3.5/4  What made Tom Cruise a Star
One could make the claim that "Top Gun," released during the summer of 1986, is one of the most influential action/guy movies ever made. Its testosterone-driven story of a young hotshot navy pilot named Maverick (Tom Cruise), who is sent w... (read full)

3.5/4  Cool.
Fantastic Tony Scott flick. A classic from the 80s with that soundtrack that cracks you up, and all those cheese momments digns of a movie ready to pass time and have fun. If you haven't seen it, please, do it and let me know how much you ... (read full)

3/4  Top Gun Quick Review
This is probably the first Tom Cruise movie I ever saw. And, it's one of his best.

3/4  Top Gun Quick Review
Not quite as good as I remember it. The love story tends to slow the movie down, all I want to see is some dogfights. But, it's still a classic, iconic movie of the 80's, a must see for anyone.

3.5/4  Top Gun Quick Review
For the 80s, this was a great flick! Action, romance, drama. Typical Cruise performance but we hadn't seen too much of him in 1986. Kilmer is a good rival and Edwards is a loveable friend.

4/4  Top Gun Quick Review
excellant flick. loved the action and music. Makes most want to be a TOP GUN.

3.5/4  Top Gun Quick Review
This is the perfect movie men and women - enough testosterone and dog fights to keep the men interested, enough buff men to keep the women smiling. The best of both worlds, with a totally 80s soundtrack to boot. A winner!

4/4  Top Gun Quick Review
How can this not be considered one of the greatest movies of the 80's? It has some great camera work, good acting, very likeable characters, tragedy, love and action. A great soundtrack acompanies this movie - nice glasses!

5/5 Blu-Ray Review
  by Walbert Matos
I'm gonna review the quality of the blu-ray version of this movie. I'm not gonna review the movie itself as there are enough reviews of it. I was surprised with the quality of this movie, I wasn't expecting an spectacular image quality but it exceeded my expectations. Sure the quality is not like a new release film, but the quality is outstanding considering how old is this movie. My only gripe is that image quality is not consistent in some parts of the movie(those are few), but I think that's more related to the camera work in the movie than with the HD conversion. The audio is superb, and that's a good thing especially with this movie. Recommended buy for HDTV owners.

4/5 Please Don't Tell Anyone
  by D. Mikels (Skunk Holler)
Okay, I confess. TOP GUN is a rarity--it's one of the few Tom Cruise films I can tolerate. (The other two being Rain Man and Valkyrie.) In fact, I not only tolerate TOP GUN. . .I flat out like the heck out of it, even after all these years. Yes, the plot is farfetched and silly, no armed services would put up for one nanosecond the antics of an undisciplined pilot, and someone looking like Kelly McGillis as a jet pilot instructor at a naval aviation school will actually happen when herds of elephants swim the Atlantic, but it matters not: This Eighties classic gets up and moves just like the F-14s bolting through the skies.

Cast, cast, cast; that's what makes an action/drama succeed. And here we have a topnotch ensemble, from Cruise himself as the "need for speed" Maverick, a loose cannon living on the edge. McGillis's character as instructor-turned-love-interest is unbelievable, but easy on the eye; Val Kilmer as top rival Ice is cool, calm, collected, and deliciously confrontational; Anthony Edwards as Maverick's cockpit sidekick Goose provides consistent comedy relief; and Tom Skerritt as flight school commander Viper is as good as it gets. Oh, there's even this little cameo by a young actress named Meg Ryan that quietly hints here's an actress with some chops. The jet fighter sequences are breathtaking, the action and drama relentless, the acting first rate--and it's all augmented by a sensational musical score. All in all, TOP GUN is a keeper, Tom Cruise or no Tom Cruise. Could've done without the beach volleyball scene, but that's just me.
