Top Gun Movie Review

Top Gun

Tony Scott's (the director of this film) goal was to make 'Top Gun' about the air force. The genre was drama/action which occurred in previous wars that took place in the past. I acknowledged the director's idea as far as including romance in the mix of the military. 

The Top Gun Naval Fighter Weapons School is where most of the scenes took place. Top Cruise's character is Maverick. He's much cocky and he doesn't really fit in with the other pilots, especially with Iceman. But Maverick isn't only competing to be the top fighter pilot, he's also fighting for the attention of his beautiful flight instructor, Charlotte Blackwood (Kelly McGillis). And like I said before, I liked the idea of the director for adding romance.


For most people who's interested in the military, I'd recommend this film to them. This film shows leadership on Maverick's part as well as bravery. For example, one scene shows his wingman is clearly out flown and freaks on almost no fuel. Maverick is able to talk him back down to the carrier. When his wingman turns in his wings, Maverick is moved up in the standings and sent to the Top Gun Naval Flying School.


Although Maverick struggles to be the best pilot, stepping on the toes of his other students... he basically proves to be the best at the final scene. I thought this film sent a great message to the youths and veterans of America. In my opinion, this movie deserved a 4 out of 5.
