I did really enjoy Top Gun Maverick, maybe not in the class with some I named from the past, but after all that's been happening in the world around us, was fun to just have a rah rah movie. But this Everything, E, A, A,O, with it's darker nihilism, existentialism, and all kinds of "hidden" racial and philosophical "messages"... I'd rather read another philosophy book, not in a movie, please ! But, looks Iike I am definitely in the minority. I just could not sit through it all, had to go get a Culver's after the weight of that "so called comedy" !
Top Gun Maverick was predictable, but still VERY good.
