Still one of Tom Cruises best in my opinion, also fairly sure this movie is what sealed his status as a leading Man in Hollywood..this movie also did that for Val Kilmer as well i believe..you might even recognize some other familiar faces playing minor roles, most notably Tim Robbins as the Navigator with the call sign “Merlin” for Maverick in the final scenes…If you love Fighter Planes and anything to do with them, then you MUST watch this..it is a classic in every sense..some of the best Aerial Combat footage ever captured outside of actual combat..also, the F-14 Tomcat is simply a BAD ASS looking Figher Jet..one of my faves anyway lol…This movie inspired me to join Air Cadets with the goal of joining the RCAF (Royal Canadian Air Force) to try and become an F-18 ‘Hornet’ pilot (we don’t use F-14’s here in Canada)..i did my Basic Training in CFB Trenton but failed the eye test..was told i would never fly after that…took me ages to get over that blow because i spent several years of my life dedicated to that goal..anyways, with movies like this, i can still live Vicariously through them LOL..can’t WAIT for the new Top Gun movie to come out this year, with Cruise reprising his role as “Maverick” and supposedly, i hear even Val Kilmer is reprising his role as “The IceMan” though from what i have seen, he is going to have to lose a lot of weight if they want him playing in the cockpit of a plane lol..the only one who looks like he has barely aged out of them all is Cruise, the guy has this perpetually youthful look lol..saw some pics of Kelly McGillis (she played Charlie, Cruises love interest in this movie) not too long ago and HOLY SHIT she did NOT age well..she looks like an 80 yr old methhead..she looked REALLY rough..don’t think there is ANY amount of make-up they could use to make her look her old part as Charlie in this movie..hell, if anything, she would look more like Mavericks great granny then his “wife” or love interest however they ended up after this movie..so i was not surprised when i heard that she would NOT be reprising her role in the new movie..there is only so many miracles they can pull off i guess lol..anyways, Cheers all, thanks for reading my long’ish comment lol..hopefully you are as excited as i am to see the new Top Gun movie!
Canuckian's comments
I know i am 20 yrs late to the party, but the only reason I have never watched this yet is because of how disappointing the ending supposedly was….and for me, knowing that the ending is NOT good, that it leaves too many unanswered questions etc. BEFORE i even watch a show is normally a deal breaker..but so few shows had the fan base as The Sopranos which is why the supposed bad ending was so upsetting at the time..hell, i remember it being all over the news back in the day lol..anyways, i have been looking for something a little older to watch and get into lately and this show came across my watch list so i figured what the hell…so, as a first time Soprano watcher, is there anything i need to know before i get more than 2 episodes in? lol
Having just watched part 2 of the series “Into Darkness”, i just realized that Carol Marcus wasn’t in this movie. At the end of part 2, she had joined the Enterprise for its 5 yr mission and if you remember from the original series of movies, Carol Marcus was the mother of Jim Kirks only son, David whom he never knew but met in Wrath of Khan and was featured in Search for Spock…i don’t know, i just wonder if they completely forgot about her or is there a reason she wasn’t seen at all in this movie yet we all know that there is a personal history connecting her to Kirk.
Holy crap, this episode left me feeling almost depressed lol! That is some messed up stuff!
Binge watched all three of the Hangover movies the last two days and this is the weakest one by far…basically the first was the best, the 2nd was good, this one just fell short unfortunately. I think they tried too hard to get Zacks character Alan to carry this movie and unfortunately it just fell flat to me. Still, they were all fun movies to watch for the most part..the first two will always be the best of the trilogy though i admit, each movie had its best moment..I think my fave character from all three movies was Ed Helms guy STU LOL
Dear God, I just watched season 7 episode 2 and all I have to say is that they’ve completely ruined the show. The snarky sarcasm has been replaced with overly exaggerated observational humor (which takes a lot effort to be successful). The subtlety is gone and now everything has been dumbed down and is constantly being explained as if we’re too stupid to get the humor any other way.
