Hackers

Pros: The story, the music, the set.Matthew Lillard.
Cons: most of the acting

I realize in writing this that Hackers is not one of the worst movies ever to be made. To some, it may even be one of the best. I’ll concede that. However, I think that now, and possibly down the road a pace, there are several people who may...

Pros: great soundtrack, early Angelina Jolie film, awesome culture reference, well-made film
Cons: absurd hacking simulations, some over the top cheesy dialog

Despite its B-movie premise and in retrospect, a ton of absurd demonstrations of hacking, Hackers is a perfect snapshot of the mid 90s teenager life, when raves were at its peak of popularity, computer technology was feared but at its pinnacle of hype, ...

Pros: Fun, nice love story subplot
Cons: Unrealistic

The writer's of Hackers probably own iMacs! I could not believe how horribly unrealistic every single aspect of computing was depicted in this film. Even so, it's fun to watch and has a great cast.

The opening few minutes of the film are...

Pros: Cool idea, some good acting, decent soundtrack and nice design
Cons: Bad acting, very unreal which is irritating sometimes

I知 not a hacker. I知 not a computer science major. I知 not a specialist in computers. I知 not any of those cool smart people who know how it really looks inside, therefore I知 just rating the movie for its performance and the way I view it. I kick out...

Pros: Just big, dumb, cheesy fun.
Cons: weak writing, nonexistant set design

There's a weird Taming of the Shrew thing going on in Hackers. The lead female character's name is Kate, and she's kind of nasty, but she happens to be smarter than all the boys she hangs out with. She falls for a Greek god of a hacker...

Pros: Interesting plot, though it fails to deliver
Cons: Oddball cast, unconvincing plot

Hackers, this is the movie I chose to watch last weekend at 2:00am. As I began getting into Angelina Jolie's acting, I decided this would be the one to follow the beautiful move "Girl, Interrupted" which I will hopefully write about in the very...

Pros: soundtrack, high-energy, acting
Cons: only good for some audiences, cheesy plot

I saw this movie because my "computer nerd" friends told me how cool it was, and my "computer nerd" epinion agreed.

Although this is my FAVORITE MOVIE and have watched it over 35 times, I only give it 3 stars since I am an...

Pros: Early Angelina Jolie
Cons: Everything else

I've spent a lot of time around computer people, and indeed consider myself something of a computer person myself. The people in this movie, those computer geeks would tell you, are not "hackers" (people who explore computer systems for...

Pros: Rebellion goes cyber
Cons: None

One of my personal favorites "Hackers" led the way to cyber movies. This film has Jonny Lee Miller cast as Dade Murphy (Zero Cool/Crash Override), Angelina Jolie (Girl Interrupted) as Kate Libby (Acid Burn), Jesse Bradford as Joey, Matthew Lillard...

Pros: An opening into a fantasy world that doesn't involve dragons or cyborgs
Cons: totally unrealistic view of Hackers.

I still remember 5 years ago, the first time I rented this movie completely unassuming to the world, and stuffed it into the vcr to watch for the first time. I was 16, and very very bored, not to mention completely directionless.

I...

Pros: A movie that can be watched and enjoyed by teens and preteens
Cons: Could use better editing

This is my son's favorite movie, so I know his review of this movie would be glowing. Unfortunately, I am 27 years his senior, and the essence of this movie was rather lost on me.

The actors are all good. Johnny Lee Miller is a doll,...

Pros: Music, Costumes and Angelina Jolie
Cons: none, a wonderful escape from reality

First of all, at the time this came out, there were really only 2 other computer films to look back on: 'Tron' and 'Electric Dreams.' Now, back in the day, these were great. We all saw the 'Laser' in Tron supposedly dematerialize the Apple, and then...

Pros: Good fun, Stylistically beautiful
Cons: Outdated....way outdated

I love this movie. It's fun, fun, and hilarious. "It's all about the pentiums" The pentium 100 and 16.7 million color screens were introduced in this outdated computer movie. But for those of you who can remember the good ol' days, this...

Pros: good plot, well developed charecters
Cons: a little too dramatic.

Hackers was an excelent movie.... Most of it was a little "Beyond Real" but hacking is real and I have had to stop real hackers. I likes the part where Crash hacked the sprinklers... , I also like how Burn handled him in the TV station computer...

Pros: Great movie, all around!
Cons: Outdated, cheesy in some respects

When I first saw this movie, I fell in love. Yes, it's outdated (as clearly seen in the scene when they stare in awe at a 28.8 bps modem and a Active-Dot Matrix). Yes, it's unreal (the swirling pictures of algebraic equations doesn't happen in life; in...
