Got to watch the Guardian last night on DVD.
I'm disappointed. Absolutely nothing new here.
I've seen this movie before... Top Gun, Officer and a Gentlemen, Heartbreak Ridge, GI Jane... hell they lifted the ending right out of Vertical Limit.
Yeah... it's pretty and all and we get the joy of seeing Kelso cry real puppy dog tears, but it's just flat and predictable.

I can't imagine a movie I would have less interest in unless it had snakes or snow in it.
Did the movie have snakes or snow?

Hmmm... it started out in Alaska. Does that count?
-
was it the sunny warm alaska or the the miserable cold white covered alaska?

The only acurate things in that movie were these.
HH-60 Helicopter
C-130
Uniforms
The training pool (That's in Elizibeth City NC. Been in that pool before)
Most of the training
One of the guys in the movie is married to an SK1 I work with and he is an ASM1. He was supposed to be a technical advisor for the movie and the director asked him if he would like to be in it instead. Kinda cool.
The restraunt scene with all the hot chicks running around was totaly fake. I live about 40 minutes from Elizibeth City NC where the real school is at and believe me, there isn't a fancy place like that there and I've never seen women that hot in E City EVER.
The bar fight.....yeah right.

My first thought when I saw the previews. I kept looking for Viper and Jester in the background.

The moment I heard that it was a Costner flik I knew it would suck. With that 70s guy I knew absolutely it would suck.
-
I don't think it was the acting that hurt this movie. It was the crap script.
-
I just saw it on the plane. A good plane flight movie. The "guardian" bit at the end was extra over the top.
As Sandy said, the whole thing was the offspring produced when "Officer and a Gentleman" ****ed "Top Gun" in the ass.
hell they lifted the ending right out of Vertical Limit.
What about the blubbering "I've been a bad boy" pool scene :) The only thing missing was: "I've got nowhere else to go...blubber blubber" And, just substitute a school room for the textile factory when he goes to get the girl. Uugh. How can I get a job earning 6-7 figures as a script recomposter.

How did you end up having ANY expectations for that movie? You should be happy that your TV didn't explode, or a meteor didn't destroy your house.
When you **** your pants, do you wonder why you stink?

RPM is NOT going to be happy.
He actually sorta liked the movie.
Then again Coasties like anything that gives them attention.
-
Yeah, I sorta liked it. It was by no means "12 O'Clock High" or anything close to it. I was actually surprised by the performances Costner and Kutcher gave. Far above the suck-0-rama I was expecting.
I gotta agree with Sandy about the ending. I hear there's an alternate ending on the DVD. Somebody will have to tell me about it because I'm not buying the DVD.

In the alternate ending Kutcher hauls Costner up into the helicopter and the fly off into the sunset.
It's even crappier than the original ending.

I'd like to see a remake of the greatest Coastie movie evar. Onionhead.

:aok
that's what did it for me. Costner and Kutcher are the suc. When i first saw the trailer for this move I just groaned and said no way are they getting any money from me for this steaming pile of....
-
hey.. rpm voted for... no... sent money to... kinky.. and you are surprised he liked the movie?
costner did one good movie... Open range. I don't know if it was good in spite of him or if he contributed but the movie was good.

Yes, I did. And I'll do it again if there's somebody that shakes up the system like the Kinkster.
BTW, Costner made 2 good movies. Open Range and Fandango.
