The film's intensity mirrors the competitive and wild personalities of the pilots themselves. In this arena, the casting is on-target.

... "Top Gun" is terribly monotonous.

The movie, in short, hits its emotional marks, but it does so with such insistence that it feels less like real life than an object lesson in the architecture of the blockbuster.

There are elements that hold up - especially Cruise's blinding charisma. The aerial scenes are still thrilling, and perfectly suited to a giant screen. Everything else? Well, that depends on how nostalgic you're feeling.

The aerial sequences in Top Gun are as thrilling -- while remaining coherent -- as any ever put on film.
February 6, 2013 | Rating: 3/4 | Full Review… -
Whether you love Top Gun or hate it -- or hate yourself for loving it -- the fact is that when it became the top-grossing film of 1986, Hollywood in its infinite wisdom took all of the worst lessons from its success and overlooked what made it so... fun.

Nov 27, 2015"Top Gun" is an amazing 1980's drama/action film. "Top Gun" has amazing acting from "Tom Cruise" and "Kelly McGillis". The plot to "Top Gun" is great and has great plot points. The special effects in this movie are incredible for a 1980's film. There are no action sequences that look like the back of a green screen. The soundtrack to "Top Gun" is great, it makes every scene better and better. I will recommend you watch "Top Gun" as it is a awesome action/drama. So I give "Top Gun" a 8/10.Steve G Super Reviewer

Jul 03, 2013One can appreciate the film for being iconic, yet it is frustratingly bland and corny. Though Top Gun is full of action, nothing really happens, and the charming romance that inspires the classic hit "Take My Breath Away" becomes a vague, second-thought.Matthew Samuel M Super Reviewer

Apr 29, 2013Top Gun is a riveting action film from director Tony Scott. The story follows a hot shot Navy pilot who's sent to an elite fighter school to learn aerial combat tactics. Starring Tom Cruise, Kelly McGillis, Val Kilmer, and Michael Ironside, the cast is pretty good. But the real stars of the film are the F-14 fighter jets, and Scott does an excellent job at capturing the intensity and excitement of the aerial maneuvers. The soundtrack is also especially well-done, and features such hit songs as "Danger Zone" and "Take My Breath Away." Adrenaline packed and incredible entertaining, Top Gun has become an iconic '80s action film.Dann M Super Reviewer
