| | a movie that truly shows not just true heroes but, true sacr | angel 04/19/2007 | this movie not only shows true heroes but, true sacrifice. Matthew broderick's role as colonial robert shaw was wonderful. I think he fit the part very well. You can understand what he's feeling. Despite a lot of the sergents/majors that don't treat the black troops the respect they should get, robert continues to work with them & become the best troops they can be. Denzel washington's part was good as well as morgan fredom, and some on cary elwes part as robert's friend. I clearly give this 10 points. The music is always wonderful & goes well with the movie. I felt heartfelt
& touched by the flim & I hope you will enjoy it too. Thank you. And as robert said "may god bless us all. |

| | Roland Emmerich Strikes Again! | 1fatts 04/13/2009 | It is perfectly justifiable not to like Roland Emmerich movies. He seems to believe that subtlety involves using only a two-ton sledgehammer instead of a ten-ton sledgehammer, when a tack hammer will do.
He does to "the monster movie" in Godzilla what he did to "the alien movie" in Indpendence Day and would later do to "the ecology movie" in The Day After Tomorrow." Good special effects; a plot that comes out of a blender; and dialogue written by a ten-year-old and spoken with deep commitment to the "Omigosh, Batman!" school of acting.
But that's the fun of the thing. If you want more, don't spend the money. If you want to watch things blow up or crash or crack or whatever which make no more demands of your wit or intelligence than a Hardy Boys book, you can have some fun. It's like Jackie Chan movies with better special effects and no sense of humour. |
