Interesteg What makes it different from others?

ScoobyMint Disappointment for a huge fan!

Quiet Muffin This movie tries so hard to be funny, yet it falls flat every time. Just another example of recycled ideas repackaged with women in an attempt to appeal to a certain audience.

Dark_Lord_Mark Just when I think I have seen all the slightly over the top, cheesy, crazy one liners, insane Nic Cage action movies, this enters my life.I was very afraid to see this movie. The reviews claimed top gun but not as awesome. I think this is more awesome but very cheesy.Nic Cage gets a bad rap. With so many bad actors getting a free pass such as Samuel Jackson and in recent times Bruce Willis who now collects pay checks rather than acts, I really wonder if he's just a whipping boy as he represents an era when movies were made for guys.This is about helicopter pilots and Cage is the young hotshot who is awesomely over the top. When he runs he overacts, when he drives he overacts, when he makes love he overacts. His love interest Sean Young just does a terrible acting job herself, but Tommy Lee Jones is excellent as the wily veteran who is their to reign in the cocky young kid in Cage.Excellent fun film with cheesy action. Lovers of movies get this movie while guys who love Broke Back Mountain simply cannot wrap they heads around why this movie is awesome.It's a solid 10 out of 10 in terms of being a guy movie, but to be snobbish I will give it a 7 out of 10. The last fight scene is so awesome.

Elswet This is definitely NOT a Top Gun wannabe, as some have labeled it.Nicolas Cage, at 26, stars in this exciting Bush, Sr. era-based actioner involving the former president's promise to assist any and all countries who ask for help in battling drug lords and their business.Cage may have been the star of this film, but Tommy Lee Jones stole the limelight...utterly. He shines through, and his co-starring role eclipses everyone else, including Cage. Fitting, all things considered, as Tommy Lee Jones was in his prime and already a seasoned actor at this time. This film showcases some great action segments, awesome aerial sequences, and a solid story. I was thoroughly entertained, and miss the days of good, quality actioners.This rates an 8.4/10 from...the Fiend :.

markht-1 The use of helicopters against jet fighters isn't as far-fetched as another reviewer claimed; an experimental exercise at Operation RED FLAG years ago demonstrated that, counter-intuitively, attack choppers actually do very well against jets as they are far more maneuverable. But there are other reasons why we won't generally see Apaches used against MiGs in air combat. "FIREBIRDS" was a good movie if all you're interested in is aerial photography and action. Some of the dialog was puerile beyond belief, and the "ex lovers" ploy between the two leads was clichéd as all get-out. Purely for aerial adventure: A- All other elements: D-

rotisserieguru OK, spoiler alert!!! Part of the plot revolves around the fact that Nicolas Cage's character, a crack helicopter pilot, is having a problem passing a test because of a hand-eye coordination problem. His helmet has a monocle device that feeds information to his right eye, but he's left-eye dominant, meaning that he has problems controlling the copter while he's getting the info. So Tommy Lee Jones spends time, effort and energy (as well as wasting a perfectly good pair of red panties) to help him overcome this eye dominance problem.My question is... why didn't the Army just give him a helmet with a left-eye monocle??? I can't believe that they wouldn't be able to do this! That, ladies and gentlemen, is the reason why this movie is B-A-D!!!
