Patriotism sells my friends. Lefties in Hollywood know it. Tom Cruise and the Henry Fonda know how to fake it.
pre-views look good.
Not gonna go see it though.
Wife wants to see it so yeap, shut up and take my money! 💰🇺🇸💰
After all I have read about Tom Cruise and his religious cult, I quit seeing any of his movies some years ago.
Saw this movie last night. Tremendous. A great old fashioned, entertaining movie without agenda.
I am told that it is very gay friendly
pre-views look good.
Not gonna go see it though.
If my husband was still alive he would want to see it and I would go with him but on my own I will give it a pass.
Nobody does Tom Cruise movies like Tom Cruise does.
No woke crud?
FWIW, this is the only flick I want to see in a theater this summer. Probably this year. I think it has to be seen on a big screen to really appreciate it.
tom cruise sitting in a jet cockpit simulator on some los angeles back lot,
making fake intense battle faces, surrounded by fake computer-generated
aerial warfare, sickens and disgusts me.
I would encourage anyone to generously donate to their favorite charity
before enriching the hollywood chislers.
Thanks for the review.
This is the way.
No woke stuff whatsoever. The only thing different is that some of the pilots are female, but that is a reflection of reality. The movie was both action and a touching movie. A well written and coherent story that only strayed into a bit of “too strained to believe” once. Still, entertaining and the theatre gave it a standing ovation.
Thanks
You buy a ticket to this you support Scientology. You support destroying families again and again and again with giveing their show pony great success and plenty of money to dump back into that evil money cult.
Go to an airshow, go take a flying lesson, there’s a concept.
DO NOT SEE THIS MOVIE!!!!
Of course everyone will though because...... nobody cares if they are entertained.
Navy loves the two hour recruitment ad, they don’t mind either.

Except they made this movie in actual jet fighters in flight and underwent training to do so. It is realistic and greatly differs from the original in that regard.
It was great. We went with a large group of friends from church, 2 former Navy pilots, 1 former Air Force top gun pilot, one former Marine pilot who was in space program, all loved it. No woke garbage. Everything is merit based(typical push pull between guys who “do” vs. top brass, but more about budgets, not stupid woke idiocy). It’s about the planes, testing human limits and the effects of things that happened in the first movie on the next generation.
Fun, clean, exciting effects, good tie in to the original movie, brings back the patriotic feelings of first movie during the Reagan years. Music was great, good tie in/reflection of first movie (except last song which was stupid and didn’t fit very well, all else was great). Great to go to a good movie, enjoy it, not feel “slimed” by Hollywood wokeism and trash. Everyone came out smiling, in good mood, sharing stories of their years as pilots and discussing technicalities of the movie and what could or could not actually be achieved in real life by those fighter jets. Needs to be seen in theater for full effect (we rarely go to movies because nothing worth watching and dont like supporting Hollywood, but made exception for this one since it is patriotic and makes you proud of our military!). Will Hollywood get a clue about what people want to see? I doubt it.
