Summary: Headache-inducing Fare.
Review: This movie is so rancid it will appeal mainly to the brain-dead. Any genuine action-movie fan will recoil at the ridiculous over-the-top action scenes: all visual hyperbole and grating melodrama, that it becomes nothing less than a self-parody of a thriller. All that was missing was the cast from Monty Python and, of course, Leslie Nielson to pass this off as comedy of absurd proportions.

Summary: Air Force one - lost
Review: This is one of the worst movies I have seen. I love Harrison Ford movies, but this one is a stinker. The special effects look like they are from the 50's. I just watched Top Gun and Star Wars. Both of them had better arial shots. The plot was a die hard rip off. Talk about suspending disbelief. This is about as phoney and contrived as they come. I like far fetched movies like the Matrix, but this is just plane (ha ha) silly. The fundamentals are all wrong. No character development. Why didn't they go ahead and make the president a former wrestler who happens to be a ninja war hero? I haven't been this disapointed in a movie since CONGO.

Rating: 3 stars
Summary: Interesting but . . .
Review: Do you like cheese?

If yes the movies for you. Air Force one has all the action you need for a saturday night but it is just to cheesy. Think I'm overexagerating you're right I am the only really cheesy thing is when Mr. Ford says "Get off my plane". The movie was great until then and I'm thinkin (sarcastically) that's the best way to highlight a climax. Let us face it, that is a cheesy line.

If you said no to the cheese factor. Its still a good movie that teaches an important lesson about caring for your family more than anything (the spread of communism for example). If you don't like sensitive messages then see it because it has got some violence you will enjoy.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Air Force One
Review: Out of the two airplane films of 1997, Air Force One is arguably superior to Con Air. Air Force One is definitley a great film, and here's why: Harrison Ford and Gary Oldman are terrific in their roles as the President of the U.S. and a brutal Russian terrorist. but if you want to see slightly better Harrison Ford, check out his Star Wars films( especially The Empire Strikes Back). Glenn Close is also very good as the Vice President who tries to negotiate with the terrorists from Washington. Wolfgang Petersen does a superb job of directing (Das Boot), (In The Line of Fire). The plot was believeable, and the plane was much, much larger and better than the one in Con Air for there was a basement, a large cockpit, and many different rooms. there are enough hand-to-hand combat fights and gunfights to fulfill any action fan's requirements. This film is also very stable, for the plane stays n the air the whole time. Jerry This is definitley an edge-of-your-seat suspenseful thriller, so buckle your seat belt and enjoy.

Summary: Air Force One
Review: Harrison Ford, Anne Archer, Glenn Close, and Gary Oldman star in an action-packed hit from Columbia Pictures that flies so high it won't come back down. Ford stars as U.S. President James Marshall, who boards Air Force One for a flight, when terrorists (one played by Gary Oldman) hijack the plane. Like "Executive Decision"(I recommend you watch that awesome film) and "Passenger 57" (a cool movie), the plot revolves around a hijacked plane. This particular movie is an awesome adventure and just as good as "Executive Decision" (stars Kurt Russell and Halle Berry), and to me is even better than "Passenger 57" (stars Wesley Snipes). Glenn Close plays the female vice president, and Anne Archer plays the first lady, Marshall's wife. This spectacular piece is directed by Wolfgang Petersen, who also directed "In The Line Of Fire", an awesome thriller starring Clint Eastwood, John Malkovich, and Rene Russo.

Rating: 1 stars
Summary: Very, very, fake!
Review: If I hadn't wasted my money on this stupid movie I would have been happy but you know what this movie wasn't exciting at all. Poor, Harrison Ford had to act for the main character in this movie. The rest of his movies are great but this one is definetly not good! This movie is about a couple of terriosts who hijack a plane and try to kill a president, see it's a stupid movie. The Die Hard movies are the best! This movie is just plain dumb.

Rating: 4 stars
Summary: Brillant , Pity about the Final Half Hour
Review: This was a great film but it let itself down with the ending. In truth , Hollywood wrote this ending so that the good old USA trumiphs over evil again (and the box office isn't harmed again). But up until that point , this was up their with the best of them as Harrison finds himself aboard a hijacked Air Force One. The vice president (Glenn Close) finds herself eventually almost forced to rule that the president is making decisions not as a leader but as a family man and that as a result of this she MUST take charge. The film looks as though it may take this view but then about turns and declares that the Vice President makes a brillant decision by not only giving in to the terrorists who then reveal that they would not let the president go anyway and will use him as a political tool. Now at the end of the film the President escapes and the film in a few scenes shows her as having solved this crisis - presumably she knew that the president would become Rambo and save the day. Good movie until this point after that typical American Schmaltz (but still great fun)

Rating: 1 stars
Summary: Embarrasing...
Review: After movies like Sabrina, Regarding Henry, and, of course, the legendary Raiders of the Lost Ark, what a terrible movie! Just another overdone airplane movie that does not compare to the older movies about airline hijacking. I am so glad I waited until it came out on cable, because it was hyped to be so much more than it really was.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Great Movie, Great DVD
Review: "Air Force One" is a great movie, one of the best action thrillers of it's kind since "Speed"in 1994. Harrison Ford as always is perfect in this role as the president of the United States, and the rest of the cast give good performances also. The action scenes in this movie are clever, original, suspenseful. The DVD is also great while there arent many extras on the disc the transfer was just as good as it was in theaters if not better, the sound is actually better and if you have a good sound system it's even better.

Rating: 4 stars
Summary: Amazing!
Review: I luved this movie because it was very suspensful. One time I thought Harrison Ford was going to be captured but I would have never expected him to make the jets fire at the plane. I think that was pretty realistic.
