Top Gun

"I've reviewed this before. I love Anthony Edwards and Val Kilmer. Tom Cruise is great as Maverick. I saw this in the theater with one of my cousins. The soundtrack is stellar. Prime 80's fare. Recommended. "

"It's a Tom Cruise movie with a ton of 80's cheese. I'm not a huge fan, but I can see why it was a cultural touchstone. "

"REWATCH: I do love this movie, but I forgot how melodramatic the acting is at times in it. Cruise, Edwards, Ryan, and Kilmer are the only sincere performances in this film; the rest feel very soap opera-esque. Don’t get me wrong. The other performances aren’t bad, they just aren’t believable. Something also unbelievable is Charlie and Maverick’s romance. They have the weirdest chemistry I’ve ever seen in a movie. Sometimes it’s there, sometimes it’s not. It didn’t help that their relationship went zero to hundred in a millisecond. One minute they’re flirting the next they’re head over heels in love??? There was no build up! Plus, their big kiss in the movie did them no favors. It looked like they were trying to eat each other’s faces. I know it doesn’t sound like it, but I do really love this movie. It’s so quotable, the action sequences are intense, and I always get choked up when I think about Goose."

"I love most of Tom cruises movies and this is at the top of the list. Great "

"Just watched this for the first time since being an adult. And this film still holds up pretty well. This has that good 80’s cheese all over it. The Top Gun theme song “Take My Breath Away” and “Danger Zone” is played so many times through the film but their such great songs it never gets old. I only saw this when I was a child and it use to come on HBO cable all the time.For a 1986 film the special effects are still fairly good. I don’t think I’ve seen Val Kilmer in a film in such a long time but him and Tom Cruise play well off each other. Didn’t realize how old Top Gun was but it’s a 80’s classic."

"I wouldn’t say it’s bad, just boring and a little cringy. Mostly I think because the first time I ever saw it was in 2022. It’s definitely one of those movies that you needed to see in the 80s or 90s to really appreciate today. "

"Talk to me, Goose!"

"Call me hater but not my cup of tea I like the bollywood version more fighter "

"It’s embarrassing that I’m just watching this for the first time, especially since my husband is in the Navy but sweet Jesus that’s a good movie! Also-I love where they filmed it so even cooler. Now I can watch the new one."

"I just watched this for the first time. So much 80s cheese! Not really my cup of tea. 🤷🏻‍♀️ "
