Movie Reviews of In Harm's Way
Movie Review: BEST OLD WWII FILM IN THE PACIFIC
Summary: 5 Stars
Truly an all star studded cast for fans of the classic films: John Wayne, Kirk Douglas, Patricia Neal, Dana Andrews, Burgess Meredith, including smaller roles by actors who would later take on main roles in other films: Carrol O'Connor and George Kennedy come to mind. Interesting take on peacetime commanders vs. commanders made for the fires of war. There are a lot of sub plots in this WWII tale so be ready. I appreciated that we finally had an old film about the Pacific Theater which focused on the logistics of a naval task force and gave us a depiction of the second day of the Battle of Guadalcanal. Several elements of this film would later inspire the re-imagined BATTLESTAR GALACTICA series, especially that of Admiral Adama and his right hand man. WHEN WATCHED: May 2010; MY GRADE: A minus.Movie Review: Wonderful movie!
Summary: 5 Stars
Not your typical John Wayne playing John Wayne in another John Wayne movie. This movie is around three hours long and well worth the watching. Everytime you think it is over, they throw another twist at you that brings an entirely new storyline into perspective. The only thing I will say is that you might feel a little overwhelmed the first time you watch this movie... there is a LOT of information! As a side note, I have played at the site where the movie starts. Every year, on December 6, they have a "In Harms Way" dinner and dance and get the Pacific Fleet Big Band to come out and play. It was very interesting to watch the movie having been right there playing at the same spot, though many years later.Movie Review: A genuine love story
Summary: 5 Stars
This is a war movie; certainly and a terrific one at that. The action sequences are convincing. The assorted relationships convey something of life in a war-time setting. However, for me at least, the revelation in this film is the relationship between the characters played by John Wayne and Patricia Neal. For one thing, it is a genuine love story. For another, to see John Wayne acting in this and other touching contexts, is something to behold. It is well worth watching and for me, time and again!e-Dreams e-LOVEMovie Review: The Best Of The Pearl Harbor Movies!!
Summary: 5 Stars
This is the movie that I wish Disney was just releasing. A movie that shows older characters, as well as younger ones. I've never seen John Wayne in a role more suited for him than this one. His on-screen presence with Patricia Neal is wonderful. Throw in Kirk Douglas, Henry Fonda, Slim Pickens, & Carroll O'Connor, and you've got quite a cast. Who could they possibly cast now-days to match these performers. As for the DVD...it is of exceptional quality! The widescreen image will show you scenes you will have never seen before (unless you caught it when it was first released). Get this movie, and forget the latest Pearl Harbor movie...you'll be very happy you did!Movie Review: The Greatest John Wayne Movie Of All Time.
Summary: 5 Stars
This movie maybe more than any other JW movie shows how unappreciated the Big Man's acting truly was. How he had to wait until the 70's for an Academy Award, speaks volumes to exactly what is wrong with Hollywood and the Acadamy voting process. If you are are fan of JW or the WWII genre movies, you must buy this DVD. If I had to find anything wrong with the movie, it would be the directors use of model ships to simulate the battle scenes. With the cast in this movie, you would think that they could have pony'd up a little cash for some stock WWII Pacific naval footage. That being said, THIS MOVIE ROCKS! BUY IT NOW!
