I really tried to like Top Gun: Maverick but I couldn't get by some of its premises.
1) For the success of the mission they were relying on a "miracle" instead accurate weapons systems.
2) That rules of engagement are just annoying bureaucracy to be side-stepped.
3) The 'enemy' wasn't named and we didn't learn anything about them and the movie wanted me to take it on faith that we should be automatically viewing the USA, who were going to bomb them, as the good guys when history says not necessarily.
