat flying? The way that scene is incorporated into the movie is something else!; and,
- My final point, being former intelligence I can't help it, the SA-3 Goa is a radar guided system, so popping flares won't help you!
