Rating: Summary: Meh.... Review: Fun, but unbelievably contrived and cheesy. Hardly groundbreaking---in fact, occasionally degrading!
Rating: Summary: Everybody should have a chance to see this one!!! Review: I would recomend G.I Jane to anyone who thought women belong in combat. It is sad in parts because Jordan (Moore) gets it a lot harder than the men do. But she is determind to go through with it because she know she can. This is an action movie that was well written.
Rating: Summary: Great underdog overcoming all movie. Review: I do like this movie... the first time or the 5th time. I think that Demi does a good job of pulling her weight with out looking too male or too feminine. Too bad about the way fake boobs though. I like the diversity and the supporting characters. The story is believable and the action/suspense is pretty good.
Rating: Summary: A Good Movie but it missed so much Review: GI Jane was a good movie and it showed the dedication of one person. The incorrect things in the movie existed in the C.R.T. training. The training program is called the Basic Underwater Demolition school, not the Combined Reconnaisance Team. For a person to graducate the BUD/s training program they have to have more than heart. They must be a superior athlete. There are very few men in the world that can graduate that program. A voluptuous woman wound have no chance at doing so. If there were errogant people, like Cortez and Slovnick, they would be forced to 'ring the bell'. If somebody doesn't know anything about the Navy SEALs they would really enoy this movie.
Rating: Summary: Courageously accurate portrayal of a military challenge Review: Perhaps the most under-rated film of 1997, this skillful collaboration was trashed by a critical establishment which has made a cult of Demi Moore --and even Bruce Willis--bashing. Many such reviewers betrayed their ignorance of the subject matter. My daughter, a recent graduate of similar training, tells me it's the most accurate picture on screen...rather mild in its intensity only because discomfort is not the real message. My SEAL contacts who were there during filming applaud its cast and crew. It's still worth some serious consideration.
Rating: Summary: "You Go, Girl!" Review: I found this a contrived, formula movie that fits better into a "P.C. Fantasy" category. The ridicule, resentment and abuse directed toward the female SEAL is predictable and exagerated, intended whip the audience into a sympathetic frenzy. It's improbability puts it into a league with "Karate Kid," "Home Alone," "Ninja Turtles" or some old "Lassie" TV films, - where you cheer for the main character, exhalt in his/her finally rising above the cruelty and unfairness, but you know it's all just fun nonsense.Also, the sound track is "thick," - you have to struggle to hear. Great affects, though.
Rating: Summary: Change your life or have Demi change it for you! Review: If you have ever needed a kick in the butt to get going on your fitness campaign, watch this! And if you think you would stand up for your principles, then see how with style. Miss Moore plays a tough, hot headed character, who despite her femininity, has the last word in the male dominated games of fighting and hurling verbal abuse. Close your eyes at the bits where she gets kicked in the face, but watch in awe at the precision and dedication of her physical training. It just makes me wish that I had joined the seals at the same time as her!
Rating: Summary: Decent movie to rent Review: It's what I expected from the movie when I watched it. An underdog being the 1st woman to try to make it into the Seal team by undergoing vigorous training.
Rating: Summary: Demi does a Jack Palance Review: Feminists will unite to watch Demi Moore do one handed pushups for about a half an hour. Later on she gets the daylights kicked out of her for all the psuedo-masochists in the audience. This movie could have lasted 10 minutes, for the story and plot line. In fact it did. When Demi Moore visited Letterman.
Rating: Summary: Entertaining movie with accurate portrayal of SEAL training Review: This movie is among my favorite martial-arts style training to be lethal and then kicking butt movies. The issue of women in the military is credibly addressed, with the eventual selection of Moore's character, a triathlete, as the candidate is among the more realistic options. That she's a babe (synthetic or not) is merely a bonus. A friend of mine who commanded a SEAL platoon in the sixties and seventies has informed me that the movie has one of the more accurate portrayals of the BUD/S course which forms the backbone of SEAL training. Overall, an enjoyable movie I've seen twice. END
