johnnydragon82ie E A solid, no nonsense action flick filled with strong performances and excellent action set pieces. Micheal Bay's sometimes chaotic cinematic formula is at it's very best here. It may be an action movie from a bygone era now, but it positively puts 95% of modern action movies to utter shame. Hanz Zimmer's rousing score is a delight. Rated 4.5/5 Stars •  Rated 4.5 out of 5 stars 05/05/25 Full Review Fer S It's absolutely ridiculous, but at least the first half or so is very fun and it has some great pacing. The music is amazing, but it goes to waste after the first half, like the movie itself. I guess they diverted the focus to some mindless action. Rated 2.5/5 Stars •  Rated 2.5 out of 5 stars 04/03/25 Full Review Ralph R The Rock (1996) is a solid action-packed ride from start to finish. The plot is straightforward but executed well, with a strong first act that sets everything up nicely. The pacing keeps things moving without dragging, and there's a good balance between intense action and quieter moments that build character relationships. The script is solid, delivering sharp dialogue and a few memorable lines that stick with you long after the credits roll. Michael Bay’s direction is exactly what you’d expect, high-energy, explosive, and visually dynamic. The cinematography has that gritty yet polished look that works perfectly for this kind of movie, making the action sequences feel immersive and intense. Bay’s signature camera movements and framing give everything a larger-than-life feel, keeping the tension high. The sound design and score are fantastic, elevating the emotional beats and the action without overpowering the scenes. The performances are a big part of what makes The Rock work so well. Sean Connery has an undeniable screen presence, bringing charisma and weight to his role, while Nicolas Cage delivers a strong performance that balances his character’s intelligence and unpredictability. Ed Harris also stands out, adding depth to a character that could have easily been one-dimensional. With great action sequences, strong performances, and a tight script, The Rock is a top-tier action movie that holds up incredibly well. Rated 4.5/5 Stars •  Rated 4.5 out of 5 stars 02/20/25 Full Review thiago s Filme mais ou menos, o roteiro é fraco, o filme tem cenas de ação bacaninhas, o elenco é bom, mas quase nao ajuda a melhorar o filme e os personagens são mais ou menos, com tudo isso eu não recomendo esse filme. Rated 1/5 Stars •  Rated 1 out of 5 stars 02/15/25 Full Review william s I remember loving this movie as a kid and just watched it again for the first time in ages. It, uh, didn't exactly hold up and I think it's fair to say it's not actually a great movie. But, it is a hell of a lot of fun. Everything is just over the top. Nic Cage gives a very Nic Cage performance (bordering on just straight bad) and Michael Bay was just running around blowing up everything in sight. I mostly found myself just laughing at the stupidity But again, still had a good time. Rated 3/5 Stars •  Rated 3 out of 5 stars 03/18/25 Full Review Shaun R This film doesn't start great but quickly becomes a 90's classic as soon as they land on Alcatraz. One of the best high octane actions of that era. Rated 4/5 Stars •  Rated 4 out of 5 stars 01/14/25 Full Review Read all reviews
