9 hours and I'll be sitting with my xxxl tub of popcorn gazing at the silver screen....I'm actually looking forward to this!
Me and my wife had a rewatch of Top Gun last night just to get us up with the backstory

300. Just bad.

As for Top Gun, I’ll watch anything that has an F14 Tomcat in it. The new movie has F18s so I’ll give it a miss.

There's a long scene in the sequel where Maverick goes up against two modern fighter planes in an F14...he even gives it a frown at the dashboard and a "I ain't used one of these in nearly 30 years, here's hoping I still remember"

I hated Top Gun from the start!
I saw it once on video--and thought--man this sucks.

Exactly the film I thought of when I saw the thread title. We watched it again lately because my lad wanted to see the original before he went and saw the new one with his mates. Good grief, the original was dreadful in almost every way.

Yes Top Gun certainly had a lot going for it , pointless action sequences , no real plot or story to speak of and unlikable main characters with about as much depth and dimension as a movie poster .

Top Gun.
Loved it when it came out but now it just looks cliche'd, like it was written to formula. It was a recruiting tool, selling an illusion of navy life

It's the Citizen Kane of recruitment films.

One thing that I hate in a movie like Top Gun is innacuracy. The baddies all flew the F5 Freedom Fighter. Seemed a bit Ironic to me given Maverick is a defender of freedom.

I believe that, this time around, they’re using the SU 57 ’Felon’, which is a but more credible

It was total rubbish, and whenever I see Spartans mentioned now I always think of a rather telling article by Myke Cole.

And its making millions at the box office which mean that a sequel is not out the sam of possibilities.
