Summary: Navy Seals- Well Done, but unrealistic
Review: Gozer the Traveler! He will come in one of the pre-chosen forms. During the Rectification of the Vuldronaii, the Traveler came as a large and moving Torb! Then, during the Third Reconciliation of the Last of the Meketrex Supplicants, they chose a new form for him, that of a giant Sloar! Many Shubs and Zuuls knew what it was to be roasted in the depths of a Sloar that day, I can tell you!

Rating: 4 stars
Summary: Hoo-Yahhhh
Review: Great Action,Charlie Sheen is a little over the top but Michael Biehn is the type of Seal Team Leader you want, dedicated to his men & the Teams, incidentally he was a Seal in both the Abyss & the Rock. Makes you wonder..huh. The scene that they did a HALO, one of the best sequences. For more authentic SEAL movies, catch the Finest Hour, not as exciting in terms of Adrenaline but great authentic training sequences on the Strand & the Gulf.

Rating: 3 stars
Summary: The Teams Would Be Ashamed
Review: I enjoyed watching this video, but if you want to get technical with all the right tactics, and stuff this video doesn't live up to the Navy Seal name. It is a good video to watch, but don't look for any tips. I bought this video at a used movie store. I think you should take my advice.

Rating: 3 stars
Summary: Entertaining Flick
Review: I first saw this movie when I was a kid. I thought it was so cool how these guys got to jump out of places, shoot guns, and go to war like these guys did. But as I got older, i realized that this film is far from what the real thing is.

This film gives the public an idea of what the US Navy SEAL's can do. It shows the various capabilities and missions that these guys can perform. Unfortunately there is always a load of fictions that accompanies reality. Hawkins (Sheen) is right out of a comic book. His no respect for authority, and Rambo-likeness is nothing like any SEAL I've ever seen or talked to. Though the characteristics of all the other SEALs in the movie seem to be accurate. I really like how there is a conflict between one of the men when he is torn between his fiance and his dedication to the teams. I really like Michael Biehn's character, he is one of the best actors as far as military roles go.

This is an entertaining film, full of guns and action. Is it realistic? I don't know. From what I know about the SEAL teams, certain aspects of this movie are accurate and others aren't. I like this movie, though it could have been done better.

Rating: 4 stars
Summary: misinformed viewers
Review: I have read many reviews that have been compared to the "real" SEALs.I would agree, there are some parts about the film that seem unbelievable. However, if you are going to do enough research into the SEAL teams to "know" this movie is unrealistic, here is an idea for you. Research a navy SEAL team called Red Cell. After reading about it, you will agree that this movie is almost exactly to a tee on how that team operated. Keep that in mind next time you watch the film.

Summary: The Navy SEALs seem pleased with Michael Biehn¿s performance
Review: I love the movie, but readily admit there are parts that could most definitely use some improvement. It does, however, have lots of action, emotional moments, and even comedic relief throughout; making it fun to watch no matter what mood you're in.

I believe the SEALs deserve the utmost respect and was a bit upset that some parts of the movie, a movie bearing their name, didn't seem to do them justice. Though I don't know how your average Navy SEAL feels about the movie itself; they seem to be very pleased with Michael Biehn's (yay!) portrayal as a Navy SEAL. I read an article (I'm not sure if I'm allowed to cite in a review, an internet search should lead you to it though - fan club) that said the SEALs were excited about the prospect of Mr. Biehn being the narrator for the U.S. Navy UDT/SEAL Museum in Florida's new film. The film (I believe, as I haven't had a chance to visit the museum yet) is running continuously, showing the history and evolution of the United States Navy SEALs. Biehn, honored, narrated it for free. The SEALs seem to feel that Michael Biehn's depictions as a SEAL in "Navy SEALs" and "The Rock" were very accurate and well done. This is further evidenced by the fact that after his part in the museum film was completed, he received a special honor from Rear Admiral E.T. Olsen; he was awarded with a plaque and named Honorary Frogman for Life. This is a real honor since the SEALs say that the Admiral has only done this a few times and rarely gives such glowing compliments to anyone.

So, though the movie has it's faults, and what movie doesn't, it's still a good movie. Give it a try and enjoy if for what it is, a movie. If you're a Michael Biehn fan, it's a must see. Also, though Charlie Sheen's portrayal of a SEAL may not, putting it mildly, be the greatest, don't be too harsh a judge; remember, he's just doing the best he can, which is pretty darn good, with the shoddy part he's given.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Excellent action flick!!!
Review: I love this movie! It's a fantastic action flick. Plenty of fights and explosions . . . entertaining characters . . . hot looking guys in uniform . . . and an emotional undercurrent (losing friends). I highly recommend it!
