    Who sank this true story into a sea of v

    By Yahoo! Shopping User  Jan 29, 2001 | 1 out of 1 found this The Perfect Storm (2000) review helpful

    My goodness this movie really does go out to sea. The effects, YES, they are brilliant, but the human drama is so water logged its only emotion it can wring from you is one of hilarity. I clung to my lifeboat while my friends fell laughing all around... me, I refused to buy into their cynicism until near the end when Mark Whalberg is delivering what appears to be a rendition of Jim Morrison's bad poetry to his girl while about to be destoyed by a tidal wave. A perfect storm dosnt make up for an abysmal screenplay. I was as disapointed as the captain of the Titanic. Blub blub blub... Read more Less

    See the movie and then read the book

    By Yahoo! Shopping User  Jan 25, 2001 | 1 out of 1 found this The Perfect Storm (2000) review helpful

    The book is rather dry and non-engaging, but does explain things quite well: weather, the sea, sword fishing, etc. But the movie does a better job of engaging the viewer and bringing the characters to life.

    "Do they all have to die???"

    By Yahoo! Shopping User  Feb 3, 2007

    Pros: Excellent effects, cinematography, cast

    Cons: dragging pacing

    A realistic, but fairly done, adaptation of Sebastian Junger's best-selling autobiographic tale.

    The Imperfect Storm

    By Yahoo! Shopping User  Feb 1, 2001

    Lots of special effects in this, but it's just not very good. Everyone seems very calm in the end, which is a bit unbelievable. And the voice-over connection from hundreds of miles away is downright silly. Big tidal waves and lots of fish though, ...so it's got that going for it...which is nice. Read more Less

    Crud Movie

    By Yahoo! Shopping User  Dec 8, 2000

    WAAAAAYYYY too much hipe over this movie.

    Wahlberg and Clooney are good in the movie, but the story line is WEAK!!! You know from the get-go what's going to happen.

    Very good special effects, but the rest stunk.

    Great movie

    By Yahoo! Shopping User  Dec 6, 2000

    The computer creation of the storm is great. But the build up to the storm is tedious. One has to go through a lot of trash talk. But then they are only fishermen. All in all a great movie about a real life event.

    Better than Titanic!!!!!!

    By Yahoo! Shopping User  Dec 2, 2000

    I saw it in the theaters and bought the DVD. I highly recommend this movie. It is so much based on the actual event. I remeber when the tradegy happened. Myself, I have been to the banks in Mass on a boat. It's a wonderful place. It's too bad that t...he people on the boat died. If only the storm never hit or they stayed where they were. They would be alive today!!!! If you really wanna know what happened, then this movie is worth the money to purchase. Look at all the bad ratings. That is so pathetic. I guess these people don't know what a good movie is, especially when its based on a true story. Read more Less