As for the characters, the new Mandy is horrible. While she wasn’t the sharpest tool in the shed, she was without a doubt a competent fashion designer. Now, they’ve reduced her to a ditzy bimbo that has no idea what she’s doing (just watch episode 2), making every single moment she’s on screen a cringe worthy experience. The chemistry between her and Kyle is non existent, which was one of the funniest and most endearing parts of the show.
Kyle was also changed (and I’m not talking about his haircut). Before, he was this sweet kid that wouldn’t hurt a fly and was always considerate of other people’s feelings, even if he had to make sacrifices on his part. That was a huge part of his charm. Now, it just seems like his naivety was changed to emotional ignorance, where he’s not afraid of saying no and doesn’t seem to realize he might offend anyone.
Kristen, this is more of a appearance change which I know some might take offence to, but it just needs to be said. She looks like an old cat lady. ‘Nuff said.
Eve is trying to hard to be macho. Harder than she used to and I’ve no idea why they’re pushing this narrative. It just makes me cringe every time.
Overall, the show has take a huge turn and so far, it doesn’t seem like it is for the better. I’m rating the first 2 episodes at 2/5. Below average. Let’s hope they pick up speed and they bring some of its old charm back or I might just stop watching it all together.
I haven’t watched this show yet, it is on my list of shows to see eventually (have too many on the go atm lol) but was just scrolling through and saw this show had new episodes added and i remember hearing it got cancelled awhile back due to people complaining it was too “politically RIGHT leaning” in its format” and due to Trump being elected, alot of shows were being cancelled if they had ANYTHING right leaning (Roseanne ring a bell?) Anyways, read your comment and i am completely NOT surprised at your observations..this is what they do to “smart” shows..they cancel them, then bring them back all dumbed down for the masses so “everyone” can enjoy it now. I assume Season 6 was the last season before it was cancelled awhile back and Season 7 is the “revival” season with “upgraded” characters? I HATE shows that feel they have to explain every single little joke like we are too dumb to get it..you know what i see that a lot on? KIDS shows, like Nikolodeon shit and YTV and other pre-teen stuff…the jokes are SO dumb on those shows, even for pre-teens, i don’t think they give enough credit to how intelligent they really are and it makes you wonder why they all seem so dumbed down nowadays..well, look at the “quality” of their entertainment they are given..ugh, makes me sick, it really does. Did they use Canned Laughter in the new seasons here? You know a show is REALLY done when they use canned laughter lol..anyways, thanks to your comment, i know now that if i DO ever get into this show, i may stop at Season 6 and leave it at that…Cheers mate
This is a very cool movie, remember watching it with my Dad when i was a kid, about 8 yrs old i think, and i remember asking him all the time if this movie was based on a real story lol…the imaginations of kids eh? Anyways, it is a bit of a slow burn, but a very cool movie. Give it a go on a lazy Sunday or something. 7/10
If you like this you might also like:
Alpha 2018, Iceman - Der Mann aus dem Eis 2017, Quest for Fire 1981, and, Clan of the Cave Bear (also a book series).
Seen Quest for Fire, it is one of my childhood faves just like this movie is..never heard of the others though, will gladly check them out, thanks for the reference! Cheers!
WOW!! I haven’t seen this in AGES!! Can’t believe someone added it here! I completely forgot about this classic horror! Ian McKellan (Gandalf, Magneto) and Jurgen Prochnow (Beverly Hills Cop 2, Das Boot) are both AMAZING actors…i haven’t seen this since i was very young so i am sure this will be an entirely new experience for me..if you haven’t seen this, i highly suggest giving it a go..can be a bit slow, but it really does keep you edge of your seat at time. GREAT old movie!
The Dragon CGI combined with live-action prop/stop motion photography is absolutely stunning considering it is a movie done in 1981.. IMO it could stand up to most movies in this genre even compared to Today’s standards. It has a decent story, decent script and as i said, the Dragon scenes are fantastic to watch, especially the big fight scene in the Dragons den. I remember this movie from when i was a little kid and it was the first of its kind i ever saw, and most likely is the movie that began my life long love of all things Fantasy. Don’t let the fact it was made by Disney throw you off, this has some pretty intense scenes (the part with the Princess who lost her “footing” in the cave ;) ) This movie was a collaboration between Paramount and Disney so you can see that it has pretty high production value. Anyway, all that aside, this remains one of my favorite movies as a kid and even today, i always come back to watch it at least once a year, usually around this time of year too though i don’t know why..it isn’t exactly a Christmas movie lol. If you like Fantasy and Dragons and magic and all that, and you have not seen Dragonslayer yet, i suggest giving it a watch, you won’t be disappointed. I give this a solid 8/10 all the way across the board.
