Jackyl-8

That's exactly what I said after seeing this movie. I was hesitant because I haven't thought any of their previous movies were funny at all, but this one was a gem. Alec Baldwin was absolutely halarious, as was most of the rest of the cast. There's not a whole lot I can say other than to recomend that you see this film if you're into laughing, if you're not then go rent any of the other Farrelly bothers movies.

This movie seemed to last forever. I can't understand how anyone with at least the intelligence of a gnat could find anything worthwhile in this "film". First of all the direction was so unimaginative that my grandmother could have done a better job and she's been dead for over 20 years. It's a telling sign that a director has no real skill at movie making when he has to resort to using slow motion every 10 minutes. The dialog was so mind numbing that after a while my friend and I had to start making fun of the film just to entertain ourselves. The acting was absolutely horrible and amateurish. Tom Cruise seemed as though he was just going through the motions. I know this guy can act, he did a slendid job in Magnolia and Born On The Fourth Of July, but more often than not he simply sucks. I realize sometimes action flicks are not long on dialog or plot but usually they have some good action and at least dialog that's at a second grade level, this film had neither. I wouldn't even recommend renting this when it comes out.

No question the special effects in this movie (especailly the first 30 minutes) was great. But I don't consider a movie great if special effects are all it has. This movie was not very good other than special effects. It was just like all the other war movies I have seen. But I guess when you're Steven Spielberg you can throw up in the camera and the resulting "film" people will flock to see.
