Summary: "Executive Decision" was better
Review: Credibility. You must think in terms of credibility. No motive was given for the secret service agent to turncoat on the president.This is vital. The audience must know why he's turned traitor. Allow a foreign camera crew on board? No way, Jose. Harrison Ford has a gun on one of the bad guys so he won't reveal his position? I thought these guys would dearly love to die for their cause. And the parachute scene? People dropping in a parachute for the first time wouldn't be grinning from ear to ear. If you like airplane hijack movies then "Executive Decision" is much better. The much underused David Suchet plays a splendidly hammy and campy villian. And who wants to miss seeing Steven Segal get 'blown away'?

Summary: Great action, mediocre acting
Review: This is a great action film. The acting is pretty terrible though (except for Gary Oldman, he's the ONLY one who adds some dignity to the bunch) and it's so bad you might even get mad at these actors. Still, as everyone has pointed out, the sound is amazing, and the non-stop action will keep your heart-pounding.

Summary: Enough cheese to start a, um, cheese store.
Review: It may star Harrison Ford, and may be directed by Wolfgang Petersen, but this block of limburgher's action is borring, and the script is hideous. Throughout the movie I began to hate the capable-of-anything swiss-army-knife-of-a-hero more than anything else. The only reason to watch this movie is for the always excellent Gary Oldman, who plays an enraged Russian.

Summary: Ludicrous, but a good kind of ludicrous
Review: Yes, "Air Force One" does have a rosier view of the President of the USA than, say, "Mars Attacks!," "Clear and Present Danger" or even "Dave." Yes, it is flagwaving tosh. Yes, the special effects from Richard Edlund's Boss Film Corp. (and Cinesite) fail to end the long streak of unconvincing mockups of planes in flight - we've never seen spaceships zooming between galaxies, but we have seen planes flying for real, hence the gap. And yes, the first fifteen minutes are painful - but once you accept that the whole thing is pure fantasy and see it as just a silly, pulpy thriller it's a perfectly acceptable way to kill two hours, with good suspense and an excellent score from Jerry Goldsmith (and Joel McNeely). It's been criticised as being too jingoistic for non-American viewers - and it is a bit too simplistic and flag-waving - but I'm a non-American and I was, to be honest, rooting for the President to just GET OFF THAT PLANE BEFORE IT WAS TOO LATE!

Summary: I wish I could say I liked it!
Review: I love Harrison Ford Films. I love good action films. I love cold war-ish plots. BUT, this film lives up to none of those descriptions. Ford is flat, the action is unrealistic and childish. The plot is outlandish and ends implausibly. I tried to like it but it let me down. 69/100 D

Summary: Independence Day meets Airport
Review: Did the makers of ID4 consult on this film? It sure seemed liked they did. This movie had so many rediculous, stupid scenes in it, it was almost comical. I know playing the president of the United States is a great character to portray, but Harrison Ford should really be more critical of the scripts he accepts. The scene where the presidnent's secretary is floating down in her parachute has got to be one of the most ludicrous shots ever captured on film. This is an action film, however it's just a really stupid action film. Sappy, confusing, melodramatic, and rediculous are just a few words that describe this movie. Oldman, Close, and some good character actors are horribly wasted. Great premise, awful film.