There are only 3 chapters, right? If so, then all 3 are here on episode/chapter 1…using the mixdrop link, it is 2hrs and 58 min long, so that would be the entire thing :) At this point we had to pause after watching the first 2 chapters, we are going to watch the last one tomorrow night, but let me tell you, we are REALLY enjoying this! It is the same great story, but with a much darker tone…not evil by any means, don’t get me wrong, but it deals with “sensitive” subject matter at times and the audience gets to see just how bad Scrooge was during his galavanting with the Ghosts…he did some pretty terrible stuff, much worse than anything Alistair Sims Scrooge did by any means lol..anyways, my point is, the is a much more modern, adult take on the story, and i think they absolutely nailed it..they didn’t rewrite it at all, it isn’t a “re-imagining” like Hollywood likes to do nowadays, it is more of an upgrade i think. Anyways, give it a go, you shant be disappointed! Think this might be added to to the MUST WATCH Christmas movies list we have every year! (only this one will be for after the kids go to bed lol)
This movie is probably one of my absolute FAVORITE Denzel movies..this and Training Day…this movie loosely follows the same premise as The Equalizer, another great Denzel movie. If you haven’t seen this movie and enjoyed the aforementioned movie, then you need to watch this…it is on a whole ‘nother level. It has one of the happiest yet saddest endings ever, and you really get invested in all the characters here. I will always give this movie a solid 10/10. CHEERS!
HAHA! Yeah, that’s right, it was you I swiped that from! Used it on a couple social media posts to good effect as well, got a couple good chuckles from it. :) Gonna try here at the Portland Public Library (Maine) eventually, got a lot going on at the moment with the holidays, that and some asshole tried a payday loan into my bank account, actually got it there, but couldn’t get it out, so sending it back to the source tomorrow,have to re do my accounts to be safe. Already sussed out how I got compromised and corrected it. Can’t even blink a little these days….
WOW, glad you caught it in time…technology is great, but you really do ahve to watch everything so closely nowadays..one misstep and your entire life can be compromised..the good with the bad i guess eh? I wish i could remember who i “borrowed” the Daft Moonfruit phrase from, can’t remember now, but i use it when i can..it is my fave thing to say but it has to be used sparingly so as to keep it a unique insult LOL…Merry Christmas my friend, hope you get everything “sussed” out ;)
Back in the 90s, yes. Before I spoke English o.0
That is awesome..i ordered the books through the public library, waiting to read them lol..so in the books, it actually says that humans were brought to that universe from OUR universe(so to speak?) So the Conjunction of spheres, when it was originally just elves i believe on that continent, actually brought humans as well as monsters to that place? and the humans came from OUR world?
Again, you’re both ignorant of the books from the 1990s, and the backstory. Yes, black people were in the Witcher novels - because all the humans you see, descended from the humans on our world - who had been transported to that world some 1500 years before the events of The Witcher.
If you’re now going to say “but black people did not exist in the dark ages” and other such shite.. just sit your dumbasses down and don’t say shit.
I just finished the last episode, was further along then I thought I was, really can’t wait for the next season. Got me thinking about trying to get the books inter library loan. Have not done any real reading in a good while, might do me some good. Am American myself by the way; don’t judge us all on account of that idiot…we’re not all daft moonfruits.
Daft Moonfruit!! There it is again LOL!! LOVE IT LOL!! As for your idea of getting the Witcher books from the library, i thought the same thing and went to reserve a copy of the first book through the Toronto Pub;lic Library web site..looks like i wasn’t alone in that thinking though lol..there are like 8 copies in the system of the first book and i am number 6 hundred and something in line LOL..so yeah, i hope you have better luck than I!! Might just have to go out and buy it since it looks like we might be waiting until 2021 for another season…don’t quote me on that, i just remember reading it on someones post somewhere on FB lalaland lol.
