polishgenius Posted July 16 Share Posted July 16 I did really like MI7, but yeah, less elegant than Fallout. Also: could have done with Jason Momoa. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tywin et al. Posted July 16 Share Posted July 16 1 hour ago, Veltigar said: Continuing on with the 90s binge, I have also started a sub-binge of submarine movies. I first watched The Hunt for Red October and then I popped in Crimson Tide. I'm already going to preface this by saying I'm about to unleash a somewhat controversial opinion, but here it goes, The Hunt for Red October has not aged well. It is a turkey of a film and I lost interest in it about 3/4 of the way through. I can't remember whether I ever saw it before, but it did nothing for me. The basic problem is that the plot is just terrible. I understand Tom Clancy built his career on the back of the success of the novel that this was based on, but I sure hope that was better than the film adaptation, which is basically just a series of travel vignettes strung together by Russian Sean Connery planning the most unrealistic defection ever. I felt it was entirely artless and boring to booth. Have to disagree. I watched it for the first time not that long ago and really enjoyed it. The movie is slow as hell, I can't argue against that, but it's really interesting as things unfold. It's not an all-time great in my book, but it's one of the better movies that takes place in a sub. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ran Posted July 16 Share Posted July 16 I rewatched The Hunt for Red October awhile ago after not having seen it in years, and fall between the two extremes here. It doesn't hold up as well as I remembered, but I wouldn't call it a turkey either. That said, Crimson Tide beats the pants off of it as far as entertainment.
