The film featured high-octane motion blended with melancholy themes as Maverick navigates life residing with the guilt of Goose’s loss of life and Iceman’s withering state.

The 11-year sequel shockingly introduced me in from the beginning. The introduction of the principle villain and his appearances all through all the film left me with chills in pleasure.