Thank you for the review. I am a big fan myself. I can’t wait to watch!!
No prob! Thanks for..well, saying thanks! lol! I thoroughly enjoyed this, i already binged all 8 episodes (wish there were MORE!!) and i feel like it only wet my appetite! Cheers Skyehawk!
From what i can tell, this first season all takes place previous to The Witcher 3 Wild Hunt for PS4..that is the only Witcher game i have played. From what i know, this season basically starts at the very beginning and shows how he met all the people who would come to play important roles in his life, most importantly Yennifer and Cirilla (Ciri) and introduces characters such as Dandelion and Triss Merigold. You can watch this without reading anything and enjoy it immensley as this is VERY well done. Of course, if you have read the books or played a game, you would understand the little things like what is in those potions that Geralt drinks and WHY he drinks them plus, i guess you will just recognize names and places from them..other than that though, you can come into this knowing nothing and still enjoy it. I hope you like it as much as i did! I jsut finished binge watching all 8 episodes and trust me, i am left wanting SO much more LOL!
Ok, here we GO!! Been waiting for this for ages, SO excited right now! From all i have heard, this stays quite true to the source material (The BOOKS, not the game). Thanks to all who made this happen! and THANK YOU to those who added the links! This is practically an early Christmas present for me LOL!
Cont.- Ok, just watched the First episode and that opening scene was AMAZING! The sword fighting in this is some of the best choreography i have ever seen and VERY reminiscent of his fighting style from the game that i remember. So far, this is everything i hoped it would be, including the Political intrigue that is a major part of Geralts story. If you are a fan of The Witcher books or even just the game (like me lol) then you will NOT be disappointed!
Awesome, been waiting for this since 2016 when they released the short to garner funding through Indiegogo…It took a couple years but it was totally worth the wait. This was a great flick, Stephen and Robbie Amell have great chemistry (helps that they are cousins ofc). Looking forward to the Code 8 series that i hears Netflix is coming out with…wonder what direction that is going to take…either way, i will be waiting anxiously!
Omg cringe at 1000% , this episode sucked harder than the last jedi. The twi’lek are suppose to be good looking not ugly and disgusting and the other sister played by a goddamn man. And Bill Burr… He can’t act for 1 cent. I love him as a comedian but as an actor he should get prison and fired. He ruined this whole episode and the ‘’crew’’ the one that wrote this episode should get a blaster to the nuts. I was embarrassed to even watch it. It was pure dogshit. How can a show this good go down this bad? It was just crap. 100% crap. 0/10
Other sister? She was there to rescue her brother, she said as much..that wasn’t a man playing her sister, that was a man playing her brother..also, she was kind of evil, and she had an evil look about her so i thought it was quite appropriate.
Thank You for adding the mixdrop link! I was having issues with onlystream, too many ads and popups…mixdrop has been my go to for the last several weeks. Cheers for this!
DVD quality with Asian subs…Awesome, been looking forward to watching this! This was a fun movie to watch and i love the comedic take on the Zombie genre that started with the first Zombieland, but i still find the first movie to be better…this is totally worth watching though, it’s just that the first Zombieland is one of my all time faves lol. Thanks uploaders!
In my defence, I spoke out of excited anticipation for a longer episode. After all the 32 min episodes, it just felt good to have a 42 min one. I apologize for getting over excited to watch an extra TEN minutes of my fave show on atm.
NICE!! A full on 42 min episode, an EXTRA TEN MINUTES longer than the others! Does this mean it was a season finale maybe? I HOPE not!! Also, i just realized, the guy who created this series is Jon Favreau, the guy who most recently plays HAPPY in the Iron Man movies (Starks bodyguard and the guy dating Aunt May in the new Spiderman movie)..cool lol…guess he is a Star Wars Fanboy! This was a GREAT episode..AGAIN! They really do just keep getting better and better! Still love Baby Yoda lol (though of course he isn’t Yoda)..don’t know what race Yoda was..then again, maybe he is Yoda reincarnated!? (Plot Twist!!)
