Movie Reviews of Navy Seals
Movie Review: Great shooter movie
Summary: 5 Stars
Great movie, must own, more Delta Force than S.E.A.L.S. for missions. But it was great, brings back old memories from the old days.Movie Review: The Navy SEALs seem pleased with Michael Biehn's performance?
Summary: 4 Stars
I love the movie, but readily admit there are parts that could most definitely use some serious improvement. It does, however, have lots of action, emotional moments, and even comedic relief throughout; making it fun to watch no matter what mood you're in.
I believe the SEALs deserve the utmost respect and was a bit upset that some parts of the movie, a movie bearing their name, didn't seem to do them justice. Though I don't know how your average Navy SEAL feels about the movie itself; they seem to be very pleased with Michael Biehn's (yay!) portrayal as a Navy SEAL. I read an article (I'm not sure if I'm allowed to cite in a review, an internet search should lead you to it though - fan club) that said the SEALs were excited about the prospect of Mr. Biehn being the narrator for the U.S. Navy UDT/SEAL Museum in Florida's new film. The film (I believe, as I haven't had a chance to visit the museum yet) is running continuously, showing the history and evolution of the United States Navy SEALs. Biehn, honored, narrated it for free. The SEALs seem to feel that Michael Biehn's depictions as a SEAL in "Navy SEALs" and "The Rock" were very accurate and well done. This is further evidenced by the fact that after his part in the museum film was completed, he received a special honor from Rear Admiral E.T. Olsen; he was awarded with a plaque and named Honorary Frogman for Life. This is a real honor since the SEALs say that the Admiral has only done this a few times and rarely gives such glowing compliments to anyone.
So, though the movie has it's faults, and what movie doesn't, it's still a good movie. Give it a try and enjoy if for what it is, a movie. If you're a Michael Biehn fan, it's a must see. Also, though Charlie Sheen's portrayal of a SEAL may not, putting it mildly, be the greatest, don't be too harsh a judge; remember, he's just doing the best he can, which is pretty darn good, with the shoddy part he's given.
Movie Review: pretty realistic
Summary: 4 Stars
This film to start off with is pretty good for one made in 1990. Its starts off with quite a bit of intensity as it performs an introduction of the people in the team and the true nature of there missions , it also shows there dedication and amazing skill and all that in just the introduction. This film focuses allot on the characters and the trust between team mates, it also explains the life of a seal pretty well and the ups and downs of being in the seals, and there responsibility in missions. I think anyone who sees this film will be impressed with the realism especially that in the missions as there real extremes are shown. Overall the mission scenes are very realistic, and Charlie Sheen is the craziest in the team, the only down side I think there is, is that there isn't enough emphasis on just how amazingly hard it is it is to get into the seals and just how tough you have to be, otherwise its a well made seals film.Movie Review: JUST ENTERTAINMENT!
Summary: 4 Stars
Any movie [almost] that gives an idea of what our guys go through should be appreciated.
As to characters, Michael Biehn and Charlie Sheen did very well - if you object to some of it, go back to the writer and director.
Sorry but I missed recognizing Bill Paxton but loved the action [am I mistaken or was the DVD missing some parts that were in the video?]
Charlie Sheen's character - well there is almost one in every movie to provide conflict. A character that must learn by his mistakes - a bit of a smart aleck.
If it does nothing more that encourage you to pray for our guys in combat, then the movie was a sucess. At the very least it is just entertainment if you don't take it too personally.
Hopefully another one just like it will be that much better as we get into better tech. Enjoy, it is not that bad.
Movie Review: misinformed viewers
Summary: 4 Stars
I have read many reviews that have been compared to the "real" SEALs.I would agree, there are some parts about the film that seem unbelievable. However, if you are going to do enough research into the SEAL teams to "know" this movie is unrealistic, here is an idea for you. Research a navy SEAL team called Red Cell. After reading about it, you will agree that this movie is almost exactly to a tee on how that team operated. Keep that in mind next time you watch the film.
