Top Gun

i watched this for the first time when i was 16 and immediately hated maverick. he reminded me of all of the immature teenage boys in my grade so he was a difficult protagonist for me to root for; goose made him more likable. i honestly found myself wanting iceman to succeed even though he was supposed to be the bad guy, but val kilmer played the role so well that you can excuse some of the asshole things he did in the beginning and appreciate him; ice was much more of a multi-dimensional character than mav was. anyways, i think that they should have kissed at the end.
