Fun action movie

Rating: 7/10 (20 August 2012)

Michael Bay is actually one the most underrated director, many peoples don't like him, maybe because of the second degree scenes in a serious story. "The Rock" contains some funny scenes and the movie becomes a bit less good than expected. The movie itself is good but the first hour is a bit ridiculous for example with the complaining of the citizens about Sean Connery when he is chased by Nicolas Cage in the streets of San Francisco. The second hour is better and more serious scenes are present, the second degree is till here from time to time though. Also, some peoples criticize the fact as this movie is available in DVD for The Criterion Collection, which is a DVD collection famous for includes classic movies and foreign ones. It's pretty weird to see this film there, but it probably means as they liked too.
