Didn’t critics pan the Top Gun sequel?
on Rotten the percentages are pretty similar for top gun.
I often go look at trivia on old movies when I watch them. Some get really panned when released but later become classics. Citizen kane is one of them, IIRC.
There is a rumor about Mickey Rooney and Elizabeth Taylor as per one of the ex wives of Rooney. Kind of ruined her wide eyed innocent performance for me.
