Film Review - Top Gun (1986)

Top Gun stars Tom Cruise in the role that put him on the Hollywood A list, ace navy fighter pilot Maverick who along with his partner Goose played by Anthony Edwards are sent to the top fighter pilot school known as Top Gun, whilst there Maverick develops a rivalry with another pilot code named Iceman, played by Val Kilmer and the two will have to put themselves to the test if they want to be the best of the best.


I enjoyed Top Gun for what it was, a fun popcorn film with some great music such as "Danger Zone" by Kenny Loggins and the action scenes including the aerial photography are second to none, making the viewers believe they’re that high in the air but on a negative note, the film was produced by Jerry Bruckheimer and the late Don Simpson who also made the first two Beverly Hills Cop films in between this film and compared to those, this one doesn’t measure up.


But despite that, Top Gun gets 3 out of 5.
