BV’s TG2 review.

Saw the movie last night.

It was cheesy, corny, far-fetched, unrealistic and the most American movie I have ever seen.

I loved every second of it.

It is exactly what true TG fans would have wanted and anyone who had either not seen the original or is not a TG geek should love it in equal measure.

For me it also had the personal connection in that I first saw TG as 12 year old (on a dodgy VHS copy!) and decided then and there that I wanted to be a fighter pilot.

33 years later, after 4000 hours flying her Majesty’s RR Adour equipped wonder machines I finally see the sequel just as I am about to hang up my spurs and move on to pastures new.

Serendipity as my wife put it.
