I'm staring in it. Washed up old loser trying to relive past glories. Checks out.

I saw the trailer. The flying stuff looked good. I'll give Tom Cruise credit for being strapped to the back of a Super Hornet and being flown through the Star Wars Canyon. I don't think I could stomach the bad acting.

One of my dads had a brief cameo at the end of the original, as he was working the flight deck the day they filmed the final scene. Or at least that's what he tells us, as it's just a bunch of guys in helmets rushing the planes. For this reason, and because awesome, I finally introduced my kids to Top Gun just last week. Daughter instantly got bored. Son LOVED it.
I got to thinking about it afterward, and--homoerotic volleyball (NTTAWWT) aside--it was pretty much a perfectly executed movie. There was cheese and tropes and Durka Durka Jihad galore, but the plot made sense, pacing was spot on, characters were developed, good story arc, redemption story for the main character was well executed. I really think were Plinkett to review this movie, he'd be left with nothing but poking fun at the cheesy details.
Huge omission from the movie bracket challenge. I keep repeating "good execution," but that's what this one really comes down do: It has to be one of the better executed simple popcorn movies of all tim. -

For those of you who don't remember, "Top Gun" was the movie about a bunch of guys who stand around high-fiving each other for about 90 minutes. The movie focuses on some loser named "Maverick" who penetrates deep into the coveted veil of the top gun academy of smug, sexually frustrated aviators. I know many of you reading this will probably think I'm exaggerating when I say this (since I exaggerate everything, except for my manliness which is enviable), but there were no fewer than 500 shower scenes in this movie. The wardrobe for this film must have consisted of a towel, a jump suit, and 50 pages of gay innuendo, because the rest of the time Tom Cruise and Val Kilmer were walking around naked eyeing each other's packages.
Then as if the director didn't think all the high-fiving and shower scenes were suggestive enough, there was a gratuitous scene in which all the guys got oiled up and played volleyball. Every few minutes I half-expected to see Cruise and Kilmer lock lips to a ballad of "It's Raining Men:"
Edit: ALBS, awesome movie -
You can just PM @Swaye your nudes and get it over this, this middle school flirting is out of control.1to392831weretaken said:One of my dads had a brief cameo at the end of the original, as he was working the flight deck the day they filmed the final scene.

Word on the street is that Tom Cruise is a pretty decent pilot and a super nice guy to those that run into him out at the airport. He has a P-51 Mustang and has been known to take guys out flying in it so they can get a taste of the sound of a Rolls Royce Merlin.PurpleBaze said:I saw the trailer. The flying stuff looked good.

Does Maverick finally come out of the closet in this version?

BAMF movie. It was all you would have expected. They did a great job and will not disappoint. 100% needs to be seen in theater with sounds ... Will see it again in iMax, 100%.
Curious to hear @Swaye's take. Either from ptsd or yeah-fucking-right-aint-going-down-like-that.
The ugly: Maverick's token sidekick's name is Hondo. FTG.

I'm kind of neutral on the guy. I've enjoyed some of his roles, but tend to view him as over rated. -
Get a franchise or three like Cruise and Stallone
5. Profit -

Cruise is the greatest pg-13 action star in history and it’s not even close
