Bah, in any case, the hype was insane and the Cinematography blew everything away.
And now we're watching Terminator 2 tonight.

Top Gun 2.

That movie was, simple, derivative, predictable, stupid and so much goddamned fun it was amazing.

I'm not a huge 'Top Gun' aficionado and I generally detest Tom Cruise, but Top Gun 2 is arguably the most fun I've had as far a movie experience in so long.

Its not 'haut-couture' filmmaking, but holy crap was that movie an absolute blast.

I've walked out of theaters after movies and thought: "That was really good, I enjoyed that."

But I dont think I've ever left a movie with a smile on my face that big. That movie was 'big, dumb fun.'

The movie told you what it was going to be, it delivered on that promise and more, what else can you ask for?
