I've heard really big talk about how good Top Gun 2 is, but I didn't really care overly much, haven't seen the first one for a long time, but yeah, I got around to it.
There's a tough mission to destroy a place belonging to [Enemy Country Here]. Maverick could do this, but he's old, so let's get him in to teach the new kids how to do it, while showing them up by showing off how great he is. Add in a son of a friend, and you've got stakes and a character arc, and off you go!
And... yeah, okay, this is decent. I was surprised by how quickly we got to the main mission by only halfway through the movie and was "hang on, there's a lot of movie left, what's going to happen?" Mainly it just spins things out. Now, this is pretty plane porn, but we aren't getting in deep here, it's very visual.
Which is all to say... this is very watchable, but not exactly memorable.
