yeah i did not care for this film.
i do not care for the first film and a big reason as to why is the characters and story.
the first film was pretty fun, i liked val kilmer and tom cruise but other then that its kinda just oke.
maverick is that but without kilmer(even tho he's in 1 scene)
i do not really care for the new pilots, glen powel is a weaker version of val kilmer's character in the first film....without any arc.
miles teller feels like a less experienced young maverick.....but without good arc.
this is all to say, it has to many characters and all of those characters aren't compelling.
the cinematography is pretty good tho...ig.

How It Feels
Read from this film's synopsis, keywords and credits, and used to work out what it sits beside.
A thunderously enjoyable aerial spectacle that balances legacy and mortality with genuine warmth between its characters. It's a film about honoring the past while learning to let go, wrapped in some of the most viscerally thrilling jet sequences ever filmed.

Reviews
I've never seen the original, so I was expecting to not like this very much. They did a good job making this accessible to those in that camp with me. It's a fun action movie with a likeable young cast, along with Tom Cruise doing his Tom Cruise thing.
