Warning, this article contains spoilers. 

There is much to laud about Top Gun: Maverick. Full disclosure, I am a bit of an aviation fanatic: the 1986 original is up there as one of my favourite films of all time. But coming nearly 40 years after Pete ‘Maverick’ Mitchell first took to the skies, this tour de force of blockbusting mastery offers more than just groundbreaking cinematography and the boyish wonder inspired by the mighty US Navy’s fighter jets.
