Top Gun: Maverick (2022)
Just a Killer, in every way!!
I got home from the theater about 15 minutes ago, had to catch my breath before sitting down to do this review.
I didn't think any movie could possibly match the hype that was surrounding Top Gun: Maverick, but was I ever wrong!!
I'm a 75 year old Veteran, and have been a huge movie fan for about 60 of those years, and I think that this might be the single best film I have ever watched.
I don't want to give away any spoilers, because anyone reading this needs to get themselves to a theater (preferably an IMAX one) at their earliest opportunity and get ready to be transported away from the hum-drum of everyday life, and experience what it feels like to pull 8 g's in a modern jet fighter aircraft.
Every facet of this movie, the acting, the action, the drama, & the musical score all knocked it out of the park.
Go see this movie!!!!!!!!!
We Were Soldiers (2002)
Great Viet-Nam War Movie
"We Were Soldiers" did two really terrific things that are almost never included in war movies: First they showed the planning and action from the perspectives of both sides in the battle. Second they showed the real-time effects on the wives and families at home. I served in the USAF from 1964 to 1967, right when this took place, and I can attest to it's authenticity. Best Viet-Nam war movie of all time, by a huge margin!
Jurassic City (2015)
Truly Awful!!!
I don't usually bother to write an IMDb review for movies that I dislike, but this horrible film was so bad that I felt compelled to issue a warning to any unsuspecting viewer out here who might stumble upon it by mistake. This may very well have been the worst movie I have ever seen. Everything about it stank: Sleazy CGI, wooden acting, no plot, terrible direction, a poor soundtrack, the list goes on and on. Save your money and avoid this like the plague. The only reason I gave it a score of 1 is that IMDb doesn't have a zero available.
