The first half of the film I actually found a bit grating/boring with so much nostalgia and setting up the premise. Every single line from every single character is delivered in an arch kind of way, with a smirk. However, the last half is heart-racingly good! The aerial dogfights and action sequences are terrific and there's a suitably triumphant and emotional ending. It's a bit silly and predictable, but ticks every box for great escapism. I defy anyone not to enjoy!
