Tom Cruise honored, Michael Bay snubbed at 38th Annual Razzie Awards

By
38TH Razzie Award Winners!

The Golden Raspberry Awards, the 38th annual gala honoring the worst performances in movies in 2017, were announced Saturday night. The Emoji Movie took home the Worst Picture award, the first animated film to achieve that dubious distinction. The movie also took home statues for Worst Screenplay, Worst Director, and Worst Screen Combo, nebulously given to “any two obnoxious emojis” from the film.

Top Gun: Maverick review: Tom Cruise’s superior sequel
Tom Cruise looking stern in Top Gun: Maverick.

Faced with the cockiest flyboy in the history of naval aviation, Rear Adm. Chester "Hammer" Cain (Ed Harris) does not mince words. ā€œYour kind is headed for extinction,ā€ he tells the one and only Pete "Maverick" Mitchell. The admiral is talking about the obsolescence of fighter pilots in an age when bombs are dropped remotely from a strip mall outside Las Vegas. But heā€™s also speaking, in a metatextual manner, about the legend playing this legend: Hollywoodā€™s aging but ageless golden boy Tom Cruise, pushing 60 but still climbing into cockpitsĀ  at a time when his ā€œkindā€ ā€” the movie star whoā€™s a draw no matter the movie ā€” has indeed been added to the endangered species list.

Those kind of winks are common in so-called legacy sequels, a very self-conscious strain of modern franchise continuation. Yet thereā€™s scarcely a hint of irony in Top Gun: Maverick, a decades-later follow-up to one of the most anomalous hits of the 1980s. Early in the film, Cruise whips a tarp off that old motorcycle, the one he rode around back in ā€™86, and the moment is so glowingly awestruck, you half expect it to be accompanied by a 21-gun salute. This is a movie deeply in love with its title character, and with the movie star reprising that role, and maybe even with the fantasy of America itā€™s reviving.
