I don't plan on seeing this one again

Rating: 5/10 (29 June 2000)

Being not a fan of Mel Gibson, nor the slightest bit inclined to see the movie based upon the previews, I didn't have high expectations. Surprisingly, I was still let down. The storyline was horrible, the movie dragged on forever while 90 minutes would have been more than sufficient. Usually my emotions come into play during the emotional parts, but despite this movie's seemingly strong efforts to provoke my emotions, it simply did not and failed pretty miserably. The backdrops were horrible, obviously artwork.. forgettable characters.. mildy decent acting, Mel playing a typical role for him.. nothing new here.. music sounded extremely similar to the theme of "Jurassic Park"... there's just nothing good to be said about this movie. It will probably do well over the holiday weekend because of its patriotism and will make people feel more patriotic, but other than being a gimmick to get massive crowds at the theatres, this movie stinks. I give it a 4/10.
