Top Gun Reviews
Simply put, this is one of the most entertaining films in recent memory.
An empty meaningless script is more than compensated for by superb camerawork and flying stunts.
It exists for people who want to live vicariously through Maverick without having any of his attributes
40 years on, Top Gun still succeeds at making you feel the need, the need for speed, and it is why it stands tall even today; because it fulfills that need.
I'm not saying don't see it, you just have to be very clear about what it's about. It's an entertaining movie, it's a very cheesy movie. [Full review in Spanish]
It’s preposterous and everything about it is style over substance, but Tony Scott‘s Top Gun is hugely entertaining popcorn fare – and it continues to rock and roll 40 years on.
It’s an entertaining watch that doesn’t provide much beyond surface thrills, although many have had fun analyzing its (unintentional?) homoerotic content.
Cut off from emotion and meaning, this kind of work has a hollow, nervous weightlessness to it -- decadence without the courage of true decadence.
Forty years later, its trademark swagger, flight footage and soundtrack inspire nostalgia for movies that delivered such total packages.
This is the kind of macho soap opera in which the heroes, as well as the villains, strut around with an attitude problem, forever looking cool and going nose to nose as they challenge and taunt one another.
"Top Gun" is a reprise of just about every air corps movie ever made.
"Top Gun" blasts its audience with equally insistent roars of aircraft, pop tunes and lust.
In this age of Rambo, Top Gun will not only give young audiences a slam-bang movie entertainment aimed at their baser jingoistic impulses, but will supply the navy with a new stock of cannon fodder for its next foray into Libya or Nicaragua.
Director Tony Scott gives the production a nicely polished sheen, although some of the scenes look and sound too much like a combination of Navy recruiting commercials and MTV videos.
Like his better-known brother, Ridley, Tony is a master of visual art, but he has difficulty delineating substance beneath sheen. His movies look good but don't say very much.
The Paramount release has everything today's audience might demand, except the spontaneous energy of those air movies of the past.
Directed by Tony Scott...and produced by Don Simpson and Jerry Bruckheimer...Top Gun was fated to have the visual look of a designer perfume ad, but it's still impressive the way they've managed to make these implements of war look so damned erotic.
There's no justification for this comic-book version of "An Officer and a Gentleman," apparently devised for brain-dead teenagers.
Cruise still has a long way to go, but he supplies the only spark in this very polished, very familiar film.
It's a hit when it aims at the gut, a miss when it aims any higher.
