Impossible to be completely objective. This mega hit from the bygone era when I entered adolescence achieved legendary status all over the world back then. Tom Cruise was a bona fide superstar. He took up a cue ,kids wanted to become pool players. He worked as a bartender,kids wanted to become bartennders and mix cocktails the same way. No doubt after Top Gun many a kid wanted to become a fighter pilot. The cast is great,the stunts are formidable,the military lingo and spirit are fine,even if slightly dated. The plot is predictable but ok. The music memorable. The lines legendary!!!One of the most enjoyable films of my generation. The 202(?).. sequel is a better film but it builds upon the freshness and the legend of this unforgettable blockbuster!!!
