Terrible movie. Anyone who thinks it was not predictable is an idiot. Special effects were practically non-existant. Ben is no Harrison. And once again the Americans save the day. I was really looking forward to this move, but it was just terrible.
I`m still waiting for a Clancy movie that does his books justice. I thought Clear and Present Danger was bad, but man--this one is worse. Affleck is wooden and unbelieveable as Jack Ryan: Harrison Ford should get this role in perpetuity. The plot is not even close to the book (fine, it`s an "adaptation"). The special effects were a huge disappointment, particularly the nuclear blast: lots of blowing sand and close-ups, and little to convey the true magnitude of a nuclear weapon`s impact on a city center. A big, fat disappointment from end to end.
Ben sucked. I wouldn`t let him talk to my answering machine never mind the Russians. Harrison Ford has been insulted.
it was an excellent movie. ben affleck was surprisingly a great jack ryan. i enjoyed this movie from start to finish. would recommend it to anyone.
Overall a pretty good ride. I would recommend it for sheer entertainment value. I tend to find Tom Clancy`s overt and shameless militaristic Americanism humourous rather than inspiring, however. I didn`t fully understand why they took the movie out of the "Jack Ryan" sequence which for me took away from the movie. Why to American movies always need to add a romance to the plot????
good movie ... started out like a typical Clancy novel ... slow and sometimes boring but the build up is well worth it ... one of the better adaptations of the Jack Ryan novels!
Starts slow, but overall a great film. Makes you wonder just how secure our borders are.
Morgan Freeman was spectacular in this film!! He commanded the screen. I thought Ben Affleck made a good Jack Ryan, Harrison Ford really was too old for the role. Good movie, great acting.
i love it.....
I thought that Star Wars Episode 2 was more realistic than this movie.
