Since it landed full throttle in theaters on May 27 the long-anticipated “Top Gun: Maverick” has raked in a more than $400 million at the domestic box office, making it the highest-grossing movie of the year. Its score on Rotten Tomatoes is “Certified Fresh” at 97 percent on the Tomatometer, and sits at 78 percent on Metacritic.
But a movie reviewer on Letterboxd named Brett was not impressed by this sequel to the 1986 cult classic. In fact, he was so bothered by the action film that he gave it 1/2 a star and wrote more than 700 words about how terrible he found the movie.

SFC Joe S. Davis Jr., MSM, DSL This critic's review is worthless. If the movie was that bad they wouldn't have the box office sales as the highest grossing movie of this year so far.

What does "WOKE" mean to you in this instance? I simply think that he is not a good movie critic but to each his own. This movie is spectacular even though the attack was taken right out of Star Wars "A New Hope" when they attacked the Death Star. Anyway, I totally disagree with the critic on all points, but still don't understand how he earned the title of "Woke". From his review it seems as though he slept through the movie.

CPT Jack Durish - But that is not the definition of the term "Woke," Of course I guess that you can use it anyway you want, but I see so many trying to be hip but! misrepresenting the term of the day.
