A great adventure escape from reality

Rating: 10/10 (5 September 2003)

Do you remember reading those adventure comic books when you were a kid? They were full of action, adventure, improbabilities, women in distress, good guys always win. The adventure comic books were great escape from reality. They were based on fact, but not always one hundred percent accurate. They were good, and I loved 'em. I think that is why I like this movie so much; for the same reasons. I have a huge collection of war and adventure movies, and I place this one at the top of my favorites. If you are an analytical purist who thinks that a movie must be perfect to be entertaining, you will be critical of this movie. If on the other hand you just like to be entertained by an adventure which lets you escape reality for a couple of hours, this one's for you.
