You went to a Top Gun movie expecting... subtlety?

Sounds like the problem was unreasonable expectations rather than the movie itself.


I was dragged into watching it by my mother who said it was "great". I didn't want to watch it.


How old are you??

37. We were spending the night at my parents house and she wouldn't drop it, so we watched it on TV.

Oh, and since it's his own P-51, Tom Cruise can use whatever tools he wants to work on it.
I did have a problem with the use of a Mustang in the film. Shouldn't a Naval aviator own a F4U Corsair for his personal iconic WWII fighter. Well probably a F6FHellcat but that plane, although the workhorse of the Pacific War, is hardly an iconic warbird.
Hell of a lot more surviving Mustangs than Corsairs. You could just chalk it up to availability.

I bet you hate Star Wars because that's not how space works….

And you hate ESB because….

Movie inaccuracy person is always so damn laughable to me.


I still love the guy in the 1917 thread who said the German pilot would have never acted that way and stabbed the guy so he hated the movie.

... I''ve watched in years. Am I the only person who thinks this way? Probably so.

They finally put this out on Paramount + so I started watching it yesterday, Got as far as start of the sailboat scene and just turned it off.

Perhaps it was all the silliness and inaccuracies of the flying scenes that drove me nutty. No, there is no manned vehicle that flies anywhere close to Mach10. There is no way to eject and live traveling at any speed like that.No, test pilots are automatically grounded flying outside the prescribed training curriculum. COs portraits at HQ are not glamour shots. Use the right damn tools to work on your P-51, dammit!

Perhaps this is just a movie that is about what I've done for a living for the last several decades and can't bring myself to suspend reality long enough to enjoy a work of fiction. But I really was surprised to see so many calling this the movie of the year.

Does he finally end up playing volleyball with the son of his booty buddy at the end?


Listens to Nickelback and probably wears a fanny pack.

This bothered me as well.

First scene of the movie and the dude cranking on an aircraft engine with a giant 1/2 in drive ratchet. First thought was wtf is going on here.

It was totally goofy imho - especially the Star Wars rip off of putting a bomb in a hole. Hmmm missile wouldn't have worked? Enjoyed it anyway.

Admittedly, that was dumb especially considering it's all about ball bearings.

Okay, I'm glad I wasn't the only one thinking it's a ripoff of StarWars Episodes 4 & 7.

It was okay, a good popcorn munching movie, but I wouldn't watch it again…

It was the best movie of this decade. That's a hill I'll die on.

My vote is for Crossroads.

I actually didn't bother watching the movie at all but someone told me about it. Never even see a trailer.

They expect me to believe that the Karate frickin kid can outplay Steve Vai on the guitar? With a man's soul on the line?

Haha. Macchio outplays Vai. F'ing idiot movie makers.


He caught a fly with chopsticks
Of course he can outplay the Vai

Loved the movie, but at least pick something reasonable, like how the couldn't even make up a good fake country to bomb (or real one).

That's the point. The movie doesn't age as poorly if the country is non-descript.

It's an updated 80s action movie. I thoroughly enjoyed it. 9/10.

Would have been a 10 if the following:

1. If it had a blatant all white male cast sprinkled with some homosexuality as a nice homage to the original and an ef you to the woke world. I mean they had a woman, a black and Mexican guy when they did the Star Wars run. Come on.

2. Ditch the get shot down, traverse through snow environment lord knows how many miles and survive, steal a convenient top gun part 1 jet, impossible take off and shooting down two ….lol….gen 5 fighters, and finally crash land safely on an aircraft carrier. But I'll allow the tower flyby. Necessary.

But seriously, delete this stupid thread. Movie was awesome. Watch greys anatomy op.

I just want to point out OP likes watching marching band videos.

Did Jackie recruit Tom Cruise in HS? I know the coach from Minnesota who won the National Championship in the 90's was his HS coach.
