A complete waste of time.

* Weak script; * Poor performances (even from the lead character).

* Some nice flying - yes.

But the rest is not worth it.

I guess people have fond memories of the original Top Gun movie, which was original, and much better indeed. This version is made just for the box-office.

Racial and gender diversity is added, probably with the intention to reach wider demographic. Adds little to the plot.

I did fall asleep 3 times while watching, and found myself asking the question 'Why am I even watching this?'

As someone funnier than me summed it up: "Two-hour propaganda ad for defense contractors, militaristic, jingoism, and bombing foreigners." "The weapons porn"

Not that I expected much of Tom Cruise, but I saw reviews saying the remake was better than the original, so I fell for that.

No, it's not better. It's much worse.

Save yourself some disappointment, and see a real good movie.
