"Top Gun" works best as a sort of time capsule, a window into a pretty spectacular decade for big-budget filmmaking.March 08, 2011
Top Gun is about the training of the Navy's best fighter pilots and their blooding in cold war incidents, and the only thing Director Tony Scott has not brought up to date is the story.March 08, 2011
Every moment is hyped for maximum visual and visceral impact, but Scott doesn't display the slightest bit of interest (or belief) in the actual characters and situations.February 07, 2013

Whether you love Top Gun or hate it -- or hate yourself for loving it -- the fact is that when it became the top-grossing film of 1986, Hollywood in its infinite wisdom took all of the worst lessons from its success and overlooked what made it so... fun.May 02, 2017
Could Top Gun actually be a portrait of the dark side of American individualism?
