The Sum of All Fears was a great movie. I think that Ben Affleck did a very good job as a younger Jack Ryan. This is a must see movie.
Though I did think that this movie was a little slow at times, I think that Ben Affleck and Morgan Freeman were excellent in their perspective roles. The film itself was very timely and it did manage to strike an emotional cord, but for the most part i was just squirming in my seat, waiting for it to end.
complex but interesting in a good way
This movie is a real wake up call to all those rationalists who would predict that the threat of annihilation is a deterrent to a nation on either side retaliating for the acts of any madmen (and there have been many throughout history, Nero and Hitler being examples that come readily to mind) who was to make the "first strike". Mankind has that terrifying potential to react and escalate the cycle of strike and counterstrike. A very good action movie and a grim reminder that the threat of terrorism is very real, despite what the pedlars of inate human moral good virtue and evolution to a condition of peacefull co-existence would have us acc
excellent movie,well written and the cast was just amazing. Ben Affleck was charming,convincing,and just wonderfull.Morgan Freeman played a strong supporting role although I thought he should have been more visible in the action scenes. All throught out the movie my sister and I kept jumping out of our seats and wanted to immediately join the CIA. They get a lot of action...I give it 5 Stars and more
The story was something like nobody knows wat he/she is doing..... there was no clarity in it, though ben affleck did a good job. They showed world leaders so desperate to crush each other... i hope thats not the case in real life.
THIS IS A MOVIE THAT IS A MUST SEE.
1980`s Cold War plot with 2001/2 headlines. Messed-up the story line with the rest of the books/movies. Ben is a little off as Jack Ryan - better then Alec but not as good as Harrison.
sum of all fears didn`t have the grasp to keep me interested for the 2 and a half long and tedious hours it took for the damn thing to end. michael da silva - toronto critic extrordinaire :>
this movie was absolutely amazing. exciting, good storyline, not too much of a romantic storyline. tom clancy novels are still the best, but the movie is good for those who are too lazy to read a good story. the only thing that i may doubt is ben affleck playing the role of jack ... i wonder if there is someone who could play the character better. any suggestions?
