You have not even finished watching the movie and have already rated it? Hian!

I said so far.
An hour of a movie is enough for me to start understanding how my rating should be.

it is the watchmen tv show that showed the tulsa massacre, something white america would rather pretend did not happen - and something all the aspiring house niggers who are hopping on the all lives matter train need to see to understand just where black america is coming from and how much still needs to be done

Well said. That Tulsa massacre as well as it's depiction again in Lovecraft Country is prime TV. Shows like that is probably why White boys will lobby for shows like that be made miniseries and reduce focus on them, especially when it's coming from HBO.

Top Gun: Maverick

From the first one hour I've watched last night, so far it's really good. Great but I ain't seeing the hype Hollywood critics and audience were showering it. Around a 7.5 rating for me so far. And I know I might not like the final 1hr when the dogfights begin. undecided

At least they've got their fighter classes right and theoretically how to embark on the mission. Na D_day execution remain.

The last 30 minutes is the best part of the film.
It pushed a 7/10 movie to a 10/10.

Nothing is stopping the rating to go up. Or down. grin Depends how the next scenes pan out and how it connects to the initial set up.

Why I'm saying I might dislike it is cos I've seen reviews of people who understands how military aviation works and it's a 360° turn from what even the outcome the protagonist has been saying.
I don't think I can condone any rubbish of an F-16 or F-18 beating a fifth generation fighter in any dogfight in this day.

I like to believe that in an alternate world, the Tulsa genocide never happened.
Tulsa being the black wallstreet, becomes one of the financial hubs of american economy,
Helps the african-american to better their lives and live comparably influential lives like the jews, and also wield considerable influence in American economy and politics.

Sorry to inform you and GloriousGbola, but there are Uncle Toms who deny the Tulsa Massacre. I can't believe that there are people so foolish.

Oh yes, I look forward to watching the unhinged contents these nutters upload on their youtube channels,
Their delusions of grandeur is a stuff of comedy. grin
Some of these people are either sick in the head or world class trolls..
There are the flat earthers...
The Qanon...
The Holocaust deniers....
You name it....
There's one called Tila Tequila, a Vietnamese-american media personality, who genuinely believes she's a white supremacist.
Her channel is a plethora of batshit contents.

I love these nutters, they make me laugh. grin grin

Top Gun: Maverick...... 6/10

Tom Cruise kills the role as Maverick, the cast did great, premium VFX and stunts, good story and nice musical score.
Only to be let down by the final 20 minutes.

There is no way a high security uranium enrichment plant hidden in a bunker would be penetrated that easily. With terrain following jets like the French Rafaele, it would be stupid for such facility not to have low tracking radars. Low ceiling/Short range missiles would also be employed. This is where Pantsir S1&2 works best. When you now bring in SAMs like S-400, ALL THE PILOTS ARE DIEING without even using the jets.

See how convenient it was for the tomahawk cruise missiles to land on the airfield without a single interception. oh wow! I'm just gonna believe that. So no radar or satellite took that with the numerous amount of cruise missiles heading their way? cheesy
Imagine covering your nuclear facility with several missiles and planes without protecting your protection (the fighters on ground).

How come the SU-57s despite knowing of the bombing of the base runway still took their sweet time before intercepting the Yankees. Jets that are way faster, way better manoeuvrability it's not even close, yet they allowed the yanks hit their target without even reaching there. Couldn't even catch up to them on their way out. Oh please.

What I also find funny is how an F-14 finds it easy to beat a fifth generation fighter's highly advanced air-to-air missiles with just chaffe. The fvvk!! They want us to think latest top of the range missiles finds it difficult to differentiate between a decoy and the actual target.


Lol, very convenient for an F-18 sneaking up on a fifth generation fighter, an SU-57 at that. There's nowhere in this life that a 4th gen aircraft is sneaking up on 5th gen aircraft without it being spotted. Miles away!!
Shey the numerous radars and sensors surrounding the aircraft from top, bottom, nose to tail na joke to Una.

How in the world would an F-14 Tomcat win a dogfight between Sukhois? Not one but two!! in the same place.
American audience must be very dumb sipping this shït hook line sinker. Anyway it's a movie designed to make American audience feel they are top of world aviation and everyone else is backwards.

Even Chinese pilots that westerners love to talk down their planes won't be caught flat footed with those tactics pulled there.
So na dey tell me say USA brought their top pilots 'top Gun' to this fight and Russia brought rookie pilots to fly their most advanced fighters. Gimme a break. Without protection for these advanced and highly expensive crafts.
There's no nonsense anyone can tell me about "It's NoT tHE plAnE, it'S tHe piLOT", the only jets slightly capable of keeping up with fifth gen aircrafts like the SU-57, F-22 are probably SU-35, F-15 Eagle and Rafaele. Still, THEY'RE AT A DISADVANTAGE!! Even the most decent pilot would never fail in a Fifth generation fighter.

If missions like this were possible, Israel would have bombed all the fvvking uranium enrichment plants Iran has by now. One wonders why Israel is also in the forefront of acquiring 5th gen fighters like F-35 for stealth missions like this.

Overall it's a nice movie but since it's marketed as a military action movie— a movie which Tom Cruise had to learn a million and one stunt moves as a certified fighter pilot— I'm definitely holding it to its standards. Therefore Maverick doesn't cut it. There's nothing anyone can tell me about this travesty.

This is very enjoyable for anyone just watching it for the action and entertainment. But if you really understand how military aviation works this movie is basically a loud mouthed blockbuster nuisance!
This is merely a western propaganda movie.

I like that you've your friend's back, that's good, I admire loyalty.
However, be careful how you pick your battles.
Abduleez has always been a russian guy, and generally anti US.
Just type Russia next to his name in Nairaland search box and see for yourself.

Instead of being baffled by what I said, look inwards and ask yourself why you can't separate fiction from reality.
When you write a thesis just because you can't stand the notion that a dated Jet could best a next generation fighter in a hollywood movie, then you know you have issues.

These folks no dey like give themselves Brain when it comes to "almighty Amuhrica Military".

It's that easy na en Israel and US dey protest to Russia not to give Iran and Syria S400 defence missile systems. Or why Russia will go to war if US tries to put Patriot missiles in Ukraine and the likes.

Using their analogy, it basically means an F-14 Tomcat, a third gen aircraft is capable of defeating an F-22 Raptor (a 5th gen aircraft), if it is piloted by the best of the best. cheesy
Heck, Nigeria's JF-17s have a fighting chance. grin

I guess what abduleez1 is saying is we are past the 80s when a single us commando could take out entire platoons of Russian or vietcong soldiers.


Or when a 17 year old could steal an f15 and fly to a hostile Arab nation, take out their air support and single handedly rescue his pow dad (iron Eagle)


The 2000s and beyond featured much more grounded military movies and did not pretend that us enemies had an incompetent and incapable military

That said its an American movie and a pro military one, so this is what we should expect. The hero kicking arse and flying off into the sunset

Exactly, it's a hollywood military movie, and as a rule will always favour america.
Russia and China have their own propaganda movies and I enjoy each and every one.
Unlike some people, when I watch movies, I watch them to be entertained.

Why didn't you separate fiction from reality when talking about how the Tulsa massacre was portrayed on film?
