"Rewatch on the 23rd Before you judge me for rewatching this, it's not that bad! Having said that, the only reason I watched this was because it randomly fell off my shelf on to my desk ;P (It was pretty creepy but I wasn't bothered by ghosts again that day). Like I said the film isn't really that bad but there are some seriously cringy cheesy moments, mainly thanks to the little kid. Plus Tommy Lee Jones is in it and he's awesome! I prefer him in his crazier or more badass roles but he was stil"

"12/01/2012 (Rewatch) I've seen this film a number of times and never tire of it. The actors are all fantastic and make the movie for me. Cheadle. Jones. Heche. The effects are passable and the premise is...well, a volcano erupting in Cali is a stretch but it's a movie (ie: suspend reality) so who cares! "

Dante's peak stared both Pierce Brosnan and Linda Hamilton with their volcano erupting in a small mountain town where Volcano's eruption happened in Downtown Los Angeles and had Tommy Lee Jones saving the day. In the end Dante's Peak came out the winner making more money than Volcano "

An average movie

“Beforehand, I thought it would be quite awfull but, honestly, I thought it was rather watchable eventually. Of course, the whole thing was completely preposterous and doesn't make much sense whatsoever but if you shut off your mind, it is actually rather entertaining. It does help when you have some terrific actors such as Tommy Lee Jones and Don Cheadle who try to keep a straight face during the whole thing and try really hard to make you believe that everything going on your screen is actually happening and could actually happen in real life. Still, it is nothing amazing though. I mean, it is actually a terrific idea to make a movie about a bursting volcano and with the financial and technical means they have, they could make a terrific movie, at the same time realistic and entertaining.” read more
