A TRIBUTE to Top Gun

Rating: 9/10 (7 May 2006)

This movie had a lot of TOP GUN tributes. One was the scene where he drives a MOTORCYCLE to the airport?? That was EXACTLY like TOP GUN! Or at the beginning? When he shook the martini shaker? That was JUST LIKE - COCKTAIL!! Now, let's move on! This movie DTG!! (Delivered the Goods). I loved it from BEGINNING TO END. This movie had all the elements of a good movie: A beginning, middle and END! Phillip Seymore Hoffman (who is nothing short of a genius) was PERFECTLY CAST as a villain! He delivers more goods than any villain ever. The best part was when he instantly asks Tom Cruise if he has a wife or girlfriend and then says: "Because I am going to hurt her." What a great line! The scenes in CHINA were amazing also! Talk about VERTIGO! There was an element of suspense through the entire movie! Tom Cruise may have been bit by the BUG of SCIENTOLOGY but he delivers the GOODS! He DELIVERS I TELL YOU! The explosion in the girls HEAD was amazing ALSO! Talk about PAIN! the PAIN she must have felt! Her EYE looked all MESSED UP when the little explosive WENT OFF. This was a great movie and I WANT TO SEE MORE of these TYPES OF FLICKS! This better be the BEGINNING of a GREAT SUMMER MOVIE SPREE!
