That was really good. I hadn’t been to a theater in a while and really forgot how much better the sound is, especially since we don’t even have a sound bar. Really cool seeing the real footage in action with actors flying out of their seats and forces pulling on them in different directions as well.

Saw this last night, I would give it 3 out of 5 stars. Was good but not great!! kinda expected it to be better given the reviews!

You are the 1st person that was let down.

Good movie. Felt parts of it was "I am Tom Cruise-look at me"
I did not need to have the TC promo and speech at the beginning of the movie.

Pretty much sums up my feelings. Good but disappointing. Held back by a simplistic, contrived plot. Of the four movies I've actually seen in the theater in the past few months (Dune, Ghostbusters Afterlife and Batman being the others) this was the one I liked the least.

Still, it was enjoyable. The cast was likeable and the aerial footage was amazing.

Yep. A lot of it was expectations. For me, Ghostbusters exceeded my limited expectations. Top Gun didn't live up to my extreme expectations. Everybody raved about how great it was, and while it had great flying scenes, it wasn't a great movie. It was a good movie with a silly plot.

I understand.. I think Topgun kind of stayed true to the 80s style of movie and that's what I expected..

I would agree with that, except for me that was kind of a bummer.

To me it would have been much better had Maverick died saving Rooster's life. As it was, you have this "impossible" attack and everybody survives. That would be like all the rebels surviving the Death Star attack. Well actually, this WAS all the rebels surviving the Death Star attack, since that whole sequence blatantly ripped off Star Wars, at least until they went full reerun with both getting shot down/surviving/escaping in the old tomcat.

As I mentioned in an earlier post, this was basically Avatar with jets. While it wasn't nearly as bad/annoying/insulting as Avatar was, any comparison to Avatar outside of special effects is not a good thing. That's how lame and predictable the story was.

No doubt, and that movie is an 80’s guilty pleasure for me.

I haven't watched it in years, but it kind of reminds me of Roadhouse. I somehow doubt that there are great high level brotherhoods of bouncers and bartenders.
