 - not tops, but alrightEh, I don't know about the original Top Gun. I just watched it yesterday for the first time in forever, and I wasn't really happy with it. The part in the beginning where Tom Cruise tries to hit on what would obviously become his girlfriend a short time later was rather pointless, not to mention uninteresting. The whole bar scene with Cruise singing to her, trying to win her over... not very good writing. And the part where he followed her to the ladies room? Please! The actual air combat was good though. The emotions with the guys up in the sky and living dangerously was solid writing because it kept my interest. But the overlong emotional scenes involving Cruise and his girlfriend weren't necessary. Should have been more about taking the planes to the sky instead of a predictable romance that we seen coming a mile away. Rating:  - Completely Biased ReviewRead this review knowing that this is one of my all-time favorite movies. Yes, that's right, I would go outside (age 8), jump on my bike, and take off dreaming of flying those beautiful F-15's. I probably watched it 20 times a years during Jr. High and High School. I have been anticipating this blu-ray release ever since I heard rumor of it's pending release. Althought typical of most 80's HD movies, this one is absolutely beautiful. Is it the best blu-ray for picture and audio? No way. But if you want a quality movie, that's very fun, and in high-def... Get it. You want be dissapointed.

Rating: - Bad CopyI have now owned this movie on VHS, DVD, and now BD. Unfortunately, the copy from the masters is rather grainy for HD. The audio is outstanding, but again, while it obviously looks better than a DVD, this might be one of the worst BD's I've seen since they came out. I know that the masters are 20 years old, but the BD of Halloween looks AMAZING, and that movie is 30 years old. I must admit that I had high hopes, and was a little dissapointed. My reccomendation would be wait until they release the "Special Edition," which I'm sure they undoubtedly will. Side note: extras are all in SD.
