Almost every piece of Marvel drek was hitting $1bn before COVID. Audiences have been slow to return to theaters and movie grosses have been far from pre/early 2020 levels.How much of this is because for the most part there hasn't been any good movies coming to theaters for years? I've had very little desire to see anything in a theater in a long time and have probably seen at most two movies in the theater in the past two years. There have been tons of people just waiting for an excuse to see something good in the theater and it's likely this movie just happened to hit the sweet spot for the time.
I'm not putting the movie down and I haven't seen it. From just about everything I've seen it seems to be a movie which banks on nostalgia but does it right and doesn't hit you over the head with outrage or message of the week. It's simply a movie for the sake of making a movie.
Proof that if the rest of hollywoo would stop screwing around they could basically print money. If only they focused their efforts on entertaining, rather than preaching.
I think this is a disservice to the movie. While some of it might 'bank on nostalgia,' it's clearly evident that time, care, and outstanding visuals have created one of the most memorable films I've seen in years. When watching, you can easily see the elevated craft of film on full display. They created an excellent story, built on it with amazing practical effects, and went the extra mile to make it punch home. The original Top Gun isn't as good a movie.I'm not putting the movie down and I haven't seen it.

I sure hope not. Sadly, I think it could only go downhill from this one. I don't know how you could make it better.This pretty much guarantees another sequel or maybe a spinoff with Rooster and the other pilots.
