What the audience says
Top Gun is a solid, watchable English film that mostly delivers on what it promises. It holds a 7.1/10 on TMDB from 9,954 ratings, well above what most films manage.
Should you spend 1h 50m on it?
1h 50m of English action with drama threaded through, not one for younger kids. That score holds across 9,955 ratings, so it's about as safe as this week's list gets.
- Why
- 7.1/10 over 9,955 ratings — solidly liked rather than loved, and the number isn't going to move.
- Skip if
- you want a slower, character-led story
