Well I loved Nic Cage in this. He was goofy and got to play off super serious Sean Connery, who is definitely a worthless bastard who needs to be beaten into old man mush in real live but still plays the epitome of Old Badass cool.

Also Michael Bay's best work is not a title with much competition. The explosions made sense, the characters were likeable, even the bad guys who were not just 2D evil dudes.

It was a solid flick. Much fun.

The only way to enjoy that movie is to embrace the cheese. It's incredibly dumb but as a big, dumb movie, incredibly entertaining.

It's one of my guilty Nic-Cage-in-a-90's-movie pleasures (the other is Con Air). I don't know why I can stand his 90's crap but CAN'T stand any of the crap he has done later.

Except, there are two movies where I really, really think he's a good actor: Leaving Las Vegas and Adaptation. It's just like he insists on doing bad movies even though the talent is there. It's so weird.

I've always been fascinated by Nic Cage's film career choices. I do quite like him and he's been in more than just a handful of films I like, but I do wonder what motivates him to do such a weird array of films. I mean, I understand somewhere in the 2000's apparently his publicist just signed him up to do a bunch of shitty films and he was in too much debt to decline them, but still.

Same guy who did a film like Leaving Las Vegas hams it up in Face/Off but then decides to do a family film like The Family Man. Like, what?

It has moments of cheese, sure, but it's got way more complexity than, say, Armageddon.

Moral shades of grey. Subtlety in characterisation. A deconstruction of James Bond.

Michael Bay went downhill after this.

Ahhh, I love this movie. It's so bad. I love Con Air too, it's possibly even worse, but I love it even more.

I like Nic Cage, I guess. I don't know, he's not a favorite, but I have certainly seen a fuck-ton of Nic Cage movies & I generally derive some enjoyment from them or his performance.

[fishnchips]

I mostly just liked the soundtrack.

[feotakahari]

I felt so bad for the villain character in the end. Everything he did backfired so badly.

I actually like Nic Cage movies because they typically hit a level of 'terrible but fun to watch' for me, the only recent movie of his that I didn't care for was Ghostrider 2 but that's mostly because I wasn't really sure what the movie was doing. I like the first Ghostrider though. And I like The Rock too, solid 90's cheese-fest for me.

[mimi-sardinia.livejournal.com]

I once caught Ghostrider on TV, I agree it's a fun watch.

[(Anonymous)]

It's definitely better than fucking Armageddon

then again I also just genuinely like Nic Cage so there's that

[leisuretime]

I love The Rock. I love Armageddon. Neither are worth angst about which is better than the other.

[(Anonymous)]

I wish more people would talk about how this movie is super fucking fascist

[(Anonymous)]

Huh. I don't think I've ever seen this movie.

I would actually say Bad Boys was better.

[(Anonymous)]

I think people think The Rock is one of his better ones because it was an early one and as such didn't seem so formulaic. Also, it seemed, to me at least, that it embraced its cheesiest.

[emmzzi]

I have Cage issues. Except for Snowdon, and also the film with Cher where he's the brother with a wooden hand, although it was a less enlightned time and I am scared to watch it again in case it's all ableist and I don't like it anymore. Moonstruck? But Cher does look amazing in it and there's opera and crying so maybe.

Wicker Man was just unforgivebale :/
