Summary: Clint Eastwood Stikes Again
Review: Space Cowboys was one of my favorite movies from last year. It fells like a small personal movie, even with the effects heavy ending. If you are willing to suspend some belief for a little while this is an entertaining, fun film. The movie is divided into two parts. The first being an hilarious take on the training before the mission format of Full Metal Jacket or Armageddon but with senior citizens. There is some subplot with the villainous James Cromwell character which seemed a little unnecessary, but wasn't as distracting as it could have been. The introduction is interesting but I found the dubbed voices of the older actors on to the young actors a little gimmicky. The training scenes are absolutely hilarious with the prerequisite scenes of the older more clever Clint Eastwood and crew outwitting the young "punks". There is definite chemistry between the four stars.The second part of the story concerns the disarming of an ancient satellite carrying nuclear missiles. The movie shifts gears and turns less humorous. I found it to be exciting and I was caught up in the action. The ending is touching but not maudlin. This movie was compared to Armageddon when it was released but there is only a superficial resemblance. Where Armageddon was loud and overdone Space Cowboys is quiet and elegant with four of the best actors of their generation having fun poking fun at their own age. Great movie and a lot of fun.

Summary: Clint Eastwood is UNFORGIVEN this time!
Review: Let's just get to the moral of my review, this movie is hardly worth 2 stars!! Clint Eastwood- you are a fabulous actor, but teaming up with Tommy Lee Jones, James Garner and Donald Sutherland to go into space and repair a satelite??? Come on!!! Do not to try to copy APOLLO 13 or ARMAGEDDON with an "adventure in space" theme mixed with some cheezy GRUMPY OLD MEN wanna-be humor! Tommy Lee Jones- stick to movies you're good at like THE FUGITIVE and MEN IN BLACK. Stay away from these kinds of movies. And what is this business with you and that 25 year old chick??? Another point- They were only in space for 20 minutes of the 130 minute movie... Eastwood- you can make UNFORGIVEN, star in THE GOOD BAD AND THE UGLY and even star in IN THE LINE OF FIRE, but you aren't a SPACE COWBOY!!!! This movie fails everywhere! There is no excitment in this movie! There isn't much humor in this movie (except for the scene with TOMMY LEE JONES and the crazed teen who wanted a death-rush joyride on his birthday), the acting wasn't the best, the backround set for space stunk, and the movie was just too darn long to be this bad!!! SPACE COWBOYS is to add to the list of sucky movies this year!... Miss SPACE COWBOYS, check out GRUMPY OLD MEN or ARMAGEDDON for humor/or action thrill ride adventure in space!!! SPACE COWBOYS is no ticket for entertainment, it's a ticket for a VCR/DVD player that needs bigtime repairs because it was beatin the heck out of- if you rent this movie!!!

Summary: "The Ripe Stuff"
Review: In this movie Clint Eastwood, Tommy Lee Jones, Donald Sutherland, and James Garner are 4 former Air Force pilots who trained to go into outer space but were denied the chance. Forty years later they are called in to NASA to rescue and repair a Russian communications satellite that threatens to crash back to Earth. When they actually reach the satellite they find that they are dealing with something which is a much greater danger. This movie has laughs, suspense, and 4 actors who appear to be having a great time. The plot strains credibility but it's best to suspend disbelief and enjoy the ride!

Summary: Pointless?
Review: While the actors in this movie are astounding.....the movie is not. Even though these acting legends have suprised us and pleased us in many movies, they do not live up to their potential in this slow flick. As I sat and watched this movie, the only point that came across to me was that these men thought that they were "too old" to do this feet. As I continued to watch I couldn't help myself from saying "Ok, I get the point, you are too old. Can we get to the movie now?" While the movie is not intolerable, I don't recommend it.

Summary: Load of fertilizer
Review: Ok let's theoretically say that a bunch of astronauts get stranded in their space shuttle in space. In real life, they would 1)Play the hero and try to land their busted space shuttle, 2)Ask Nasa to send up another one, to pick 'em up and take 'em down.....oh wait how can I be so silly, Nasa, that deprived, third-world nation space agency only has one space shuttle. Oh then everything makes (non)sense. Avoid this movie like the plague. It's more fun to watch rocks grow. If it it were possible to give this movie a 0 star review I'd do it.

Summary: Relax,its a great popcorn movie.
Review: Space Cowboys is a great popcorn film with a witty and unexpected ending.One reviewer asked "how did he get to the Moon"? He's supposed to be the best pilot in the world,remember?They set that up when he lands the shuttle by instinct.The film has some great scenes with first class special effects and it's wonderful to see the over the hill gang get together for one more great adventure.Its a good popcorn film,relax and enjoy it.

Summary: A very good, solid, fun piece of entertainment
Review: I was really happy with this movie. It was significantly better than I expected. You're going to want to see this in widescreen on the DVD. Eastwood makes a lot of uses of the full frame. Cropping this film will do a great injustice, as it always does, but with this film more so than others. The DVD picture quality is fantastic. The special effects are of high caliber. There are some cool uses of surround sound. Although the DVD does not have a lot of features, it's really worthwhile to see it in that format. This is a fun movie. There are several funny moments. Space Cowboys has a great cast and they contribute a lot. The story is solid and gets the job done. The characters are definitely above average. It's a well put together film which I think will appeal to a wide array of people. I can't imagine Clint Eastwood fans being disappointed. This is NOT the dreadful Firefox. I really enjoyed Space Cowboys.
