“I donu0026#39;t know for sure but after reading all of these comments at least half of them seem to come from the same person using different handles. All seem to say the same thing that this tried to be a Top Gun with helicopters. I really didnu0026#39;t see any comparison to Top Gun whatsoever. No more than there were people flying and there was a love story. Someone mentioned the Iron Eagle series. If one copied the other it was probably Top Gun copying Iron Eagle Since Iron Eagle came out 3 – 4 months earlier. u003cbr/u003eu003cbr/u003eI just got finished watching this movie Which I saw originally on NBC. u003cbr/u003eu003cbr/u003eI thought originally that this was a Made for TV movie for some reason but I guess after reading here that it was put out at the theaters. I would have loved to have seen it on the big screen but admit I would not want to pay 7 dollars to see it. IT still rates better than 1 or 2 stars and all the bad insults it is getting here. I agree with one of the people that posted here that it would go great as a u0026quot;Movie for Guyu0026#39;s who like moviesu0026quot; As a guy I love movies with action. I am not in the army and know a u0026quot;Littleu0026quot; about the equipment. I am not a fighter pilot though and am not in the military. As a civilian I love this movie as an action movie. If I wanted to see realistic and authentic representations of Millitiary equipment Iu0026#39;ll go to the History Channel. If I wanu0026#39;t an action movie with just the right amount of comedy and romance Iu0026#39;ll go see fire birds again.u003cbr/u003eu003cbr/u003eIs it realistic? NO Is it fun? Yes Is it accurate? No are there some corny lines? Yeah but let me ask you this. All these people talking about Top gun being so big… how many pilots would really fly upside down and flip off a Russian and take itu0026#39;s picture? how many pilots would really do those kinds of fly byu0026#39;s and still be in the Navy? and I wonu0026#39;t go into the corny lines from that movie. u003cbr/u003eu003cbr/u003eAll in all Firebirds is deserving of just as much respect based on itu0026#39;s merits as a fun action/romance movie as is Top Gun without comparing them to each other.”
