Movie Reviews of Air Force One
Movie Review: Get Off of my plane
Summary: 5 Stars
Air Force One DVD
Air Force One starring Harrison Ford is one of my favorite movies for all the wrong reasons.
First it shows you what an U. S. President ought to be:
- An Honorably discharged veteran (in the movie he had won the Congressional Medal of Honor)
- Brave ( he chose to stay behind and fight the terrorist who had hijacked the plane)
- A man of action, not just words.
Glenn Close plays a superb Vice-President. In the movie the President's family on the surface mirrors Bill Clinton's, wife with a teenage , blonde headed daughter. Too bad reality is so different.
Anyhow as Bill Clinton recently said it's all a fairy tale.
Highly recommended for people who want to know how a President is suppose to be and for fans of Harrison Ford.

P. S. Did you know Harrison Ford was a carpenter when discovered for the first Star Wars movie?
Movie Review: a President you can respect
Summary: 5 Stars
Die Hard on a plane? No not exactly. What happens when Air Force One is taken over by terrorists? What happens when they threaten the First Lady and her daughter? Well you are Harrison Ford then you get mad and then you kick some terrorist butt. This is a slick, intelligent thriller. The cast is an incredibly talented pool of actors. Oldman is spectacular as always, the man was made to play bad guys. Fords performance is intense, torn between his presidental ideals and role as father and husband. The man seems to act and look presidental even when holding a machine gun. Wolfgang Petersen, who's latest film The Perfect Storm is killer, does a wonderful job of directing, keeping the action and the pace of the movie tight and keeping you on the edge of your seat. If you missed it at the theaters you owe it to yourself to see this film. If you are a fan of action flicks....well then you likely already own this.Movie Review: Watch while standing hand-on-heart and saluting.

Great news for all you fans of good ol' American action movies: word is out that there's a sequel to Air Force One about to go into production shortly. This time there will be more heart-stopping action scenes: we see Harrison Ford, as president again, going hammers and tongs in hand to hand combat on the wing of a F16 Fighter plane that's flying at speeds approaching close to Mach 2. Film execs reason, that if Ford could withstand wind-force of over 500mph on the wing of a 747 jet in the first film, hell, what's an additional 600mph going to do to this hero - ruffle his hair up a bit more? And, if you feel the need to question the credibility of all this - you ain't no true-blue American patriot; maybe, you should be watching those 'arty' European films that only those with half an education can understand and appreciate. Cheers all and God bless America.
Movie Review: AIR FORCE ONE!
Summary: 5 Stars
I swear that "Air Force One" is really a Tom Clancy/Jack Ryan story. I mean, HARRISON FORD plays Jack Ryan (or did at the time) and in the latest Tom Clancy books Jack Ryan is President, and here is Harrison Ford as PRESIDENT JAMES MARSHALL! Sounds logical to me! Here is a President who FIGHTS BACK against terrorists! GARY OLDMAN gets to play the terrorist, who is some sort of RUSSIAN neo-natioanolist type named Korshunov! Everybody on the plane wants the president to be SAFE, but not our HERO! Nice job by GLENN CLOSE as the Vice-President with DEAN STOCKWELL doing an Al Haig impersonation and WILLIAM MACY as a regular air force guy! Solid ACTION film from director WOLFGANG PETERSEN, but I sure am curious what the Secret Service and the USAF think about the stuff that happens for the terrorist to take over the plane!Movie Review: This is a great DVD and sound system demonstration
Summary: 5 Stars
I like this DVD because I can skip over all the "disbelief" stuff written into this "popcorn fodder" and go write into the effects chapters. Wolfgang Petersen is one of my favorite directors and he knows how to do action films. The writing on this picture is not one of his best efforts but the editing and special effects make it shine. The KC-10 Tanker blowing up is spectacular along with the USAF F-15 fighters attacking the MiG's. The air to air rescue is believable from an operations standpoint but it takes two very skilled pilots to maintain speed and altitude for the transfers. The crash of AFO looks a a bit cheesy--could have been better done. The Jerry Goldsmith score is thundering and plays well over a nice sound system. The picture transfer and 5 to 1 dolby is first rate. This one is worth having.
