With the way Hollyweird is so doped up, they have lost all creativity in bringing out new movies, just rehash old movies thinking they have something new. There are so many book out there that can be made into movies, but they just dont seem able to sit down and read.Fox has been promoting Top Gun 2 for the last few days, well went to see it over the weekend and I thought it was okay. Basically it's the same as the 1st movie with Cruise and a new supporting cast. Miles Teller plays Goose's son all grown up, okay that's fine, but he wears the same cheesy mustache as his dad from the original.
I just don't get all the hype.
And it pissed off China also....Top Gun Maverick is remarkable because it isn't woke.
I am looking forward to seeing this decades awaited sequel!

It was filmed at NAS Lamoore, as i was booked at the penthouse of the Tachi Palace Hotel and Casino, and got kicked down to the 5th floor with 100 dollars of refunds and a return trip, because Tom Cruises production ended up taking the whole top floor. Fuck Top Gun, i wont go see the movie and i am not going back ever to the Tachi hotel.We saw it the other night.
The biggest issue I had wasn't with the movie, but with the theater. The volume was very low. I suffer from a bit of hearing loss, but even my brother had a difficult time making out what was being said on screen.
The movie itself? I have to say I was mildly disappointed. Don't get me wrong, it was a good movie. I just think I expected to see more flying/action scenes. Instead, they seem to have spent a great deal of time on the interpersonal relationships between characters. The way they hyped the movbie with extended trailers and all, and showed all of the technology they were using to, and I'll quote Jerry Bruckheimer here, "show the viewer what it's really like to be a Top Gun pilot", I really thought there'd be more flying scenes.
Jennifer Connolly is hot as Hell as Penny Benjamin (who got only a passing mention in the original "Top Gun"), and Miles Teller does a good job as Rooster, Goose Bradshaw's son. Glen Powell, who plays Hangman, tries far too hard to be the reincarnation of Val Kilmer's Iceman. Val Kilmer, despite his real life health challenges, is written into the script rather deftly. He even speaks in the movie which, if you know anything about Val Kilmer, you know that's not easy for him to do these days.
The Navy's Fighter Weapons School (Top Gun) used to be located at NAS Miramar in San Diego. In 1996 it was moved to NAS Fallon (Nevada). For whatever reason, the producers decided that it needed to be at NAS North Island for the movie. I used to be stationed at North Island. There aren't the facilities to put Top Gun there. This isn't something the general public would know, though, so I can give them a pass on that.
The beach football scene takes place on Coronado Island (which is where NAS North Island is). You can see Point Loma in the background and you know it's San Diego. The funeral scene was filmed at Fort Rosecrans National Cemetery, which sits atop Point Loma. No other National Cemetery looks like that, so you know it's San Diego. The sailing scene with Maverick and Penny, though, looks like it was filmed in the straits of Juan de Fuca as opposed to the waters off of San Diego. It was laughable.
All in all I would give the movie a 7.5 out of 10. I'm going to see it again in a theater which has a proper volume and see if my opinion changes. I've never had a problem hearing dialog in a theater before, so I'll give this another shot...
My son is in the Navy at that station NAS Lamoore, i just happened to be visiting him when my penthouse experience was canceled by Tom Cruise.Well, I know they did a lot of shooting in San Diego. Can't say I saw much of anything that resembled NAS North Island, though...

And a return visit on them. Why, it cost me over 3 thousand dollars to fly me and my significant other out there, and what is them from doing the same thing again. No thanks.That sucks. They'd have been compensating me a lot more than a hundred bucks...

It is owned by the local Indians. It was the come again, some other time(for free) that they thought was a good deal....Did they also refund back the price difference of the rooms?
I'd have ended up on the news...
Maybe if they give you the penthouse...It is owned by the local Indians. It was the come again, some other time(for free) that they thought was a good deal....
So they give me the penthouse, and i have to pay another 3,000 dollars of air fare, get to the hotel and find out another production crew has bought the top floor again, thus i get moved down the 5th floor....again.Maybe if they give you the penthouse...
