Like my other favorite 1980s movie Wall Street, it took over 30 years for a sequel to this iconic feature. Unlike the Wall Street sequel, Money Never Sleeps, this one will not disappoint.
Even with a plot with holes big enough to fly an F-14 through, the movie does have a way of grabbing you. It has edge of the seat do or die flying that left me gasping.
Goose's son, who was a toddler in the original, is, of course, now a fighter pilot. The movie jibes into Val Kilmer's struggle with cancer as Iceman, Maverick's Top Gun rival is seen as an ailing admiral. Penny Benjamin, mentioned in the original in passing as a Maverick love conquest, emerges as a character.
I would recommend this picture for all fans of summer "popcorn" movies.
Those movies without plot holes are the real boring ones.
