I love this movie so much

Fresh and Exciting

I like movies that are aware of what they are selling... without [any] greater aspirations than to make people laugh and that's it.

While it doesn't offer any answers, it both thrills and makes you think.

What is lost in meager story telling is made up in action and F-14's.

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.

An excellent movie. This movie is so fun and has a great story. This is easily one of my favourite movies ever, and I've watched it more times than I can remember. Even after the so very many times I have watched Top Gun, it has never gotten old. The soundtrack is fantastic and, I have to admit, the jokes are always funny. Seriously, check this movie out.

This movie is a time vault of 80's nostalgia. It is Miami Vice on military grade steroids with its catch phrases, male macho orgasms and Hollywood myths. It is every thing John Wayne represented in the 40's and 50's on westerns and war movies, but set in the 80's.Top Gun is a movie about a character named Maverick and is played by a young Tom Cruise. Maverick is a loose cannon who causes lots of problems, including a death of a friend. He doesn't like following rules or being a team player. Hence the name, Maverick.While the casting is perfect for this movie, the direction and the script is filled with too many factual errors. There is also the problem with stereotypical representation of women and Russians. It is 100% pro-American and anti-everything not American.I saw this movie in 1989 when I was at Parris Island. My platoon had just won the rifle range and our SDI promised us a day off on Sunday. That morning he rolled in a cart with a small screened television and a VCR. In popped a pirated copy of an unknown movie. We huddled around the television with the opening scenes. We all cheered, hooted and hollered. It was a grand moment for us.However after 27 years I watched it again and could not bear even a few minutes of the movie. I could see all types of visual flaws in the movie, such as the opening statement which uses the word "insure" rather than "ensure". facepalm.The movie is OK, I just do not like it. As a young kid in the Marines it was wonderful because I was a brainwashed kid ready to go off to war with what ever enemy I was told to point my gun. I didn't care if the acting was terrible or if the technical errors existed in the movie. I just wanted to see T&A of Kelly McGillis and fighter jets.This movie does not stand the test of time. In the coming decades it will be forgotten like many movies from the 20's and 30's. It isn't amazing and it isn't Oscar worthy except for some technical aspects.
