It's gotten high scores on all the ideologically poisoned "review" sites and scores ultra high among fans.
Just came back from it just felt like a good, old school action flick with a Hero's journey type of story. It's great, and it does a proper "sendoff" with a character (Rooster) being a strong link between the previous movie and this movie.
This is one of those "turn your brain off and enjoy the ride" sorta deals. It just tries to be a good movie, and it's damn good. Lots of FUCK YEAH AMERICA tones to it as well.
I still want to know who the "enemy" they were fighting are though. Considering the wintery location it must be a reference to Russia, with the Su-57's kinda making an appearance as their opposition.
Regardless it's a great movie, even leftist publications are praising it. Go watch it if you have time.
looking at imdb, the new pilots: 5/12 white men, 2 black men, 1 Latino man that could pass as half black , one Latina woman, 1 Asian woman, 2 Asian men, i didn't mention the Asians because they disappeared after their 3 lines in the bar scene, but when they all walked in, one can't help but think hey diversity bingo
True, but they failed lol
