It’s really bad. About a third or half way through. The chick just said she’s really fallen for Maverick. 
Please tell me it gets better.

It doesn't. Either you're on board the testosterone train, or you should find another ride.

 
It’s fine. Don’t really get the love for it but I think you had to be a specific age in that period of time when it came out. Just one of those movies that people recognize as an important symbol of their youth. 

 
That's right, Iceman...I AM dangerous.

Side note:  Kelly McGinnis is the least attractive leading lady in a blockbuster of all time.
oooff, movie for movie at the time the movie was filmed i’d take her over the titanic lady and the fast and furious chick (rodriguez)

 
I think that if somebody watches a movie from a different era—they need to at least try to understand how that movie translated or related to that era.

Kelly McGinnis over Kate Winslet and Michelle Rodriguez?

I could maybe see Winslet, but I think Kate has a much prettier face...plus, boobies.  But I will fight you over Rodriguez.  She is absolutely smoking hot, IMO.

 
The line about Charlie having a pHD in astrophysics always did bug me.  That has nothing to do with flying an airplane.  Think they meant Aerospace Engineering.

 
It's not a great movie.

But it is fun.

And go America and screw you vaguely defined enemy county that is probably Russia!!! But could be China, I suppose, or even North Korea...Either way, NOT America! :headbang:

Thanks for saving me the trouble.

Just one of those movies I never saw and I'm pretty surprised how big the sequel is. I never knew so many people were so into it.

 
Wait. Are you saying that this wasn’t the plan from the start?  You just randomly decided to watch the original Top Gun this week with no expectations/idea that you were going to probably be seeing the new one?? Lol 
It was a possibility for sure but I wanted some back story first. Just didn’t expect it to be that bad.

 
Such a weird hill to place your flag on  :lmao:
:lmao:

There is a story behind it.  I won't bore with details.

Then 20 years in the Navy ensured I would never have interest in it.  Pilots are generally ##### bags, in my experience.

 
One has to lighten up and enjoy the ride. It's a lot of cheese for sure. 
Because of how often it is mocked and and imitated it really has turned into a comedy  for sure.   Watching it now it has really become a parody of itself......which still makes for an entertaining watch......just not what it was in the time.   It's almost like it is two different movies.  

 
The soundtrack was one of the first tapes I ever had. Take My Breath Away by Berlin is clearly one of their worst songs fwiw.
