I really enjoyed it. It's not the greatest movie ever, as some had personally told me, but I did really enjoy it. I thought it was a little bit too sentimental, and Iran will not have fifth generation stealth fighters. That was kind of silly. The Russians can't provide themselves with fifth generation fighters. But I love the last ride of the F 14, and how that might have accurately been portrayed. Kinda.

Ps they should not let people watch this movie and drive sports cars home. Way too dangerous.

I thought this movie was great - better than the first one. It was made in the older style of the first one so no nonsense.

Potential spoiler-

The two things that stuck out to me-

1) The beginning w the stealing of the new hypersonic plane... m8 thats not how it works... u are going to jail and dishonorably discharged. Also... Mach 10 has never been remotely reached in an aircraft. Also... no one is asking a near 60 year old to come back and fly planes.

2) We haven't had aerial dogfighting since the Vietnam war era lol... when the first top gun came out in 1986... it was already essentially over. Current day planes like the F22 are made for long range attack and would never engage in this type of combat... or instead be replaced by a drone... this type of pilot training no longer exists.

Its a movie I know I know... I really liked it but just bringing some real perspective in.

Spoiler spoiler

Alert alert

1 Plus, if you screw up at Mach three or above, you're probably not gonna live through that. There didn't seem to be kind of a podded escape system to get out, like the B 58 or Valkyrie bomber had.

2 not only do the Iranians not use, for the most part, Russian planes, the Russians don't have generation five planes. They can't seem to get the Pak one, or whatever it's called now, into production for themselves.

3 I called the cobra maneuver when it happened.

I go back and forth on whether to see it. I probably will tomorrow since i like the franchise, but reviews are not promising.

Alfisti · 06-09-2022, 12:47 PM

Come on guys, who goes to see that??? They have taken it as far as it will go, further actually, it's dead. You really gonna pay $80 for a couple to see this rubbish??

It's only $50 if you sneak in your own wine.

^Fudge, we just agreed to go Saturday with my wife's sister, at 2:30 in the afternoon. There is rumors of a very good martini bar just up the street. I proposed that we leave at noon to pre-game, and then follow up afterwards for dinner and more martinis.

Sounds like a solid plan even if the movie sucks.

The ex-wife and I used to get brunch, then put a pint of rum in her purse.

Get to the theater, buy a large drink. Go to the bathroom, dump some out, top off with rum. Enjoy movie.

But me and the current lady don't really mess with the movies. In the last, 6-7 years the only things I've gone to the theater for are the Rush and ZZ Top documentaries.

Rum? It sounds like a Murph kinda thing. The best bang for your buck would probably be the 151, right? I did at a hockey game one time, when I was about 20 or 21.

I've had a couple of bad experiences with the 151.

I've just had the one, and i don't drink rum anymore (edit: upon further review I've had 2, never order the "suffering bastard" at the tiki bar). Same with goldSchlager. I will not be sneaking those into the theater.

TXSTYLE · 06-09-2022, 02:20 PM

Fo sure. Heck, I'm surprised ppl pay for anything these days, period.

There are very few movies I'd actually physically go out and pay for to sit in a theatre these days. Very very few so much so I can't remember the last time I went to one. Same goes for tv series and getting all these crazy subscriptions. Naw.

This is super meta.
Is this a movie about making a movie?

Murf the Surf · 06-09-2022, 06:21 PM

So we talked about starting season 6 of Peaky Blinders last night but my wife said lets watch a movie and this popped up on Netflix, I like Liam Neeson movies, Taken, am I right? Anyway, he's 70 now and he has now in the same category for me as Bruce Willis, & Nichols Cage, just cranking out rubbish.
