Movie Reviews of Top Gun
Movie Review: I Feel the Need, the Need for Speed!
Summary: 5 Stars
Top Gun made so many people want to become fighter pilots. As a movie it was probably one of the best promotional tools the Navy and armed forces ever had and the spike in enrollment for years was measurable. Of course there were very few who became pilots or even RIO's and probably ended up in crap roles and not even on an carrier, but I digress.
It's strange to look at the film now and see the outdated old Ninja motorcycle, know that F-14's are no longer in service, Top Gun itself doesn't exist, Anthony Edwards is bald, and Tom Cruise is a Scientology freak.
People also comment on the 'homo-erotic,' volley ball scene, but I prefer to think that there are many more straight women who enjoyed that one scene in a guy's film vs homosexual males.
Top Gun as a film is out dated, but it is still fun to watch and feel like I'm a little kid again who thinks that one day I could be a fighter pilot. It's a film locked in a period of time in US history that has come and gone, but it still makes me smile.
Summary of Top Gun
Jingoism, beefcake, military hardware, and a Giorgio Moroder rock score reign supreme over taste and logic in this Tony Scott film about a maverick trainee pilot (Tom Cruise) who can't follow the rules at a Navy aviation training facility. The dogfight sequences between American and Soviet jets at the end are absolutely mechanical, though audiences loved it at the time. The love story between Cruise's character and that of Kelly McGillis is like flipping through pages of advertising in a glossy magazine. This designer action movie from 1986 would be all the more appalling were it not for the canny casting of good actors in dumb parts. Standouts include Anthony Edwards--who makes a nice impression as Cruise's average-Joe pal--and the relatively unknown Meg Ryan in a small but memorable appearance. --Tom KeoghJingoism, beefcake, military hardware, and a Giorgio Moroder rock score reign supreme over taste and logic in this Tony Scott film about a maverick trainee pilot (Tom Cruise) who can't follow the rules at a Navy aviation training facility.
