Top Gun : Maverick review

 

Top Gun : Maverick has finally arrived in cinemas after many delays and reshuffles to it's arrival, will it live up to the hype? Tom Cruise returns as Captain Pete ''Maverick'' Mitchell an air force pilot. A lot of time has passed since the original and it ties directly into this movie as Maverick's character goes through many highs and lows throughout. In present day Maverick is a part of a training programme but when that gets grounded and shut down by an Admiral he is tasked with his biggest and most interesting task to date. Teaching. Not just teaching but the teaching of some of the best up and coming pilots the USA has to offer. His training methods are not standard, far from it as he really pushes these pilots to their absolute limits. But what is the mission?? it's almost a death sentence but with Maverick's help it all seems possible right?


A follow up to Top Gun which I wasn't necessarily the biggest fan of was inevitable but who knew it would take this long to finally arrive, with that being said Tom Cruise has delivered yet another action masterclass. Top Gun : Maverick is an assault on the senses from beginning to end. The flight sequences here are simply astounding as they are intense, claustrophobic and thrilling. It's all beautifully shot and will have you feeling like you're along for the ride at some points. 


Top Gun : Maverick is one of the years best movies no doubt and proves once more that nobody does action movies quite like Tom Cruise. He takes risk after risk and it really pays off. That's not to say it's all action here because it isn't, there is some real tender and emotional moments throughout that harken back to the original movie and only further the plot along in a great way. This is easily the best action movie of the year so far and is destined to be one of my favorite movies this year. High intensity at it's finest. Bravo!

Fighting with my Family review

Image
The Knight Family are a unique bunch to say the least. Not only do all the children wrestle but so do the mother and father. And out of that we got Paige. Florence Pugh stars as Saraya Knight a young girl from Norwich England. Her brother Zak Knight played by Jack Lowden has one dream. Of making it to the WWE and he will do anything to make it all possible. At it's core Fighting With My Family is exactly what the title says. A family who fight as we're shown the entire Knight family wrestling in small venues in Norwich. Ricky Knight who is the father wants so much for his kids to succeed and after sending tapes to WWE for them to review and possibly accept both Saraya and Zak for a tryout the family gets it's wish as WWE visits the UK for it's European tour. This is when we meet Vince Vaughn's character who is the guy in charge of recruiting talent and pushing them to see how far they can go and how much they have in them to make it to the top.

Superman & Lois 3x13 : What Kills You Only Makes You Stronger review

Image
                Be warned there will be SP OILERS* inv olved in this review. With that being said let's get into it. Season 3 of Superman and Lois has come to and end in the most devastatingly epic way. The finale opens up with Sam Lane telling Lois and Clark that Lex Luthor is nowhere to be found. Clark adds more to this by saying he can't hear him either but Lois is not convinced after all Lex did literally threaten her at the end of last weeks episode. A meteor shower is planned for the evening right at the center of Smallville town so you just know something is going to go down then and as expected something major does go down but more on that a bit later. As the boys leave the house Lois tells Clark that she is ready to be intimate again and the two fly off to a private secluded area where they can be together for the first time since Lois had her breasts removed due to her cancer. It's a tender moment and one that does feel very important fo...
