Hackers

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: 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: 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: 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: 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: 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: 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: Good movie, lots of action
Cons: not exactly technically right, but oh well

Zero cool, an 11 year old kid named dade murphy....who crashes 1507 computer systems with a virus he created, goes to court and is put on probation, which prohibits him from owning or operating a computer or touch tone telephone until his 18th birthday....

Pros: not enough violence
Cons: none

I saw this movie because it had a good soundtrack and it had everything that I love about movies, this would be normals versus the man. This movie had everything that I like in most movies. This movie had violence, music, teenagers against...

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: This is such a bad computer movie that I can't stop watching it
Cons: This movie can only be watched as a B-Movie

Hackers was pitched as a cyber thriller about a team of hackers that must prevent an ecological disaster from occuring. The plot goes a little somthing like this. There is a gang of highly developed hackers that just happen to be in high school. One...

Pros: Love Story, humorous, fun
Cons: unrealistic

This movie is extremely unrealistic, but that is what is so great about it. From seeing the cover of the movie, I was reluctant to rent a movie about hackers, I felt it would just be about people constantly on their computers; however, my favorite...
