Air Force One

Pros: great acting, good effects, decent suspense factor
Cons: plot holes, reality casts the movie in a different light

Is the era of the Hollywood blockbuster action over? I think that's a question everyone is asking right now, and the answer isn't coming any time soon. Before September 11, 2001, movies like Independence Day were considered family fare. ...

Pros: Some good action sequences, some decent characters...
Cons: ... predictable script, uninvolving, doesn't make best use of a good cast...

In Air Force One, US President James Marshall (Harrison Ford) is put in a tough position when his newly expounded policy of non-tolerance to terrorists (following the capture of a general in Kazakhstan) is put to the test, involving him in a very ...

Pros: Wolfgang Petersen's directing, Andrew Marlowe's script, Harrison Ford's screen presence, Jerry Goldsmith's score
Cons: Requires SOME suspension of disbelief.

Pre-takeoff Preliminaries: Musings and Comments. 1997 was a very good year for me as a movie-goer. I not only got to see the 20th Anniversary Special Edition re-releases of the original Star Wars Trilogy (which, of course, co-starred the top-billed ...

Pros: Nice special effects
Cons: Extremely stupid story

The time is the present. One of our elite strike forces has just captured a renegade general in Kazakhstan, and in celebration of the success of that mission, United States President James Marshall (Harrison Ford), has made a very moving speech in Moscow...

Pros: Harrison Ford and Wolfgang Peterson have created a visual feast and a credible action adventure
Cons: Nothing that I can truly recall

I've never met a Harrison Ford role I didn't like. (Okay, I lied...there IS What Lies Beneath -- Ford should NOT play bad guys! See my review for more details.) That being said, however, Air Force One was the actor's most recent ...

Pros: fast paced, great acting
Cons: not long enough!

I have always loved to watch Harrison Ford, and seeing this movie was quite the natural progression. I found the story line intriguing, and wanted to see how Harrison Ford would carry it off. I was not disappointed.

This movie is...

Pros: Action, suspense, and excitement fill this movie. There's never a dull moment. The acting is great, and it is pretty believable.
Cons: Nothing really hurts this movie enough to list.

The president has been portrayed by many actors over the years, many which are suitable but some make no sense at all. I think that Harrison Ford was due for his presidential tenure, and he ended up landing in the "suitable President" category...

Pros: Fast Paced Action, Great Acting from All
Cons: Was over too soon

Harrison Ford has been one of my favorite actors ever since Star Wars. I've followed him through the Indiana Jones series and some of his other serious roles and also Six Days Seven Nights. I've watched Air Force One several times and I wasn't...

Pros: Exciting, fairly realistic, tense, Harrison Ford
Cons: A bit of PC, Glenn Close

Movie: AIR FORCE ONE
TerranEmpire Rating: 8.9/10

Main Plot:

Air Force One (the President's plane) is hijacked by terrorists wanting to ransom the US President for the release of a high ranking general currently in prison. I...

Pros: It'll keep your interest from start to finish
Cons: If that mouse asked me for a glass of milk, I'd tell him where to stick it!

No matter who or what Harrison Ford plays, he runs the attitude right up the flagpole, and I salute. Han Solo started that whole thing, and I don't know that I've seen a Ford role yet where Solo's cockiness didn't shine through, especially in that...

Pros: Great Action
Cons: None

Airforce One, is among my favorite movies. There are several reasons I like the movie so much. One of the main reasons is I am big into aviation. I also like good action movies and found the action waiting for me in this movie. Harrison Ford provides a...

Pros: Harrison Ford.
Cons: A preposterous plot--but what action film story isn't?

If the President's private plane, Air Force One, were hijacked, it's highly unlikely that President Clinton (or any real-life Chief Executive) would go mano a mano with the terrorists. But this is Hollywood, where wimpy presidents just don't sell. So we...

Pros: Very entertaining.
Cons: none

Now here's the type of American President everyone will love. This no nonsense, strong family man is abroad Air Force One when it gets hijacked. Will he stay and fight or sercome to his responsibility to the people; by being in a secured place. This...

Pros: Harrison Ford, action, suspense
Cons: None

For the guy who was told that he would never make it as an actor, Harrison Ford sure does a great job in this one.

As the President of the United States, Ford makes you want to run out and place a write in vote for him in the next...

Pros: Great casting, great acting
Cons: A bit of a reach...

....there would be a man with the courage, moral character, and passion that James Marshall displays so well in 'Air Force One.' If there were such a person, the country wouldn't have to go through all of the debates, conventions, and the greater ills...
