Simple storyline well executed. This was one of the first great surround sound releases and the cinemaphography was spectacular. Many stars decent acting. Not all movies need to be artistic, more importantly they need to entertain and Top Gun does this well. Watch it and enjoy.

AVGN's review of the video game based on this waste of time of a movie is more entertaining.This film has some nice shots of the planes and unfortunately the only thing this film has going for it. That's probably where this film gets it cult status and classic status. Unfortunately this film has no story, I would say about every actor in this film is wasted.

I have lost count of the number of times I have watched this movie and it never disappoints when I get to see again.Switch off the brain, sit back and be entertained is the easiest way to describe it. DO NOT overthink it.Tom Cruise, Anthony Edwards, Tom Skerrit, Michael Ironside, Meg Ryan, Val Kilmer, Tim Robbins and the list goes on, the movie is packed to the rafters with good and great actors.It has comedy, drama, romance and action all the way through.If you haven't seen it already and like action packed movies do yourself a favour.

This is one of those movies that slipped through my fingers for many years. I can't tell why, I just missed any opportunity to watch it before. Well, today I had a look at it. Overall I thought it was amusing, it felt very typical and the cheesiness was really over the top. It's not a movie you can take seriously. It would probably have been a blast if I was younger and I understand a lot of people have nostalgia for it. It didn't do much for me unfortunately. It was difficult to see past all the clichés and silly moments.The soundtrack is nice, no faults there. I loved the camera filters they used. The whole movie is highly saturated and it seems like the entire thing was filmed at golden hour. All the flight scenes are pretty spectacular. Must have been difficult to film them. The characters are stereotypical and corny. Every other scene it's like someone's gonna say "Oh, you!" or something similar. The story goes through all the typical beats. You can easily guess what's gonna happen. So, it's not a movie you should go to if you are looking for depth. I've always admired Jerry Bruckheimer as a producer, he is actually my favorite movie producer. I haven't seen much of Tony Scott's work. I enjoy his visual style the most of what I've seen so farIt's an 80's time capsule and it's typical, cheesy and clichéd, I know. But, it was still decent fun. You can turn your brain off and be entertained. So, that's OK. Maybe I expected too much from it.
