Movie Reviews of Fire Birds
Movie Review: Awful "Top Gun" rip-off!
Summary: 1 Stars
This movie is the epitome of foolish Hollywood retreading. The plot is almost a scene for scene recreation of "Top Gun," simply replacing the Air Force uniforms for Army, and the F-14 Tomcat jets with AH-64 Apache helicopters. Oh, and the ATROCIOUS performance of a young Nick Cage for (then-still-sane) Tom Cruise. Even the VERY-80s, jet fighter movie "Iron Eagle" isn't as corny, unrealistic, or plagiaristic of "Top Gun" as "Fire Birds" is.
To make things worse, the female lead is played by the ever-manly Sean Young. She's about as feminine as Arnold Schwarzenegger in that pregnant man movie. Awful. Her notable career started and ended with "Blade Runner."
I can't emphasize enough how truly bad this movie is. It's not even bad enough to be funny. It's just so stale, the dialog is so fake, and for anyone who's seen "Top Gun" even once, it's SUCH a rip-off, that there is no joy to be had, even in watching the dogfight scenes at the end of the movie (which, btw, for anyone who has been in the Army and knows what an Apache can actually do in combat, is COMPLETELY unrealistic and fake. I kept screaming, "It's NOT a JET!").
For the love of all you may hold holy, DO NOT BUY OR EVEN WATCH THIS MOVIE!
Movie Review: Calling this a terrible B-grade movie is a compliment.
Summary: 1 Stars
first off, i am truly shocked at the positive reviews this movies is getting. Its ridiculous. One would normally expect a fair plot and decent acting from some credible actors of the likes of Nic Cage and Tommy Lee Jones. They must have been pretty desperate at that time cos this movie stinks bad! The so called story deals with attacking drug cartels in 'south america'! i find this hilarious the way they refer to 'South America' in context almost as a country , which could mean anywhere from Venezuela to Argentina.
If the acting and story wasn't bad enough, the way they depicted Apaches in this film is even worse. This is definitely one for the dustbin.
A very generous zero stars.
Movie Review: Couldn't be more wrongerererer
Summary: 1 Stars
As stated in other reviews, this movie is a joke. Granted the cinematography is good, and there's excitement, but if you film a pig flying and have good cinematography and story, you'd get the same 'excitement'. I also am in Army aviation, and it's disappointing to have such a deviation from the truth filmed. Many movies make some adjustments that border on reality and some go outside that boundary. This movie transcends to another plane of existence and commits suicide. If I were an actor and offered a role in this movie, I would have run away knowing the repercussions it would have on my career.Movie Review: Probably the worst movie ever
Summary: 1 Stars
I mistakenly wrote this review for Blue Thunder. I just realized it was Fire Birds that I was thinking of, so I've deleted that review and moved it here.
I saw this movie in the theaters when I was around 13. This movie has stood out since then as one of the worst movies I've ever seen. It was so boring. The dialog was horrible, even for someone my age then. I've tried to block this movie from my memory ever since.
My daughter just got the Hello Kitty movie. It's more exciting than this movie was. I recommend it over this waste of money.
Movie Review: Worst Movie I've Ever Seen (exept "I Am The Cheeze")
Summary: 1 Stars
I was in the Army when this came out, working on helicopters. I saw the movie at Travis AFB in California....well, as much as I saw. I DID walk out of the theatre. Even yelling quips at all of the cheezy lines (and there are plenty) wasn't entertainment enough to keep me from screaming at my shoes. I left fuming and spent the next hour waiting in a cold M1008 for the rest of my buddies to get done watching it. I'm sickened watching Nicholas Cage to this very day.
