Summary: The most influential sk8 flim to date!!!!!!
Review: I saw this flim when it first came out and i was so stoked at the sk8ting. It isn't all sk8ting it does have a story line about a 16 year old called Brian who isn't itrested in anything apart from sk8ting until his adopted brother uncovers something big and is murdered for it. while thw police are convinced it was suicide brian isn't and goes out to seek the truth. The chase scene at the end is brilliant, car chases, downhill motorbike chase, an army of skateboarders and a pizza hut truck. great sk8boarding tricks especially at the end credits with Rodney Mullen. HIGHLY RECOMMENDED BY SK8BOARDERS ALL OVER THE UK!!!!!

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Gleaming the Cube kicks buttox!
Review: I think that Gleaming the cube is one of the best movies ever made. I think to be a true skateboarder, you have to have seen this movie, otherwise your just a washed up imposter. If you disagree, please E-mail me and state your views. I liked the use of Tony Halk as an actor. This movie includes the best scene in movie history. It is the part where the pizza truck is coming over the hill and all the skateboarders are around it. Even If it is an old-school movie, I think it is a great movie for all skateboarders, and everyone else too.

Rating: 5 stars

Summary: Extreme
Review: I've seen this movie so many times I could probably repeat it word for word. It's full of intense action and the stunts are extreme. Story of a young skater who seeks revenge for his adopted brothers murder. Gleaming the Cube is a definite must see.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: A classic at it's best.
Review: If you like Hackers or Pump Up the Volume you'll love this movie dedicated to skateboarders and classic teenage angst everywhere. Stunts are awesome, plot is intriguing, and the revenge is perfect. Set in the classic 80's style this movie will remind you of those wonderful angry days if you were a teen in the 80's.

Rating: 4 stars
Summary: Like, totally!
Review: In the tradition of 80s movies, this action packed movie has a brooding central character, played by Christian Slater, who completely changes after his adopted brother's death. The banter between Slater's character and the street-wise cop is detective-show fodder, but the message is clear--love your family.

Rating: 1 stars
Summary: how exactly do you "gleam the cube"?
Review: introduction:
How DO you gleam the cube? some unfamiliar with the skateboarding world might just think it's a technical industry term. to think this would be incorrect, as no one-- skateboarder or not --knows what gleaming the cube means, even after watching this movie. the absurdities of this film only begin there.

plot synopsis:
christian slater and professional skateboarding company, et al, skating their way through the underbelly of the san diego vietnamese mafia, trying to avenge the death of slater's adopted vietnamese brother while, by-and-by, slater begins to fall for said deceased brother's girlfriend, whose father is the kingpin, or godfather, of said crime syndicate.
who comes up with this crap?

today:
the success of this movie can only be accredited to the mainstream popularity of "X-treme sports" at the time of the film's original release (mid-eighties), and their unprecedented resurgence in the late nineties, failing to mention the decade in between, which, littered with bankruptcy and drugs, skaters and christian slater alike would like to pretend never happened.

advisory:
we suggest you rent it at the video store, then laugh about the stupid movie you watched as a kid, while hanging out really late with your college friends.

reviewers:
stephen mayer, age 20, watched this movie in '98, dictated the review to emily garrett.

Rating: 5 stars

Rating: 3 stars
Summary: Great Old School Film
Review: Not the best skater movie, but it actually has a plot. The skateboarding action is above average. It has both Ramp and flatland tricks. My 13 yr. old Brother loves this movie. Mainly because of the skating. Good performance by C. Slater.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Best Movie ever !!!
Review: Oh my god this film is great the story line may suck a little but the skateboarding rules !!!!!! In this film Tony Hawks, rodney mullen, mike vallely and many more skaters appear. They are all young and the skating is raw !!!! I mean to say that the style of skating is old school and classic. Tony hawks taught christian slater to skate and he tought him well. If you want to see ant other skaters in films, Chris Miller is one of the guys who jumps over the cop car in Police academy 4 !!!!!! This film rules the skating is raw and amazing, real old school style !!!!!!!!
