While i get the need of many fans to see a sequel after so many years 37 years are too long and they should do this sequel many many years before. If this was done years before it could succeed. Now it's not.

Tom is nearly 60 years old now......just look at iceman......look at those actors in 1985....look at them now........ok u get nostalgic with a few scenes between them.....the action scenes were great.....but the movie fails in the most important things. Where is the magic of the 1985 film ? There is no kelly here.......the love interest is boring......how about the great 1985 soundtrack and i'm talking about the actual songs. Danger zone and take my breath away are legend songs. We have zero such songs in the sequel. The 80s magic is gone for good. Now i'm not saying the sequel is bad. It's just indefferent. Forgettable if u take out the action scenes. U just can't bring back the 80s magic. They stalled the sequel for too long. This should have been made like.....at least 20 years before with kelly involved. This could be a better sequel with a much better soundtrack.

Anyhow.......the movie is worth for a watch and that's it. I prefer the 1985 film way more than this follow up and i grew up in the 80s so that figures.

As for those reviewers who insult the 1985 film by saying this sequel is way better they must have watched a differenr movie.
