Fireworks but no substance

Rating: 4/10 (4 August 1999)

This movie just seems to get worse every time you see it. In the cinema, it's a bit of fun (if you don't don't think about it too much), and the visuals are very impressive. They do not, however, make up for the stereotypical characters and almost sickening patriotism, which is especially obvious from the point of view of a non-American. This movie has become the epitome of the big-budget blockbuster: plenty of escapist action, but no soul.
