In reply to broken spectre:
Sometimes a mindless action film is just the ticket.
I have no doubt at all that over Christmas the Mrs will want to watch battleships again (she likes the pretty men) and I will watch it, enjoy it and I don't mind admitting get a little lump in my throat when Thunderstruck strikes up and the old boys bring the big boat out to play.
Escapism can be a wonderful thing.
RE the new top gun. I only go to the cinema once every few years, I prefer to wait and watch it at home but Top Gun was my first cinema trip without parents and there is something about a big action blockbuster on the big screen you just can't beat so I might go see it.
