Rating: Summary: Good Movie But DVD Is Only Pan & Scan. Review: Forever Young is a very nice movie about a man who is cryogenicly frozen and forgotten about until around 50 years later and is found by a young boy and his mother. The movie has a great cast including, Mel Gibson, Jamie Lee Curtis, Elijah Wood and George Wendt who played Norm on Cheers. It's a nice movie but unfortunately the DVD is in the pan & scan format only and not widescreen so hopefully they will put out a widescreen version too.
Rating: Summary: Forever Young will be a favorite forever. Review: Forever Young kicks ... Mel Gibson, Jamie Lee Curtis, and Elijah Wood star in the fun and emotional movie. I loved this movie, really, you will absolutly adore this movie. Gibson and Curtis give incredible preformances. Elijah Wood is amazingly adorable and an incredible actor for his young age. This movie, is seriously, so adorable. It leaves you crying and smiling at the same time, it's kinda weird, but soo cool. I can not express how much i like this movie.
Rating: Summary: A pleasant surprise Review: Hmmmm.....a Mel Gibson movie that doesn't involve action, blood, and guts in abundance?? Didn't think they made such a thing! But "Forever Young" fits that description exactly. This family-friendly movie stars Gibson as a air force test pilot in 1939 who struggles with how to propose to his girlfriend. When tragedy strikes, Daniel (Gibson) is lost without her, and no longer has the will to continue in life. So, he volunteers for a top-secret project that will take him "out of the picture" for a year. He reappears in 1992, and faces culture shock that leaves a pain in the viewer's heart without appearing as tacky as flicks like EncinoMan or Blast from the Past. With the morals and values of 1939, Daniel tries to survive in this strange new world of answering machines, girlfriend-assaulters, and change. Two boys and Jamie Lee Curtis provide supporting roles. The end will wrench your heart, as a strange twist brings the bits and pieces together as they should be. But, you'll just have to watch it. Perfect for a lazy Sunday afternoon.
Rating: Summary: Love the script, and the best actor around Review: I liked the movie alot,but my only wish is, I want the soundtrack
Rating: Summary: Wonderful film, but yet another WB full-screen transfer... Review: I liked this film enough to buy it on a widescreen laserdisc (remember those?). Why-oh-why does Warner Brothers DVD division insist on continuing to crank out good movies like this in full-screen format? It actually takes MORE effort to transfer a film in pan-and-scan than it does to simply transfer it in it's orignal aspect ratio. I am waiting to buy this film on DVD if it ever comes out in widescreen, but until then I am boycotting all WB full-screen DVD's regardless of how good the movie is. That is the only way they will wake up and get the message: WE WANT WIDESCREEN OR BOTH VERSIONS ON ONE DVD; NOT FULL-SCREEN ONLY!
Rating: Summary: This is a great movie thanks to a great performance by Mel. Review: I loved this movie. It was very touching and sad. The cast takes the movie and makes it believable. Mel Gibson gives a stunning performance. Everyone who loves a good romance/comedy should see this movie. 2 thumbs up!
Rating: Summary: Amazing Review: I saw this movie back in what, 1st or 2nd grade? To this day, it hasn't lost a thing in my eyes. It's a great movie about the power of love and sacrifice. It also brings up ethical questions that seem more relevant now that cloaning probably isn't far away. It's about a man (Mel Gibson) who's girl gets killed. He doesn't want to live without her, so he becomes a human popsicle. Mr. Gibson and Elijah Wood give great performances in this sci-fi romance. Equal only to 'The Man Without a Face.' Tons better than the chick-flick 'Titanic.'
Rating: Summary: One of Elijah's best movies! Review: I thought that this movie was an asweme movie! The reason why I wanted to watch it was because I knew it had Elijah Wood in it as a young and fearless boy names Mat. He is about 8 or 9 maybe even 10 years old. It doesn't take but two minuents to really get into it and to think it is interisting. You won't want to have any introuptions while you watch it. You'll want to see it over and over again and again. It is very exiting and it even has some romance in it for theose of you who love romance.
Rating: Summary: I hate to be negative, but... Review: I'm so sorry to all those who love this movie, but I cannot in any amount of words describe the absolute revulsion I felt when watching this movie... and I'm a girl, too! As there was nothing on at two o' clock on a Saturday in Seattle, I found this flick and figured, as a Mel Gibson film, it would be a time-killing bang-bang action flick or at least an intelligent movie, until my soccer game went into full swing. Certainly it was a time-killer... it murdered two hours of time that I should have been watching reruns of Saturday Night Live instead! Not only is this the absolute wretchedness of a Mel Gibson movie (even What Women Want was better!), with its boring relationships and dull characters (Jamie Lee Curtis strived to find her character, and Gibson led a valiant effort to rescue the film, but that boy was as miserable a kid as you could possibly find. In the top ten "Most Despised Characters" in a movie, that kid is right behind the blonde from Jurassic Park 3), I even resorted to watching "Sharkey's Machine" as a desperate antidote to relieve the pain, and was brought back to full health by "Top Secret!". I suppose if you are a die-hard Mel Gibson fan you must rush out and buy this film immeadiately, but as for the viewers who'd prefer being known as a Die Hard Willis fan or Lethal Weapon/ Mad Max appreciator, I cannot tell you how much you will hate this movie. You'll have to suffer through it to understand it. P.S. Due to popular demand, I must remind the public that this is the viewpoint of one Seattlite, and the rest of Seattle does not always share my view.
Rating: Summary: Predictable and boring Review: If you can't figure out the ending to this movie in 20 minutes, you need to watch more movies. The plot just unrolls itself in a predictable manner, the make-up looks like someone threw pancake batter on the actors' faces and and heated it with a hair dryer, the acting was canned. Watch this movie only if you want to be able to say something like, "I've seen all of Mel Gibson's movies... including Forever Young"
