Summary: Ok
Review: I think this movie shows the true hard mission the un song heros go through. This was a good movie but the personalty of these seals was a little off. Also a couple stunts or actions done by these seals was a little off, a seal does not atract attention he is quite

Summary: The Truth....of Beirut
Review: I'm from Lebanon, Beirut, and i was there during the ar 1975-1989, Navy seals was excellent, The things they say, and how they show Beirut is even less bad then it really was. The story may not be true but how they shouwed Beirut was very true, and i don't like this movie because there is war in it, i like it because it is o close to the truth. And for a person who likes war mpovies, i would roccomend it ti him or her. It shows you hos bloody and terrable war can be but no matter how good and how truthful a movie cold be it can never compare of what it really is like, you can never imagine what happens to the people in war.

Summary: Action stinker.
Review: It took me three sittings to sit through most of Navy Seals, and I still dozed off through a few minutes of it. Yes, boredum the movie's biggest problem. This is by far the dullest action movie I've seen in years, maybe even of all-time.

What's the plot? Who cares? It's just bare bones enough to string up some action sequences, but unfortunately, the action scenes smell of made-for-TV quality. Heck, some of the stuff that's made-for-TV these days features better action (i.e. Band of Brothers). Director Lewis Teague obviously doesn't know much more than the good old point-and-shoot method, meaning he's got no style or, for that matter, a sense of direction. People shoot, get shot, and it's a basic, routine pattern that continues for all the gunfights. There are no cool stunts, outrageous situations, or edgy tension during all these scenes.

The way it is for me is that movies involving commando teams are rarely ever exciting, mainly because it's a bunch of tough guys who seem invincible, even when a couple of them get killed. Oh, don't get me wrong, there are notable exceptions (such as the nail-biter Executive Decision), but Navy Seals sure isn't one of them. The film never builds up any suspense because the villains never seem like a threat. None of the bad guys are even the slightest bit menacing. Already, at least half the movie's effectiveness is gone.

But the "heroes" are just as lame and uninteresting. For these parts, acting's what you'd expect. Charlie Sheen plays himself, annoying and idiotic as usual. Michael Biehn is the tough-as-nails commander, a role he can do in his sleep, though he plays the part so straight he might just induce some sleep in the viewers. Nobody else makes an impression, not even the usually funny Bill Paxton.

I don't have much more to say about Navy Seals, other than its third-rate, silly crap that fails on every intended level. It's dull plot and premise won't make this an enjoyable movie to trash in a crowd, and its boring execution will put a lot of viewers to sleep. Definitely one of the nadirs of awful modern action filmmaking.
1/2 out of *****

Summary: Great Action
Review: My wife and I love this movie very much. It's very good in the action film.

Summary: The BEST military based movie ever made !
Review: Navy SEALs gives an accurate impression of the real life SEALs. Sure some characters, like Hawkins, are 100% fictional. But don't forget, it's Hollywood. There is only so much that a movie producer can get to make an accurate movie. This movie shows correct techniques and tactics of real life SEALs. Too bad this movie didn't catch on really big.

Summary: A great movie, if not wholly accurate
Review: Navy SEALs is a great action movie. When I obtained this movie, I wasn't expecting much. I'm not a huge fan of Sheen, but he was great in the movie. He has a great performance much like he did in Platoon. I've been an avid Michael Biehn fan for awhile and think that it's a shame he's not bigger then he is. He excelled in his role as the commander of the SEAL team. The only really inaccurate part of this movie that I could pick out was Sheen's character, who was obviously just thrown in there to add some character. I am not a SEAL, but from what I understand from reading books and watching the special people like Sheen's character would never have made it through training. I also don't know how realistic the drill they used was, seeing as I am not in the Service yet. Overall though, the movie was very enjoyable. There were enough one liners to keep me laughing and the action scenes are intence and fun. The SEALs are not trained to ask questions first, they're trained to shoot first and ask questions later, this is apparent in the movie. I loved it, deffinately a movie for lovers of the action movie and lovers of military films alike.

Summary: Something I liked as a kid
Review: Pretty good movie that I liked when I was younger. Of course I still like it, but I acknowledge that it is not top cinema. It's a cool movie about...the navy seals..and shows how they are the top fighting force in the world.
