Like looking the 'original' in a distorted mirror. A very predictable script does not sustain the movie. Dogfights and action scenes sometimes are confused, they were much better in the 1986 movie. But if one look for action, action is served. Too many 'machitos': the scent of testosterone is even stronger than 36 years ago, and the unique female presence in a masculine role is not enough to smooth its smell. Good cast, though, and very credible resemblance between 'Goose' and his son 'Rooster'. Credible performances by everyone. A very sad presence of Val Kilmer who's suffering from a throat cancer in real life, but I think that producers owed him a role in this movie. Young spectators who didn't watch Top Gun release in real time (iI mean, in 1986) will appreciate this release.
