Top Gun: Maverick Is Almost Perfect, According To Rotten Tomatoes
As reported by Deadline, Rotten Tomatoes, the aggregator of critical and public reviews, has named Top Gun: Maverick the best movie of 2022.
This appointment stems from the near-perfect ratings the film has received from both critics and the general audience. Critics give it a 96% rating, while the public raises the note to 99%.
Naturally, winning this nomination does not imply that Top Gun: Maverick is a favorite at the Oscars, far from it. The Academy has very different criteria when it comes to awarding the film that will record its name in the firmament of the Mecca of Cinema forever.
In any case, the return of Tom Cruise as the irreverent pilot of combat, together with the fantastic work of the Department and the Top Gun: Maverick team, is getting its just rewards, both in succulent earnings and critical and public acclaim.
