    i liked this, somewhat suprisingly. the worst parts of the movie were when they were cleaning and gutting fish, and when the guy got the fish hook in his hand and then had to get it out! i do wish that they hadnt all died at the end. but that was the way the real story went

    The heartfelt movie just sets the scene right through with a wild ride that demonstrates how unpredictable mother nature can be to us

    Based upon true events, The Perfect Storm is a well developed film. Is it perfect? No it is not. Considering much of the film takes place aboard the sword fishing boat, Andrea Gail, and there were no survivors to relate what transpired, much of the film is conjecture. The character development works it's magic in the beginning of the film. You care for the crew of the Andrea Gail. The special effects used in creating the storm were very good. The film is intense and gripping. It's unfortunate the story itself didn't have a happy ending. The Perfect Storm is a good watch....

    This movie didn't make me cry but it made me really sad by the end of it. This was so WELL acted and you find yourself hoping almost as hard as the fishermen's loved ones for them to survive this storm. Mark Wahlberg did such a fantastic job, god he seems so young in this film haha. Well he was around 29? Great cast and believable story/characters. Based on true story I think. The effects were excellent. This film is deffinately memorable!

    This is a well written and well casted film that was predictable but entertaining. The primary reason that it was entertaining was the suspense. The sword boat had everything worked out for them except for the nasty storm. I really liked the ending. Altho it was meant to be emotional and I didnt cry, it was still very heartfelt because of Clooney's and Walberg's actions.

    saw this in the movie theater when it came out. Watched it on a Huge screen and actually got seasick from watching some scenes














    saw this movie when it first came out at the movie theaters. It was surround sound and on HUGE screens. I love it as its a true story and has a love story in it. What i didnt like is that I actually got sea sick from watching it.Its yet another movie Id watch over and over again

    Interesting movie marred for me by the fact nobody can really know what happened. Me and my failing of wanting trues stories to at least be most of the way there.

    The Perfect Storm was a well-done movie with a realistic ending. It had lots of good parts and I would definately watch it again.

    A great movie that might of been the first where I noticed the existence of Mark Whalberg outside of the Funky Bunch.

    As usual, the book is way better than the movie, but this does stand pretty well on it's own. both intriguing and frightening.

    It's really gripping and powerful from beginning to finish. You start to like every single character and suddenly it feels like it's not just a movie, that the characters are real and that what's happening is real. Extra credit for George Clooney that gives the true feeling of a man that lives for the sea, how dangerous it ever might be.

    Not as bad as they say; both Clooney and Wahlberg are very believable characters with feelings and aspirations. Good :)

    Hated it. I couldn't dredge up enough sympathy for the group of men who intentionally risk their lives for a batch of fish. All that CGI water gave me sea-sickness.

    Although I can see that the first 20 mins can be used to develop character and empathy, 40 mins is too long. The second half is very strong however, but then that's a male perspective.

    I can watch this movie over and over again. In fact, I DO! Mark Wahlberg is unbelievable in his role and the rest of the cast is perfection. The only complaint is the acting done by Diane Lane. Her 'gloucester accent' is a disgrace and makes the film lose it's credibility, in my opinion.

    I really do like Mark Wahlberg, but he just isn't the best actor and George Clooney just oculdn't do it for me

    have you ever watched a movie that you could just watch over and over again and not get bored, this movie was that movie for me. i really enjoyed watching it, the beginning was great, but the ending was just spectacular, it was sad, but that is the truth about what actually happens and that why it is so sad. i have heard true sea stories, but the affect of actually seeing it in a movie puts it perspective. it tells people that if you are going to see, dont expect everything to be so great, its not always a life of pleasure to be at sea. alot of people dont always see that, and if you watch this movie you will see that, so that is why i recommend that everyone who wants to know the truth about the sea should sit through this visually spectacular movie
