love how michael bay turns the basement of alcatraz into a weird derelict steampunk hollow-earth rollercoaster with videogame fire-traps and sewer levels
What a great freaking movie. So what happened? Was Michael Bay replaced by a Body Snatcher or something?
One of the Great American Movies.

The first strands of Bay DNA gloriously infect and begin mutating the quintessential American action film. Like a poisonous chemical rendered aerosol, it's about to destroy the city, and we never saw it coming.
Nothing says extra sticky butter popcorn munchin' at its most macho of action adrenaline junkie rushes quite like Michael Bay's The Rock. It has a cast to Die Hard for, insane action, loud booming sound and full on BayNess.
The cast is bananas. Nic Cage is full tilt loco. Sean Connery brings his 007 swag. Ed Harris doesn't go all Man in Black as the sympathetic baddie. Michael Biehn gets to play his character from Navy Seals. That's not all! This cast is loaded. Included are: Tony "Candyman" Todd, David Morse, Bokeem Woodbine, John Spencer, William Forsythe, Vanessa "Las Vegas" Marcil, Dr Perry Cox, some fella with a recognizable face that's one of the main baddies, the Black Guy from…
Bay's best movies live in that exact intersection of ugly, unhinged American id and stunningly, nonsensical virtuoso craft. You can definitely see those Bay-isms starting to form here in the visual construction but my overall opinion on this remains mostly the same. Fun central odd couple pairing performances from old man Connery playfully weaponizing his Bond history as the disgruntled retired spy/escape artist and Cage doing a test-run for Action Star of 1997 (Con Air and Face/Off both came out the following summer) as his dorky biochemical weapons expert, and the bench of character actors in every command center nerd and marine henchman role surrounding them is pretty deep as well. Lots of dynamically maximalist and kinetic imagery whether its…
“Your bescht? Loshers alwaysh whine about their bescht! Winnersh go home and fuck the prom queen.“
Will always be thankful🙏to this movie & Sean Connery for the years I’ve spent annoying people with that particular bad impression. You have to say it exactly as I wrote it.😝
Anyway, what a cool movie.🔥🔥🔥
90s Nic Cage action is too fun.
I’ve always thought the music in this sounds like the Titanic theme.🤔🎶
Action! - Three Auteurs: Bayhem
Often referred to by many as Bay’s best film, on this rewatch (my second overall), I could get behind that. It has all the style and great camerawork from Bay, with one of the most 90s Zimmer-rousing score and dumb, campy fun that, for better or for worse, has characterized Bay’s films. Plenty of awesome, cheesy quotable lines. Some will get a laugh out of you; others will make you cringe. Also, between this and Armageddon, there’s two movies where JFK assassination has been brought up—guess Bay or his writers are very much into that?
What else?
The action is great and fun. Connery and Cage are fantastic. Damn! Ed Harris is such a memorable…
"Look, I'm just a biochemist. Most of the time, I work in a little glass jar and lead a very uneventful life. I drive a Volvo, a beige one. But what I'm dealing with here is one of the most deadly substances the earth has ever known, so what say you cut me some FRIGGIN' SLACK?"
I've probably seen this at least 30 times. I'm sure I'll watch it 30 more.
what is he cooking
Bay made something above average
It's actually pretty solid
Nicolas Cage is gold
