Rating: Summary: Picks up where The Right Stuff left off... Review: Totally likable film. Tommy Lee Jones and the boys were just wonderful. Always wanted to know the reaction to those test-flight jockeys who were turned down by the space program in favor of a monkey. Watch their reactions, especially the actor portraying Eastwood...priceless! For all of us who grew up with NASA this is a warm-hearted, salute to its pioneers and today's space scientists. The references to well-known space travellers: Shepard, Glenn and of course Yeager was much appreciated.
Rating: Summary: Needing Something More Review: Let me say something to begin. Clint Eastwood is a very talented director and actor. I have loved his other ventures, Midnight in the Garden of Good and Evil and True Crime. Both were excellent. This one on the other hand was something else. The beginning of Space Cowboys was good. Funny. It has some great star power in the means of James Garner, Tommy Lee Jones, and Donald Sutherland. All are great actors and they made a few good jokes in this film. After the first half, which mainly deals with these older gentlemen trying to get back into shape to go into space, the second half is too dramatic. It stands out way too much than the first half and leaves you with a, "Why did I just watch this", kind of feeling. That is just my opinion, but you might want to reconsider buying this one. It is one to watch though.
Rating: Summary: WHAT A BAD MOIVE Review: I am a big movie guy and in my life this is the worst movie i have ever seen with my homedog Clint Eastwood. i had just rented this movie on 4/17/01 at 3:37 pm EST. i watch the movie about 2 hours after i had rented it. i was thinking that this would be a great movie because it had some the best actors from back in the day, but i was most deffenitly wrong i watched it and i thought the thing was hours long. a good moive seems liek it is 10 mins long. the space cowboys seemed to be draging be hind a car like a road kill cat hangin from the back of a car. i edvice u to stay away from this movie. but itif u like clint he dose a good job so see it if u r a fan.
Rating: Summary: Fly me to the moon!!!!!!!!! Review: Best summer flick 2000! Chuck Yeager will be proud of it. It shows that you can forget all the Gibsons, Cruises, Clooneys and so on - Clint still reigns!
Rating: Summary: Laugh along with the geezers Review: What can be said of a movie in which four geezers are shot into space? The sheer premise alone just about says it all: "Armageddon" with old folk. There's the whole theme of resentment from the younger, "better-fit," hotshots. The "fighting team-mates" theme (which, of course, means that one of them must die). There's even the "fledgeling-romance-on-Earth" theme! Yes, we've seen all this before, but somehow it all seems to work this time around. How could that be? I would give a lot of credit to the performances of, of course, Eastwood, Sutherland, Garner, and Jones. These guys realize that, to some extent, this film is the story of their careers. (If only Harrison Ford had been available!) So they sit back, gear up the punchlines, and let the metaphor work for them. All in all, this is a bit of a mixed bag, but it's worth checking out, if only to laugh along with the geezers.
Rating: Summary: Very, Very good movie. Better than I thought. Review: This movie was a very funny and very well written. I saw this with my wife and another couple and they enjoyed it, probably more than I did. Don't get me wrong it is a very good movie (as if I haven't said that enough). Clint, Tommy, James and Donald all are very funny (espeacially Donald - He thinks he is a sex god or something). I would be suprised if anyone hated this film.
Rating: Summary: A terrific flick that will keep you laughing Review: When I think of Space Cowboys, I always come back to the opening sequence: it is, hands down, one of the funniest moments in movie history. Not only was everyone in the theatre rolling in the aisles, but my fiance and I still laugh about it, many months later. This is a sweet, funny, serious, and charming film that is sure to delight even the most jaded movie-goer. It's worth a watch, and worth adding to your DVD collection. Enjoy.
Rating: Summary: What a ride Review: While this movie is described as about a group of aging astronauts called back into service, don't believe that cliche totally describes the movie. It's quite funny and serious. The training scenes with the younger astronauts makes this worth owning alone. But more important is the critical plot that develops from what you think is the main plot about 3/4 of the way into the movie. The cast was brilliantly selected and they all contribute in unique ways. This film pays off in the end. Enjoy!
Rating: Summary: Good Fun movie from one of Hollywood's Best Review: No it doesn't get 5 stars because it could have been better or tighter but it is a good solid 4 star flick. I think an overwhelming majority of the people who see " Space Cowboys " will enjoy it. It is good escapist fun. Clint is in fine form. Tommy Lee isn't the geezer he plays, but he gives a great performance. James Gartner & Donald Sutherland steal the scenes. Realistic? NO! But it is a good movie and it is fun.
Rating: Summary: Wonderfully Entertaining Review: This movie has fun as the minutes roll on. It makes the older generation feel good and the young feel entertained. This was a box office sleeper but a must see in my opinion!
