Rating: Summary: Pseudo-Intellectuals Need Not Apply! Review: I don't care what you critics say;THIS MOVIE IS PURE FUN.Its not meant to be an Oscar contender;nor is it meant to probe depressing "deep thoughts". It is meant to entertain you with a wide array of stellar,sexy cars(this got me interested in cars,by the way)car-chase action sequenses and of course mega-hottie Angelina Jolie.Sure,Nicholas Cage has done better("The Rock","leaving Las Vegas")but he does a decent job here,as do the rest of the cast.The plot is paper-thin(steal 50 cars in one night or your brothers in the coffin)but then again,this isn't supposed to be "Casablanca".Just sit back,relax,turn of your brain,and enjoy "Gone In 60 Seconds"!
Rating: Summary: awesome flick! Review: I was kinda scared that this movie might suck since Cage who is a good actor has been in really bad roles in the past year or two, including 8mm, bringing up the dead and so on. well this was nothing like it, Gone in 60 Secs was a funny entertaining acton movie, not depressing at all. awesome movie, a must see!
Rating: Summary: I wish this movie had been over in sixty seconds Review: Quite possibly the worst movie since ANACONDA. This movie is totally unrealistic and basically just a bunch of fast cars driven by a few excellent actors (Giovanni Ribisi & Robert Duvall) surrounded by some vomit-inducing actors (Scott Caan, Angelina Jolie, & Master P) in a very boring story. This movie uses scenes ripped off from AMERICAN GRAFFITI and BULLITT to make up for a faulty plot written by Scott Rosenberg. Apparently, Jerry Bruckheimer used his trademark moronic formula of (if we put a whole bunch of exotic cars in the movie people will want to see it just so they can sit around saying "that car's badass!") showing exotic cars in stunts and a surgically enhanced girl in hopes to make this a guy's movie. If you are a car nut do not expect to see any cars that you have not seen in movies before (Hummers, Lamborghini's, and a few classic hotrods) and you will also hear a lot of namedropping in an effort to impress the layperson. The technical side of the movie is just as bad. The stunts are altogether unrealistic and the CGI special effects are easy to pick out. The disc is also disappointing; the volume on the menu is much greater than the actual movie, the commentary audio track is mixed so softly that it is barely audible and the beginning of the disc is filled with previews to other similarly disappointing movies. Don't watch this if your only reason is to escape your daily life. This movie is a poor work of fiction set in a world where Hollywood's distortion of reality is far too obvious. In the real world cars kill more people and more often than guns do; this movie would have us believe otherwise, and police actually do have rules and regulations for pursuits though here they just follow the suspect blindly. Please do not encourage Hollywood to make more movies like this by seeing or purchasing this movie.
Rating: Summary: For those who want to see good actors do stupid things. Review: Oh, boy, what a lame action flick this is. The story is so bad, involving stealing cars or else some guy's brother is going to get killed, yet you have to wonder why the bad guy decides to let the brother go before all the cars are stolen. Shows the kind of thought that was put into this. Oh, and for anybody who would say that the plot doesn't matter in a movie like this, it's only for action, then the total lack of car chases doesn't help matters, either.
Rating: Summary: Watching Survivor would be much more entertaining Review: Steal 50 cars in 2 days (or something like that)or your brother dies! But wait, Nicholas Cage has quit stealing cars not because he is scared but for love of his brother. But he can't get let his brother die - so he gets back in the "profession" - reluctantly. It's impossible to steal 50 cars in 2 days, but ol' Nick gets his crew together and what do you think happens. If you can't figure it out from watching the trailer, then I would suggest seeing a neurosurgeon immediately.
Rating: Summary: So bad it's not even funny. Review: Anybody notice the year 2000 was the summer of slow-beginning action films? From this film, M:I-2, Shaft, and The Perfect Storm, you have a setup that begins rather slowly. The only difference is, the latter 3 movies I mentioned are actually good. Gone in 60 Seconds is awful. There are reasons for that. Number one: It's boring. Number 2: it's stupid. Number 3: It wastes a good cast (though to be fair, it's not as if though Cage, Jolie, Duvall, and Lindo were never in their own fair share of bad movies).
Rating: Summary: The critics are as right as ever. Review: Gone in 60 Seconds is without a doubt the worst Bruckheimer action film (Coyote Ugly is probably Bruckheimer's worst overall). The problem with this flick isn't just the fact that it's stupid, but also because it's boring. There's a lack of excitement in the entire movie. It' just not worth watching.
Rating: Summary: Worse than bad. Review: Gone in 60 Seconds is even worse than Battlefield Earth, it's so bad it's not even funny.
Rating: Summary: Great Car Movie Review: This is a good old fashioned, down and dirty car movie. They haven't made a film like this in years! Faced-paced, in-your-face, this movie has it all. Cars, story, cars, action, cars, chaces, cars, laughs and cars. Eat my dust! Get this one!
Rating: Summary: Just another movie Review: Nothing big here, just another typical action flick without much of anything else. The final car chase was pretty cool, but could not save the movie. Rent this movie, no need to buy it. It will be fun to watch if you have a good 5.1 system.Overall Grade - C
