edjr 6,578 Posted January 25, 2020 I feel like I will cry when I see this. A very happy cry, like when I watch old videos of Larry Bird or the 2004 Red Sox or the 2001 Patriots Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Strike 5,188 Posted April 5, 2022 I will probably watch this movie, but my expectations for it are very low. Not sure if I'll pay money to see it though. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

wiffleball 4,788 Posted April 5, 2022 From the trailers, it looks like they're just trying to refilm the original movie. There's the bar scene, the obligatory shirtless sport scene, the you're in big trouble scene, followed by the only Mav can save the day scene... At least they got a WAY hotter broad.

I read that Cruise wears the same leather jacket as he did in the original, but in this one the Tiawanese flag is gone...because China would get mad. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Masshole 642 Posted April 6, 2022 Don't get the love for the original or the anticipation for this one. I thought the original was a monumentally stupid movie. The bar scene where Cruise and the other aviators start singing "you've lost that loving feeling" alone should have been disqualifying of the entire movie. Why would anyone be excited for a reboot?

They are all cringe-worthy awful. . . Top Gun is basically "Cocktail in fighter jets", it's that bad. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Top Gun came out first...So Cocktail is Top Gun in a bar...not the other way around. Days of Thunder is Top Gun in Nascar. All the same movie really, Cocky but undisciplined hot shot, Gets shot at the big time, meet girl, mentor/rival is lost/ Tom takes lesson from rival mentor to get back in the game and win girl back. (I watch way too many movies) Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
edjr 6,578 Posted April 7, 2022 If you guys are going to talk badly about Top Gun AND Cocktail? You are really crossing a line I don't want to be part of. What next? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
craftsman 1,045 Posted November 12, 2022 The first Top Gun from back however many years ago sucked. This new Top Gun was pretty darn good. It was even worth putting up with the cheezie references to the first one. They really saved face on this effort. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I'm not saying it's not worth seeing in a theater, but don't discount a GOOD home theater either. I have a decent setup, dedicated theater room. It's not better than my local theater. So sure, if you have a better setup than your local theater, good for you. I'm taking about the other 99.9% of us. The movie is perfect for an actual theater experience.

I have a problem with movie theatres nowadays. Too many rude @ssholes talking to each other as if their hanging out at the club, looking at or talking on their phones, chewing their chips with their mouth wide open and reaching inside the plastic bag (making lots of noise) every 2 seconds and basically ruining the entire experience. Yeah, I'm old but it seems to me civility and politeness are time tested concepts. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
