    Finally, a movie you can take your kids to enjoy. If you haven't seen it be prepared for one of the best cinematography experiences you will find in years.

    Entertainment.ie's Brian Lloyd's 4-star review stated Top Gun: Maverick "exceeds with flying colours" and "exists in a world that is all of its own making.

    Coupled with the the score of the movie this one makes you proud to be an American. Its a real Red, White, and Blue treat for those who love and support our military and enjoy US aviation, you are in for treat.

    I have seen it twice and its am amazing piece of work from start to finish.

    But don't worry. You can always find one media group (NBC) who has to poke at it.

    Top Gun: Maverick' is a Hollywood war propaganda movie without a war
    https://www.nbcnews.com/think/opini...-hollywood-war-propaganda-movie-war-rcna30773

    But when you read the article and they make claims like this

    Maverick,” with its ridiculous fake adversary, its claims of overwhelming military victories during peacetime, and its ludicrous secrecy, has none of this. It’s a copy of a copy; a blurry Xerox of a historic hero.

    Or this

    At one point in “Maverick,” Hangman (Glen Powell) is said to be the only pilot with four shoot downs

    Well, You just have to laugh. lol
    Shoot downs? :roflol:

    When Hollywood is accused of making 'conservative' propaganda movies, we're pretty much at the end of civilization. :truce:

    Once Hollywood figures out that there is profit to be made by NOT pushing CRT/BLM propaganda, the gold rush will begin. Given the enormous amounts of money that this movie is raking in, we can expect a sea change in movie making. Perhaps the season of garbage woke films is coming to an end.

    Even Netflix addressed their woke employees here lately. Get over yourself or leave.
    There are a lot of woke ideas hitting the dirt these days. Its good to see.
    Hats off to Paramount. They knocked this one out of the park.
    Its good to celebrate people who dawn the uniform in the service of others instead of defunding and labeling them.

    You thought the top gun pilots were portrayed in the movie as being gay? This is what you came away with?
    Kind of explains a lot

    Does this help
    Definition of homoerotic
    : of, relating to, or involving sexual activity between people of the same sex specifically :
    marked by, revealing, or portraying sexual desire between people of the same sex

    Psst...... not everything in the world is about the kinks of the LGBTQIA22ZER crowd. But hey, if that is what gets you to attend a movie that portrays healthy male masculinity, more power to you. On a side note: isn't it funny that even gay men find "toxic masculinity" sexually attractive?

    Dudes I just rewatched the scene. They’re not just portraying “healthy masculinity”. They’re really gay. Like the way the sweat glistens off their bodies, the handshakes after every serve, the music going along with it. It’s just a really gay scene.

    I think this is legendary director Quentin Tarantino talking about how gay Top Gun is.

    Maybe but we can only hope.

    Hollywood has had more than one lesson over the years about this but they just refuse to listen.

    How tom Cruise got away with this is something of a curious mystery. Maybe the Hollywood elite simply thought he this movie would crash and burn.

    This movie is a massive bitch slap in the face of virtually everything Hollywood does now. He used real cameras rather than massive CGI and proved that such filming works better. He had a little nostalgia for the original but not much. He had some great script and story writers.

    Most of all he ignored the alphabet people and their need to have " the message " in every movie. The Protaganist is a cis white male who is unashamedly masculine. He is also a hero. Hollywood hates such crap now every protaganist has to be as evil as the antagonist. Heroes who are basically good are no longer allowed and the protaganist always has to be an alphabet person. Any cis white hero has to be deconstructed and ruined ( star wars, star trek , James bond , Indiana Jones, marvel super heroes, ghostbusters etc etc etc,)

    There is also a sense of old fashioned America triumphs patriotism in this movie which the hollywood elitist shits hate and stopped doing years ago. What they are in denial of is that such patriotic undertones WORKS as a money maker.

    Whethr he wanted to piss off the establishment or just wanted to make a good movie Cruise stuck a massive middle finger in the face of the woke crowd with this film. Im suere he does not care as wahtever his motive was he succeeded. If they can get away with it or think they can get away with it they will attack and smear him in any way they can.

    He might be too big for that like Clint eastwood is. They may simply ignore him and hope he fails at his next project while despertely wishing he would just die already the way they do Clint.

    That's an interesting 'take' from a Hollywood director even if it's Tarantino.

    Proves my point. What did they do with him? Destroyed his legacy and replaced him with various minority checkbox characters to include a woman.

    BTW Tarantino is a legendary has been who is part of the problem. His only talent is breaking taboos. He makes entire films for no reason except to stroke his foot fetish and suck on a woman's toes.
