Michael Bay has become synonymous with big-budgeted flicks with little to no soul to them nowadays. The Rock is as arthouse a film as one can get. This film is still to this day his most celebrated film, and his most critically acclaimed, and that's ironic seeing he is less known for his ... read more

"1.2. DVD The Rockin suurin, ehkä ainoakin, varsinainen ongelma mulle on liika kesto. Isoa toimintaelokuvaa, kun tehdään, on rakennekin herkästi vähän sillisalaattimaista, mutta ei tuo kyllä häiritse. Parhaimpina hetkinään helposti parhaita näkemiäni toimintaelokuvia, mutta jatkuvaan jytinään ja ryminään valitettavasti uupuu ja kiinnostus laskee. Samaten, kun koko ajan paahdetaan täysillä, on hiljaiset jännitteettömät kohdat vain tylsiä. Taiten tehtyä överitoimintaa, mutt"

"1.11. The Rockin katselukerta arviolta numero 30-40 oli pakko toteuttaa katseltuani hetken aikaa kuvaa Connerystä näyttämässä peukkua. Ysäritoiminnan kuninkaallinen vyöryttää ruudulle aikakautensa all star -castin Sean Conneryn, Nicolas Cagen, William Forsythen, Tony Toddin, Michael Biehnin, Ed Harrisin ja John Spencerin johdolla. Komentokeskuksessa huolestuu joukko muiden ysäritoimintojen komentokeskuksista tuttuja - luultavasti koko näyttelijänuransa kenraalia esittäneitä - kasv"
