I like it better. A lot better, and I love the OG Top Gun. A lot of it has to do with the technological advances since the first was made, and Tom's ambitious plan to put all the actors/actresses in the actual cockpits during the flight scenes, but the storyline is so damn good, too.

Personally, it's one of the best movies ever made IMO. My dad and I saw it on a Saturday a few weeks ago. I had to drag him to the theaters, cause he was gonna wait for the streaming/Blu Ray version (not a huge fan of theaters). I called him the next morning, exactly 24 hours since we saw it, and he was on his way to see it again. The number of people I know that have seen it multiple times is ridiculous.
