Another comment by Rotten Tomatoes’ Cameron stated, “Top Gun’s long-awaited, stupidly-doubted sequel represents a lost era of mainstream, shameless filmmaking: ultimately IP-driven, but huge-hearted, stand-alone bombast capable of rousing any crowd without serialized tidbits, teases, and cameos, not to mention packing some of the most impressive, dynamic action the big screen has ever seen.”
