My family and I decided to watch top gun since my girlfriend and I have never seen the first one and because we are seeing maverick in a couple days. What can I say? Itโs basically the movie that set Tom Cruise to super stardom. While super cheesy and clichรฉ at parts the movie has some good acting. I can see why it would have been loved so long ago, I tried to put myself in that 80โs type feel to see that part of it and while like I said I see why back so many years ago it was considered a classic but in this day in age itโs just another movie with handsome cocky Tom Cruise. Itโs not a horrible movie itโs just very very overhyped. I tried so hard to see why itโs so loved but at the end of the day itโs just tom cruise as tom cruise flying a plane.
