"Top Gun"

Title: "Top Gun"
By: Jordan Evans
    "Top Gun" by Tony Scott may be the cheesiest movie I have ever watched. It's a typical 1980s romance drama action movie. It involves actors such as Tom Cruise, Val Kilmer, and actress Kelly McGillis. Everything about this movie was bad.
     "Top Gun" is one of those every day typical 1980s movie. It involved a cheesy romance and a little bit of action. Tom Cruise, who plays Maverick played a bad boy aircraft pilot, who never completely followed the rules and took many risks. He and his co pilot Goose were enrolled into Top Gun, and rivalved to become the best pilots in all of Top Gun. They rivaled against Iceman who was played by Val Kilmer and Hollywood who was played by Whip Hubley. There was also a cheesy love romance between Maverick and Charlie.
     The whole historic aspect of "Top Gun" is that there is actually an academy for The United States Navy Strike Fighter Tactics Instructor program (SFTI program), more popularly known as Topgun. It teaches fighter and strike tactics and techniques to selected Naval Aviator and Naval Flight Officer's, who return to their operating units as instructors. The movie was based off of a true reality, but you know with any Hollywood film, they have to add cheesy romance and some type of rivalry.
     With any Hollywood film there is always historical inaccuracies and accuracy's involved. An accuracy in "Top Gun" is that Topgun is an actual real life program. There are also inaccuracies such as there was no man on man combat in real Topgun. A F-14 would never out class an A-4 aircraft. These are little things, but they are Hollywood screw ups.
     I would rate "TopGun" as a .5 out of 5. I did not like anything about this movie. Tom Cruise is overrated, and his character was a punk. I can't believe that this movie was considered to be a good movie. All the actors, and actress were terrible at acting, and they wasted there time with this film. They also played the same three songs throughout the whole movie. I got tired after they played the same song in every dog fight. "Highway through the danger zone' was soooooooo overplayed, and that song killed this movie even more than the acting did.
