The sequel was bad, sorry but the silent moments of reflection and a disconnected appearance of Connelly was too much. No backstory on new pilots , and I was hoping the soundtrack would save it, no such luck. An overhyped video game of a movie! Wayyy overrated. Even a few more flashbacks of Cruise being a Top Gun instructor would have helped. And a bar owner with a Porsche hilarious! When film depends on CG and not good dialogue, your done. Even the scenes on the carrier in the original were more interesting. I'm a WW2 historian so maybe I'm jaded. Luckily I watched this on a free trial. Not enough heart!
