WOW! A Mach 10 out of 10!! After seeing this .... "Where am I?" - "Earth" is very apt when you eventually come back down! A film you can only go and see yourself to make your own mind up, as there will always be a mixed take on any movie like this. But from my humble perspective ....TOP FUN!
Yes, there will be some who pick out some holes in the events, an element of predictability and the usual cliches ....but actually to use an American cliche - this film is still AWESOME!
At an easy to watch 12A, it makes it a great family film if you want to get to spend time with your teenagers, that will even get everyone talking afterwards. Even younger kids will absolutely love it ....and will dream about being a fighter pilot for years to come! Obviously, also get ready for the calls (not just from the youngsters!) for a decent cool pair of shades this summer, but like with the original, that fashion will be back and at least there will be good wear from them ....just like this film (as with its predecessor) will also wear well, stay iconic and, again, will be talked about for years to come too.
Look past some of the very minor shortcomings and the expected, unsurprising jingoism and just go and enjoy "the ride"! Guaranteed smiles, laugh out louds and possible tears but just as important breathtaking action, action and action!
Easily worth the price of the cinema ticket, even for the family, as it will be a classic memory for you all ....it just depends on how many times you go because you WILL be tempted to go again! And if you can see it at an IMAX or 4DX it's definitely one of the few films that's worth it!
So if you're into your blockbusters, this is definitely a genuine one that you can buckle up and enjoy. "Don't think - just do!" ....and you won't regret it!!!