Damn…what an episode! When i first got into this show, i had never heard of it and thus, i didn’t expect much..i only started watching it when the first season was almost done, so i was able to binge almost the entire first season, and it totally BLEW my expectations away! I thought meh, i like Vikings lore so i will give it a chance, and i am SO glad i did!! I almost wish i had never heard of it until now, so i could binge all the seasons at once!! This IS my fave show right now..and i rank it up there with shows like Game of Thrones and The Expanse (i know, total polar opposites lol) I hope we get to see what happened to Floki after last season…I am sure when they DO bring Floki back (they HAVE to give some closure there, they can’t leave it like they did last season) he is going to come out with a BANG. Until next week then!
I saw the twist coming near the end, but i was TOTALLY wrong regarding the person involved…that was a GREAT episode! Truth be told, female serial killers really are the rarest of Unicorns, there has only been a handful throughout known history comparatively speaking. Can’t WAIT to see next episode, it’s gonna go DOWN!! I HATE mid season finales!! Gotta wait until February! ACK!!
YES! Dropped the first two episodes already! MAN this made my day! So sad that this is reportedly the final season, i am REALLY going to miss this show…so brutal, so real…I really miss Ragnar, but Bjorn is something else i tell ya. Can’t WAIT to see what happens this season!
Thanks You whoever added links for this classic sci-fi Fantasy! I requested it just the other day and you made it happen! You uploaders ROCK! This brings back so many memories from my youth…this came out at a time when this genre was not mainstream in Hollywood like it is nowadays…this was ahead of its time in my books, a true Adventure story with Good vs Evil and Heroes and magic horses and cyclops…need i keep going? WATCH IT! If you enjoyed movies like Willow, then you will love this. The scene with the old man in the swamp and the black eyes always creeped me out lol…a SOLID 10/10 from me mostly for nostialgic reasons but also because it is a damn fun movie to watch.
I remember the Denna story arc from the first book..it was brutal and one of my fave parts of the book Wizards First Rule…i hope they stay fairly true to it in this episode as it was a MAJOR event in Richards first months as Seeker in the books and has long lasting effects on the Seeker and MAN he becomes in the later books in the series…well, here’s to hoping…diving in…
Directed by Bryce Dallas Howard, the daughter of famed Director RON Howard and the actress most recently seen in the 2 most recent Jurassic World movies as the haughty but determined Claire starring alongside Chris Pratt. Cool. Anyways, another awesome episode! This is better than episodes 1, 2 and 3 of the SW movies and its only 4 episodes in! This is the Way.
It only took a few episodes, but i finally know why this show makes me feel nostialgic even though i have never seen it until now..it reminds me of Xena and Hercules!! It has almost the EXACT same production style and feel that those old 90’s shows had..and seeing Sam Raimi (he played Joxer in Xena) in the last episode sealed it for me lol. If you loved watching Xena and Hercules back in the day, then you will love this..it has the exact same campy feel as they did…oh, and I am REALLY glad that they didn’t gloss over or change the connection between Zed and Richard…honestly, i was worried they might have left that out since they are leaving out a LOT when it comes to Richard and those around him and their connections.
Even after only a couple episodes, this show has stayed fairly true to the source material, though very superficially. As usual, the books are SO much more in depth and have the latitude to delve farther into details and relationships between the characters than a 42 min show can..ie. the relationship between Zed and Adie for example…in the books, they knew each other quite well yet in the show, Zed has no clue who she is in the last episode…so yeah, stuff like that. As for the relationship between Richard and Kahlen, it took the entire first book before they became close like they already have in only 2 episodes, so it is DEFINITELY moving much faster. Still, it is kinda neat to see characters i know well on screen lol. Glad i found this show.
This was a damn good series when I watched it…one of the few I’ve watched multiple times through and through (like Eureka).
I was in my teens when I saw it, but I’d still recommend it to anyone who loves Adventure/Fantasy.
HOLY CRAP HOW have i never heard of this before!! I just finished The Pillars of Creation in the Sword of Truth book series, and it is right up there in my faves along with the Wheel of Time book series (which i PRAY they make into a series or series of movies one day!!) I am SO pumped to watch this now!!! But, why only two seasons? Surely they didn’t cover the entire series, i mean, in the books, Darken Rahl was defeated rather early in the book series…without giving any spoilers, can you give me a clue as to the timeline this show takes place in relevance to the books?
