Wasn't that when we would show war clips of our boys in Europe fighting the Nazi's?...

An honest tune with a lingering lead
Saw it yesterday. Here's my .02.
The opening scene gave me chills. That music is so bad ass.
Much of the film was a walk down memory lane and many times I wanted to cry. It really tapped into that feeling of nostalgia and I couldn't help but think about the 8 year old swimmy seeing the original for the first time. Top Gun changed a generation. We all wanted to be a fighter pilot and wear those Ray Bans.
I still hate that Goose died. Such bullshit.
Tom Cruise looks incredible for his age. Not in some fake plastic surgery kind of way but like he's doing something right. Dude is pushing 60?
Yes, there was a lot of cheeze. I could've done with a lot less but I get it, that is the way movies have gone. That is one of the things I love about the original...it was, for the most part, authentic. The blockbusters coming out of Hollywood now are so over the top unrealistic that it actually has the opposite effect on me. It makes it less impressive. My 17 year old step son thought it was AWESOME though so what do I know.
The actual fighter jet porn was bad ass. That needs to be seen on a big screen with loud surround sound system.
Val Kilmer, remember what a bad ass that dude was? Doc Holliday in Tombstone is one of my favorite characters of all time. Crazy what's happened to him and can't help but feel for the guy.
All in all, it was good. I don't agree that it was better than the first but also don't think that is a fair expectation. It will not be a movie that I will see hundreds of times like the first but would recommend going and seeing it. I will also say that everyone in my group had a good time, including my wife who doesn't really like going to movies. Her mom also had fun.
This will be me and @_WW_ in a few weeks after he rows me on to a 22" brown and that chick in the other boat waves at us.

True. I like Loggins, but when it comes to Danger Zone and Footloose I just can't.Except that hideous Danger Zone tune. That makes me squirm every time I hear it. Not even F-14 Tomcats can make that better.
I did like the movie, cheese and all.

It’s allright
We went to see it yesterday and it was entertaining.

Lots of 80’s movies were pretty cheesy…most of them actually. I was 10 when the first one came out and I still wear aviators everyday
. I can’t wait to see it.

It's the SAME EXACT movie as the original.

Saw this last night. I thought it was pretty darned good- and I’m a bit of a tough critic.
Lots of action

Netflix will only show 60% of what the Imax theatre experience is because when the fighter jets take off the whole theatre rumbles. The chair you sit in bibrates from the intense sound. This film is way better than the first.
Saw it last night.
Our 5th grader and his friend thought it was a little slow. Wife and i liked it, thought it was a decent mix of nostalgia and new.
That was the south lake tahoe airport in the movie. The mountain flying shots looked like canada.

Ha! I used to do donuts in that parking lot when it snowed when I was a teenager.
The planes and pilots were from NASLemoore, my town. The woman pilot who flew for the actress pilot is the CO of the squadron. They are doing a fly over town today for an hour, they get so low you can see the pilots faces. Stoke!
