"Top Gun" follows naval pilots on their journey's and learning experiences in the Navy. It follows one man in particular, Pete Mitchell, also known as Maverick. While it shows their struggles and hardships in their flight training it also follows him through struggles in his personal life.
Pete Mitchell, also known as Maverick, is one of the men in the Navy who is chosen to get sent to one of the best training camps. He and his partner "Goose" are sent to Top Gun. Here they go through intense training and compete to be the very best. His time spent here is filled with constant competition. While here he also runs into a woman at the bar who he's instantly drawn over to. After trying to get her attention he later discovers that she is also part of the Navy. The movie focuses a large portion on the love story between the two while still intertwining his flight experiences.
None of the acting was bad but none of it really stood out either. At some parts it seemed like some of the actors were trying too hard. Tom Cruise is a good actor but throughout the film there were certain parts where I felt he looked like he was trying too hard. I felt his character was very cocky and conceited at times. In general the majority of the actors did a fine job.
I liked the movie and it was able to keep my attention throughout the entire thing. At first I thought it would be more about the war and Navy but it was concentrated largely on the love story between Maverick and Charlie. I felt that threw a lot of people off and that's why there were more complaints. Personally, I enjoyed it and it was able to keep my attention.
Anyone would be able to enjoy this movie because it has a little bit of everything. It has both action and a love story so it can grab the attention of multiple audiences. The movie is rated PG. Overall I enjoyed the movie.
4 out of 5 stars
