Don't even try to compare both Top Guns; the only thing they have in common is that they're both awesome movies, just in different ways. Here's a list of several qualities, followed by which Top Gun movie did it better: CASTING: TG1 had much better cast. ACTION/SUSPENSE: TG2 has extreme intense action MUSIC: TG1 by far CINEMATOGRAPHY: TG2 for sure (better technology) CHARACTER DEVELOPMENT: TG1 was far better COMEDY: TG1, though TG2 had one good laugh out loud PILOTS: TG1 without a doubt EXCITEMENT FACTOR: TG2 All the way STORY LINE: Both movies are tied EMOTION/FEEL: Nothing can top TG1, but TG2 had nostalgia Even though I gave TG1 more ratings, I think TG2 will appeal more to the the younger generation. [!!!-spoilers alert beyond this point- !!!] I teared up when I saw Val Kilmer. I didn't expect it, maybe because I haven't seen him in years and I know what he's gone through. I was REALLY glad that he spoke a little for his role. I loved howTom Cruise welcomes you before the movie; it's a great personal touch that was very nostalgic for me. I also loved how well they explained the logistics and dangers of the mission they were embarking on, so you knew exactly what the plan was. And Maverick crashing behind enemy lines; I did NOT see that coming at all! But hijacking an F-14 TOMCAT was the ultimate! Lastly, I want to explain my disappointment with the casting of the pilots, except for Goose's son (great resemblance to goose, but maybe overdid the whole 'angry at Maverick' thing a bit.) The pilots looked like wimpy little millenial KIDS, not men. The pilots in TG1 were muscular, much more masculine and macho, cocky, crass (of course, we were MEN in the 80's, and we weren't confused about it!). It's too bad the 'woke' crowd had to throw the token female pilot in there for political correctness, which totally killed the "manly" vibe that was TOP GUN. You can't have guys just being 'guys' when a female is hanging around, because all you think about these days is sexual harassment. But anyway, her presence did nothing whatsoever for the film, but this movie is STILL PHENOMENAL!! Also, I really missed not seeing Tom Skerrit (VIPER) and Michael Ironside (JESTER), because I thought they'd be in it. I also wanted to see the bald guy, but nope. Surprisingly, I didn't really miss Kelly McGillis, though she WAS essential in TG1. Jennifer Conelly made a pretty good Penny Benjamin, and the love scenes came close to being too much, but they worked out okay. (nobody wants to see 60-year-olds getting it on!) I just can't say enough about the cinematography, that part you just have to see for yourself. The first and the last action scenes are just insane, you'll be climbing up the back of your seat, I promise you. DO NOT RENT TG2, this movie is a MUST SEE IN THEATER, so don't wait!

First of all, having grown up in the 1980's and playing D&D's module "Vecna Lives", I can tell you that Stranger Things looks NOTHING REMOTELY like the 80's or D&D. Not even close. Who even came up with those ridiculous haircuts on those two dudes, seriously?! You'd get your *** kicked in the 80s with a cut like that. Anyway, the reason that every season but the first really stinks is because they tried too hard to make it better. Now it's nothing but gratuitous profanity, blood, dead bodies, overused foul language and satanism, blah blah blah- not to mention that Vecna's makeup is soooo bad, looks like a really uncomfortable pudgy guy in a wetsuit trying to pull out a wedgie. The kids were cute and fun in the first season, and the kid finding the baby monster was cool, stuff like that made it interesting. But now it's just a weird, trashy and demonic show that's so repetitive you want to peel your own face off. Like we've not seen the girl just stand there looking mad with her hand raised, using her mind power thingy- SEEN IT!!! No wonder so many people like this garbage; society doesn't know quality production anymore, which is why they all binge on the same, sad old super hero movies produced on an assembly line by DC and Marvel. NO CREATIVITY IN HOLLYWOOD ANYMORE. If you can manage to squeeze your nose tight enough, go ahead and watch this trash- enjoy!!

I waited FOREVER for this movie, and I never imagined I'd give a bad review, I'm so bummed now; but I know exactly why this movie flopped so bad. First, the entire movie is so DARK, not at all as colorful and bright as the others. This movie also lacked any feelings of JOY or HAPPINESS or INSPIRATION- it was like the soul of the movie was stripped out and burned away. Even the humor didn't make me laugh one time. Lightyear just falls flat on its face. Wish I could get a refund.
