It sounded good too with the boom boom turned up!

But who the heck is Penny? I feel cheated out of a backstory.

And that accomplishes what? Penalize the many for one?

She is some kind of love affair he had around three or more years before the setting of Top Gun: Maverick and is the daughter of an admiral. He was sent back then on another mission.

I kinda got that but it felt like there was too much familiarity for the limited backstory we got. Just a nitpick though. I loved the movie!

The original is a classic. This one may soon join it. A good alternative to the overdone and silly super hero movies of the last five years. Still, there are a lot of plot holes in TGM and if you know anything about military aviation, a lot of scenes that just don't make sense. But that is Hollywood.

I love the visuals and they get better every year, but it's the same old tired script.
Good triumphs over evil or the underdog wins at the end.
I don't know what Hollywood could make different, but if you've seen one of these movies you know what the ending is going to be before your second bite of popcorn.
"If it ain't broke, don't fix it."

It is a winning formula at the box office. That is what matters in Hollywood.

Wait until Killers of the Flower Moon comes out in late Autumn 2023. It is a real life story of the triumph of evil which happens a lot in real life.The book of the same name tells the sad story.

Killers of the Flower Moon - Rotten Tomatoes

I enjoyed the movie as well, but that's EXACTLY what I thought when I saw what "the mission" was!!!
