Movie Reviews of Hell is for Heroes
Movie Review: Steve McQueen gives this film its power
Summary: 3 Stars
Not a bad war movie but not enough to get too excited about. Mr McQueen however makes every move count, even when turning around, and it remains an excellent study in how to make your presence felt on screen. Mr Siegel and Mr McQueen made a formidable pair.Movie Review: One of Bobby Darin's worst movies--but not his fault
Summary: 2 Stars
This is one of Bobby Darin's worst movies, but he's pretty much an innocent victim here. In the first half he's given a lame comic relief role, which he tries to breath life into like a trooper (no pun intended). Then in the second half even that lame task is taken away from him and given to Bob Newhart.
In both halves Steve McQueen pretty much steals the show as other reviewers have noted. Even with McQueen's powerful presence though it seems like a directionless and pointless effort.
Strangly it was one of Darin's most successful films at the box office.
Movie Review: Good ending and begining but middle needs more.
Summary: 2 Stars
The movie starts out ok but nothing to get excited about. There is one witty line. For the most part Steve mcqueen looks out of place with his un shaven face. Everyone else is clean shaven and has a standard issue rifle. The ending has fantastic explosions and I love it. It almost makes up for the lack of content for the rest of the movie. I'll say that it becomes comical when Steve Mcqueen is faster then a speeding bullet. Its surprising he needs a motorcyle in the next movie the great escape.Movie Review: Good acting can't save cliched, shallow script.
Summary: 2 Stars
This will be brief - as the body count rises, what might have been a suspenseful film becomes numbingly repetitive. The characters are types with very done to develop them (and make us care about what happens to them.)
The direction is no more than adequate - the two stars are for the work of the actors, who are all good with very thin material.
Pretty much a waste of an hour and a half of your time (and it seems longer!)
Movie Review: Bob Newhart (the radio operator) said it all
Summary: 1 Stars
I saw this movie one night on late night tv. could not make heads or tails of it. You would think it was a classic right, with McQueen et al? Big stars. There was this one comedy bit with Newhart on the phone trying to reach command that was funny, but very out of place.
Years later I saw Newhart on the Carson show, with Johnny, after he had made it big on two TV series. It was one of the great funny interviews as Newhart explained the worst professional experience of his life was the making of this movie, which he viewed as wretched, was a box office bomb and according to Newhart had no direction and no script!! They eventually ran out of money, spliced in some stock footage. Stopped filming and released it. so skip the movie, get the interview.
