To me this was just a cheesy, updated knock off copied version from the first movie, 98% of it is uneventful and frankly quite boring.
The plot was shallow, predictable; nothing special. It was a good way to entertain for 2 or so hours out of my day.
While others claim this is the best movie ever made, personally in my opinion it doesn't deserve that statement. I expected much more from a postponed 3 year release of a movie.
One statement holds true though, if something isn't broke don't fix it. Top Gun did not need a remake.
