Pros: Great fun, good flight scenes, chance to see famous actors before they were famous Cons: Cruise is just too cheesy for words, romance doesn't work too well
Top Gun is a film thats getting on a bit now, but its still good fun and you can get the DVD version really cheaply now, so get a little bit of film history and enjoy. Its not brilliant but (for a Tom Cruise film) its pretty ...
Pros: Nifty aerial sequences, nice cinematography Cons: The love story is not as hot as it should be; the battle scenes
When I heard the other day that Congressman Randall “Duke” Cunningham (R-CA) had been forced to resign from the House of Representatives because he’d accepted huge bribes from a defense contractor, one of my first thoughts was what a terrible legacy ...
Pros: Timeless quality Cons: Follows the 'sports movie' formula
Top Gun was such a huge hit when it was released in the mid-1980’s that it supposedly boosted military recruitment. I wonder how many fighter pilot hopefuls crashed and burned when it came to qualifications. They don’t just let anyone command a ...
Pros: The Volleyball Scene - Momma! Cons: Kelly McGillis
Preamble
It was the Summer of 1986. Think hot. Think sweaty. Think lust. Think desire. That my friends, is what the Summer of '86 was for me. This movie means a lot to me. I saw it at the beautiful Holiday Theaters. It's the first...
Pros: Camp and Cheese! What more do you want from the 80's? Cons: Tom Cruise
Playing, playing with the boys Playing, playing with the boys After chasing sunsets One of life's simple joys Is playing with the boys Playing With The Boys - Kenny Loggins I was in the Navy for 10 years. Ten loooong years and I ...
Pros: Some great action scenes, Looks impressive Cons: The Story is a bit cheesy
There are a number of films in my DVD collection that I would consider to be classics. Those films that I can just put on when ever I want and enjoy no matter what kind of mood I’m in. This is one such film. Top Gun has been a favourite of mine for years ...
Pros: Same precious 'bad' acting and dialogue Cons: Stupendously un-gripping
Top Gun is a burnout; the cinematic equivalent of having a hairdryer blasted in your face for two hours, this is a remarkably unfocused film with only a string of embarrassing clichés to recommend it.
Pros: The Tomcats in flight, Cruise on the prowl. Cons: Lotsa Caricature Acting.
Boy it was great to finally see a movie about the F-14 Tomcat wasn't it? From the beginning to the end of this movie, we know who the REAL stars of this show are, right?
It is those metal birrrrrds, baby. The kind that jump off the decks into...
Pros: A movie for everyone Cons: Military personnel can pick out imperfections
If you have never seen Top Gun, starring Tom Cruise, Kelly McGillis, Val Kilmer, and Anthony Edwards, with a cameo appearance by Meg Ryan, you are missing out! This is a movie for ANYONE from age 11 (which was the age at which I first saw it) to...
Pros: Amazing action scenes, Tom Cruise, Meg Ryan, Val Kilmer Cons: Nothing pops into my head
Top Gun.....Hmmmm where to start? Top Gun is my kind of movie. It should be everyone's kind of movie but I don't think it is. Almost every type of movie genre is in this movie. It has action, romance, drama, and horror. Lol, well maybe not horror but...
Pros: Nice script which touches on virtually all facets of a story Cons: Meg Ryan's annoying Southern accent; Dizzying camera angles; HIS NAME WAS PETE!!!
Top Gun is one of Dionne's favorite movies. As you all know, Dionne and I are best friends. She loves Tom Cruise, whereas I thinks he's okay at best. Tonight, after an impromptu pizza party in the Commons, Dionne, Erik, Casino, Corrina, Scott...
Pros: good quotes, great characters, enjoyable by all Cons: cheesy special effects in parts
Where do I begin?
'Top Gun' deals with the the Navy's school for its elite pilots to train the lost art of aerial combat, Fighter Weapons School, but more commonly known as Top Gun. At the center of the story is Lt. Pete Mitchell, call sign...
Pros: see final paragraph for crying out loud Cons: "Cons" has no place in any literature related to the movie TOP GUN.
Howdy. You know I once turned down an opportunity to watch Top Gun on the big screen, back in '86. I was eight years at the time, hanging in California with my Aunt and Uncle on a family vacation. Well, I declined the opportunity. To this day it is...
Pros: Just Plain Fun! Cons: I never did see it on the big screen. Boo Hoo!
Tom Cruise stars as Lt. Pete Mitchel, the Navy fighter pilot whose call sign, Maverick describes the way he flies and lives. The movie opens as Maverick has a close encounter with a Russian MIG 28 (bear in mind this movie is set in...
Pros: A decent action romance movie. Cons: A little slow at times
I must admit that I am not generally a Tom Cruise fan. Perhaps because of his good looks and dynamite smile, or perhaps because of his sex appeal, or perhaps because of my jealousy! Whatever it is I never managed to watch Top Gun all the way. However,...
