Summary: A Huge Disappointment
Review: The Rock is your typical Hollywood action extravaganza. Big, loud, annoying and stupid. Only Nic Cage gives this film any sense of worth watching.

Summary: Edge of your seat
Review: In this Cage movie, there is almost constant action and you want to watch even more. This along with Face/Off are his best movies. The plot in this movie is very twisted. Ed Harris and his band of marines are demanding large amounts of money as reparations to the families of fallen soldiers who were lied to by the Pentagon. Although they were the bad guys, I fully understanded why they wanted the money. They just chose the wrong way to get it. Besides I almost wanted them to pull it off. The only part of the movie I did not like was that no mariness died in the shower room sceene. Overall, this was a great movie.

Summary: Non-stopped action
Review: The best action movie I've ever seen, great acting and the prefect cast for an action movie. Keeps you on your feet for non-stopped action wondering whats going to happen. Great plot!!! The movie will make you wonder if this could actually happen in real life, but portrated by acting it out. Has great funny comments to keep this movie alive with the action.

Summary: The guy who made it was smokin rocks obviously.
Review: The absence of a plot turns potential into crap. Its no fun watching a freaking old guy run around a rat filled alcatraz shooting blanks at people. Nicolis cage cant even act like he has a clue. and it gets a little annoying when they use their limited vocabulary through the WHOLE movie. did i mention the OLD GUY?? This movie was a waste of money.

Summary: One of my Favorites!!!
Review: "The Rock" is one of the best movies I have ever seen. The action is intense, the drama is genuine, and the story is believable. The villain was not portrayed as being some psychopatic monster; he was a good man who had a legitimate grievance. The heroes, played by Nicolas Cage and Sean Connery, are excellent. Cage starts out mild-mannered, but grows increasingly intense. Connery, on the other side, starts out wild, but shows his human side. The opening with Ed Harris' character putting on his uniform, with tapes of his men crying out for help before they died set a very good scene for his motivation. Han Zimmer's musical score matches the movie perfectly with well-timed passages of peace, grief, and adrenaline. This movie deserves all five stars!!

Summary: A Classic Action Movie!!!!!!!!!
Review: I don't think this movie can get any better. To start with Sean Connery is in it and does an absolutely spectacular performance as the once imate of Alcatraz Island who escaped this unescapable prison. Its also a Don Simpon and Jerry Bruckheimer film(Crimson Tide,Bad Boys,Top gun, all of which are great movies)! Its directed by Michael Bay(Bad Boys) and to me is one of the best action directors ever. Nicolas Cage and Ed Harris both do a great job in the movie. Finally the music in the movie is great,it really gets you pumped up during the breath-taking action sequences. Just Great and on DVD its twice as good!!!!!!!!!!!! SEE THIS MOVIE!!!!!!!
