Review of Top Guns

Top Guns (2011 Video)
4/10
The Worst of Both Worlds
21 July 2023
Warning: Spoilers
I went in with high expectations. I thought it might be a parody with sex or a sex movie with plot. It was neither. It was more like an El Camino - the worst of both worlds. If you want plot watch Caligula. If you want parody watch Hot Shots. If you want to see what it looks like when everyone is out of their element then watch Top Guns. The dialogue is awful, the VFX are awful, the scene for scene rip offs are awful, the constant 30g readout on the HUD was awful... the list of awfulness goes on.

Lets talk about the good stuff. The stock footage at the beginning was well placed. The variety of beautiful girls was impressive. The theme of female empowerment through teamwork in a hyper competitive environment was wonderful.

The list of positives in this movie is short and undistinguished. If you told me the five page script for this movie was written by the first chat GPT precursor in 2011 I would believe it.

The bad guys in the movie were from North Korea. Of course they did this so they could make a meta sequel similar to The Interview where the cast is hunted down in real life by North Korean agents. Just kidding. You cant salvage this. I took my signed copy to the nearest thrift store. They refused to accept it. Rightfully so. They don't make them like this any more for good reason.
