While the aerial combat scenes are undeniably thrilling and visually spectacular, the plot feels a bit formulaic and at times predictable. The camaraderie among the pilots provides some emotional weight, but it occasionally feels overshadowed by the action. The performances are solid, but the script lacks the depth needed to fully engage the audience. There are moments that shine, but they often get lost amid the chaos of the action sequences. If you’re a fan of military dramas and don’t mind a few clichés, Fighter might still be worth a watch. Just don’t expect it to break new ground in storytelling. Show less
