Movie Reviews of Firefox
Movie Review: firefox works better than it should but oh is it long
Summary: 3 Stars
firefox takes place back when the u.s.s.r. was still our major threat to world peace and the stealth plane was just a dream. so eastwood (who also directed this mess) is a pilot with major war hang ups who "happens to fit the flight suit" of the3 ussr's newest weapon the foxfire plane. so off to russia he goes to steale it. and after two long, long, hours he final gets into the cockpit of the plane and the movie no pun intended takes off with john dystra f/x (the guy behind star wars) and the next 15 to 20 mins. are great. clint never really seems at ease with the spy part or the f/x parts so i only gove it 3 starsMovie Review: Great story suffers from poor FX.
Summary: 3 Stars
Cold war tensions somewhat lost in today's society but still a terrific suspense ride for Eastwood fans. If there was ever a candidate for re-tooling and re-release this is it and I'd pay green money to see it. The special effects are laughable by current standards and are distracting from what is otherwise a pretty good flick. 3 PassportsMovie Review: Fun Fun Fun
Summary: 3 Stars
One of those movies I wish I'd seen at aged 12 on a Saturday afternoon after the serial and cartoon. Even so, great fun despite some slow bits. A case of let your self go and go along for the ride. Haven't YOU ever dreamt about stealing a jet fighter and going for the ride of your life?Movie Review: Fun Propoganda....with some gaping holes
Summary: 2 Stars
I was rather surprised that Clint Eastwood would be involved in such propoganda. That aside, it did make for a suspenseful story...with a couple of really obvious missteps:1. Why was Gant SO easily persuaded to go along with the mission. I expected at least a half hour or so of rebellion on the part of this ex-Air Force pilot. Instead, he gave in almost instantaneously.
2. Has anyone ever seen the sun come out so fast as it did after Gant pulled the plane from the hangar? Wasn't it supposed to be the middle of the night? All of a sudden, the sun was out when the plane took off. I've seen this kind of screw-up before...I remember seeing it once on the "Adam-12" television show....but never in a major motion picture.
I can't comment as to the reality of the planes, etc., because I am not familiar enough. But if they can't get night and day straight, I have to wonder if ANY thought was put into reality.
Movie Review: The dumbest Cold War movie I ever saw
Summary: 1 Stars
Don't get me wrong : I'm a fierce anti-communist. But the stupidity of this movie is just unbearable. All the american clichés about Russians and USSR are reunited here, and it should be studied at school as an example of gross caricature. The ridiculous russian language imitations, the dissenters presented as "freedom soldiers", whereas a child knows today they NEVER used violence as a mean to achieve their goals, the Jews presented as traitors (the scientist's wife looks like Ethel Rosenberg) the idea of stealing so easily such a weapon, the reaction of Secretary general (and not Premier), to send another Firefox, whereas he could just use this incident to accuse the United States of stealing... If you should see an intelligent Cold War movie, check out White Nights (it's a shame it isn't on DVD yet) or the 7th Protocol, far more intelligent than this gross, highly unprobable childish parody. The chase "Star Wars like" scene is WAY too long and looks dated today. Clint Eastwood, shame on you.
