Not anything so deliciously campy and sincerely silly. I expected something more like the action movies I’m used to reviewing: a violent, overblown spectacle of aggression. I have no doubt that we’ll get into the sexual politics and the homoerotic … can we even call it a subtext? There are a lot of themes to unpack!īut what struck me - what I didn’t expect - was the extravagant beauty, the dreaminess, the foregrounding of poetry rather than plot.
That a movie so well known can provoke such divergent responses after so many years is a sign that it’s still alive. One reader, Cheryl from Fullerton, Calif., remembered that “30 years ago this film blew me away” only to find it “trite, misogynistic and actually boring” when she rewatched it with her grandsons. They range from “What a bunch of hooey” to “landmark of cinematic excellence.” The glorification of the American military was inspiring to some, off-putting to others. Top Gun is the story of a young naval aviator at the Navy’s elite fighter weapons school who is competing to be the best in the class and he learns some lessons from a civilian instructor that are not taught in the class.I’m intrigued by how divisive it still is, based on the comments we’ve received. This film holds an approval rating of 55% with an average rating of 5.85/10 on the Rotten Tomatoes website.