IMO still one of the BEST sci-fi horror movies ever made along with the original of course..the first Alien was more suspense/horror, this was more action/horror but both done perfectly. There have been rumors of a revitalization of the Alien timeline where they pick up where THIS one left off thus rendering Alien 3 and that god awful Resurrection null and void, like they never happened. Supposedly, one of the ideas thrown around were about an older Newt picking up the Torch where Ripley left off and an older Hicks being a big part of it…Weaver was reportedly willing to go for it, even went as far as having story boards and props made up, but it got lost in red tape and has been in limbo for quite some time…i really wish they would do it though..no more of this Prometheus crap, give me some Newt and Hicks!
I don’t know why exactly, but I just love this show. Never been an “ER” kinda guy or any Hospital show kinda guy, but this one has me hooked for some reason.
The last 30 minutes still give me the goosebumps even after seeing this movie dozens of times..Definitely one of my fave Westerns and fave movies in general. Clint Eastwood, the Icon..the Legend. 10/10
I don’t think there is a 90’s movies Top 10 list that doesn’t have this amazing movie on it. This movie is damn near perfect except for ONE small oversight…the fires burning on the Independance shuttle after it landed on the asteroid…no oxygen means no fire…but other than that, there is nothing not to love about Armageddon…that scene between Father and daughter near the end always gets me. EASILY 10/10
LOVED it!! Especially the end, i was practically whooping with joy LOL!! For all those in future wanting to make something in the Star Wars Universe, take a page from the Mandalorian..THIS IS THE WAY!! 10/10!
English subs have been added!! WOOT! Thank You! Loved it!! Stallone’s still got it! For a guy in his 70’s, he is still rockin it!!
Anyone know when more episodes are coming out? This show came out of nowhere for me and i am loving every episode!
This is one of the most iconic sci-fi movies of the 20th century..one of the best things about reading the Top Recent Comments section here is that once in awhile i will catch the title of a movie that i have forgotten all about yet at one point it was one of the most influential movies i had ever seen…this movie is one of those. This is the movie that introduced a lifelong love of all things sci-fi into my life. I haven’t seen this movie in years..forgot all about it to be honest, so YAY, i know what i am watching tonight! Cheers guys!
Television shows, since their inception, have been nothing more than a tool to advertise.
Ok, I honestly don’t think your comment could sound more arrogant you bloody Moonfruit.. thank you for the redundant history lesson that I am WELL aware of and for downvoting my comment and the replies to my comment..I pointed it out because it was LITERALLY shot like a commercial hence the SARCASTIC comparison i made. I suggest you go to a children’s chatroom and educate them, ok? I REALLY hate people that try and come across as “I-know-it-all-and-you-know-nothing” types or those who feel the need to spout random WELL-KNOWN facts and act like they know more than you. Please, take it elsewhere. Oh, and for the record, if you hadn’t arrogantly downvoted all our comments along with your reply, you would probably have gotten a much different response from me. Downvoting all of us shows that you are arrogant and that you feel we didn’t know this so our observations were made moot. If you weren’t able to catch on to the sarcastic edge to my original comment, well, i don’t know…guess i can’t help you there. I would refrain in the future from going on to a MOVIE site and educating fellow MOVIE-LOVERS about the “History” of television and visual media, k?
Few episodes back they did some “Galaxy’s Edge” product placement. The marketing is strong with this one.
Ok, so if that opening 1 minute wasn’t a shout out to the new Toyota Tundra, then i don’t know what “PRODUCT PLACEMENT” is LOL..wonder how much they paid for that? Talk about working a commercial into a show…then they play their commercials during the ACTUAL commercial slot and get double the exposure! That was shameless of them LOL
A tragic story about a DMCA pirate who was more robin hood then anything else. Dmca has become a plague of sorts, what you can and cannot do,what you can know and what you cannot know.So much information that could change the world and save peoples lives,hidden away unless you pay a hefty price for it.

TY RP, like MM, i have been waiting for a good copy to see this as well!
