Moviegoers are saying
This aviation blockbuster has sparked intense debate among viewers, with many noting surprisingly prominent homoerotic undertones that range from 'not gay enough' to 'one of the gayest movies ever seen.' Despite mixed ratings averaging around 3.5/10, audiences consistently praise the epic action sequences, stellar cast, and that iconic 'Danger Zone' soundtrack that apparently dominates the entire score.

not just sort of gay, but actually one of the gayest movies i think i’ve ever seen
KarstenJun 9, 2012As Sid (Quentin Tarantino) in Sleep With Me says in one glorious monologue: "Top Gun is fucking great. What is Top Gun? You think it's a story about a bunch of fighter pilots..... It is a story about a man's struggle with his own homosexuality. It is! That is what Top Gun…
JimI might be the only person who's ever noticed this but this movie has gay undertones?????????

mariaMay 9, 2022Inarguably, the most exciting movie ever made about a guy deciding to become a teacher.

So good. Shut up I don’t care about your wrong opinion.
Garrett likedTop GunFirst time ever watching this! The exciting parts are awesome, the slow parts are boring 😴 but glad to check this classic off the list in preparation for the sequel im seeing in a few days
Juan Zarza likedTop GunThe jets on-screen looked awesome, and the quality was pristine for an 80's film. I will say, it was sort of confusing at times deciphering who was fighting in which jet, which made the fight scenes harder to understand. All in all, I give this movie a 6.9. Not exactly a 7 for me

Come on now it’s top gun
Sabrina Bondi likedTop GunTop Gun is a star-studded and visually stimulating sensation that succeeds splendidly as a big-screen spectacle thanks to Tony Scott’s distinguished direction and the charisma of its charming cast. Memorable soundtrack and an overall premise that still holds today.
Jeffmeister is "meh" onTop GunAny old 80s movie but with planes.

Metacritic
This is a movie that comes in two parts: It knows exactly what to do with special effects, but doesn't have a clue as to how two people in love might act and talk and think.
Roger Ebert
Chicago Sun-Times
Top Gun is not so much a movie in the conventional sense as an escalating series of masterfully crafted adverts: motorcycles, aircraft carriers, pectorals and planes all look as if they’ve been shot for a particularly luminous beer campaign.
Adam Smith
Empire
The excitement is switched off on landing. Once Top Gun, which opens today at Loews Astor Plaza and other theaters, gets back to earth, the master of the skies is as clunky as a big land-bound bird.
