I saw the original Top Gun when it was released and I was a kid, so of course it blew me away (great music! Dogfights! Need for speed!) and I saw the newest one the weekend of its release in IMAX.
Yes, the movie is heavy on nostalgia, but it paid more attention to the jets and the technology, which I liked. Also, the romance wasn't cheesy or forced, which I also liked.
Bringing in Val was a nice touch, he obviously earned to be in it.
The flying scenes were great and it was more self-aware. I thought it was fantastic. I think the RT ratings accurately represented it. It is a fun summer movie.
