I liked the nostalgic aesthetic and references of stranger things, it never felt gratuitous. Top gun had a lot of shot for shot callbacks and filler scenes/shots that could have been edited down/out to make for a tighter movie. It's like they couldn't decide if they wanted it to be a sequel or a remake, so they said "why not both?"
