'Top Gun: Maverick' review: A soaring blockbuster worth watching in the cinema


By AGENCY

Tom Cruise in 'Top Gun: Maverick', which is one summer blockbuster that is definitely worth seeing in a cinema.

Let me be clear: I don't like 1986's Top Gun. I think it's macho-military propaganda with a schmaltzy script and a semi-good beach volleyball scene.

So when I tell you the sequel, Top Gun: Maverick, is worth seeing in a theatre, you know I mean it. Yes, it's still a propagandistic fantasy — a dogfight simulator preloaded with an unnamed enemy somehow possessing better technology than the U.S. military — made from a script melting with cheesy one-liners.
