Pros: Clooney, Wahlberg, Lane, Mastrantonio
Cons: slows down at points, actors accents
The Perfect Storm was one of those movies that I had wanted to see when it was released in the theater, but that I never got around to watching. I guess maybe I just didn’t want to pay the money to watch a “sea” movie because I thought ...

Billy Tyne's voice: The fogs just lifting. Throw off you're bow line, throw off you're stern. You head out to South channel, past Rocky Neck, Ten pound island. Past Niles Pond where I skated as a kid. Blow you're air horn and throw a wave to the ...

Pros: Great cast, excellent effects, lots of action
Cons: Like a hurricane, it doesn't let up for ever a second
I tried so very hard to think of a title for this Epinion that did not contain the word 'perfect'. Oh well.

Pros: tells a true story
Cons: the storm wins, we know it, they all die, we are left really depressed
The film, The Perfect Storm, starring Mark Wahlberg and George Clooney, deserves to win the Oscar for Most Depressing Movie of the year.
Having just finished watching it, I feel much more down than I had when I began watching this film. The...

Cons: No character development

Pros: Small waves and ripples of tension-
Cons: Anti-climatic, shallow performances-lacking depth
What could be labeled as the Perfect Winter storm is circling my area of Upstate New York as I write this epinion, with one foot of snow already here and a resurgence on the way. I am as excited about all of this snow as I was about watching Perfect...

Pros: good storm, i'm glad I didn't pay to see it.
Cons: bad everything else
After all the hype surrounding this movie I was looking forward to finally seeing it. I noticed it was the feature movie for the month on Sky Satellite TV. We made sure to be at home and settled in front of the TV at 8:30 that evening.

by Grouch - Top 200, Sep 02 '00
Pros: A (mostly) first-rate cast rides out a storm of bad dialogue and a (completely) first-rate director whips up white-knuckled action
Cons: "Glub-glub-glub"---that's the sound this movie's dialogue makes
Water, water, everywhere,
Nor any drop to drink.
—Samuel Taylor Coleridge
The Rime of the Ancient Mariner (1798)
You can lead an audience to a water movie,
But you don’t have to make them think.

Pros: Keeps your attention the whole time!
Cons: Reality, not a fairy tale
I wanted to see this movie for several reasons. I love movies about natural disasters, such as storms (hurricanes). I was also curious to see the actors George Clooney and Mark Wahlberg in action together. I thought the movie was great, and ditto for...

by mgreber - Top 1000, May 01 '01
Pros: Great visuals and passable performances, given the material
Cons: A laughable script and too much time spent away from the boat
On the list of books I’ve enjoyed that I thought had no chance of successful film adaptation, The Perfect Storm ranked right near the top. It’s a story that sets out with the knowledge of a sad ending, and worse yet, the majority of the film is...
