Liked it a lot , because of the intro
It’s amazing to see how far this show has come. Great work as always.
OK PEOPLE! GO VOTE IN THE MICRO-POLLS! 2K VIEWS, AND 4 VOTES SUCK.
US Marshalls: The secret villain in the movie is a great reveal and performance from that actor. But the movie as a whole is just so boring most of the way through. (4/10)
Witness is not an action movie per se.In fact,it’s Ford’s first real attempt at trying something different than the roles he usually takes like Star Wars and Indy Jones.
you are an excellent movie reviewer
the law enforcement tactical vest does make you look like a real U.S. Marshal officer, Jon
Great intro, nice move to keep the outfit throughout the reviews.
You obviously enjoy putting this content together and I certainly think you put on a great show. Thanks!
Jon is that a real gun? (that’s what she said……..)
Any chance you seen Field in England? I really would like to know your thoughts on that film.
That intro was amazing. I also found your change in attire kinda refreshing. Swapping out the suit once in a while for something related to the movies being reviewed isn’t a bad idea once in a while. It’s amazing how a small change can work well when done right. You still look professional, but it’s new. That’s my thought on it.
I thought you already reviewed Air Force One, lol. Anyways, great episode Jon, as always.
I really want to know, does whoever sees this think Harrison Ford is their favorite actor, because he’s mine and no one ever agrees with me. He has one of the best lists of movies credited to him, with 3 giant franchises behind him. Its a damn shame he’s never won an Oscar
YAY YOU’RE GONNA DO AN INDIANA JONES EPISODE!
Sorry, I geeked out. I love those movies, with Raiders of the Lost Ark being my second favorite movie of all time (losing only Back to the Future), and is my favorite action/adventure movie.
are you gonna do your special review of best picture oscar nominees this year as well?
Also, like I mentioned, I might have to go with Indiana Jones as my favorite Harrison Ford character. I think you said before, it’s like the role he was meant to play.
Indiana Jones!
Great intro, Jon. Air Force One is so great!
I find your low score for Blade Runner disturbing 😉
US marshals: Underrated spin off, fun, action-packed and cleverly written, though falls short of ‘The Fugitive’, 7/10.
I may like “Air Force One” more than “Star Wars”.
Looking forward to your oscar special episode. 🙂
Do you need permission to use all those movie clips?
I just love the intros!! Good job!
Witness is available on Netflix if you guys want to see it, its very interesting and amazing.
The Air Force one plane looks pretty much like the actual AFO plane.
Why did you quit the Microwave Show? There are way better channels out there that do movie review/parodies and other bullshit.
You had one fucking job. Microwave shit and get views and you fucked that up
My favorite character of his is Indiana Jones.
Bahaha you should do a new series where you kind of parody the movies like you did here in the intro but just make them longer. that would be funny.
That action intro was really 100% awesome and cool!
girl show 18++ https://goo.gl/X8fKHY
Passenger 57: Pure 90s fun. While not the best written or acted, it is fun and thrilling in parts, 6/10.
Lovely review Jon, as always!
Can’t wait to see the rest of action month and I also can’t wait for the Oscar special episode coming little less than a month away.
Wow! Amazing channel!
XD
Poll Question: Harrison Ford will always be Han Solo.
Awesome Reviews Jon All great movies. So glad you added Hollywood Homicide to the list that is my most watched HF movie next to Air Force One!
PLEASE take a second to check out my short film titled HOMICIDIUM. The film is about a SCHIZOPHRENIC college student who has a MANIC episodes and violent visions of MURDERING his classmates.!
I’ve never heard of the fugitive. However to me it sounds like Taken 3 is follows the same plot line.
My favorite Harrison Ford character? Jack Ryan (if we’re leaving out Star Wars And Indy).
Jogs…. The only Presidential plane w/ an escape-pod that I recognize is in Escape From NewYork!!!! Woot Woot! Plissken Rules!!!
Great reviews as always Jon.
I love air force one! excellent film, gary oldman did such an excellent job as a Russian terrorist. later, he played the Russian soldier in call of duty world at war then a prisoner and friend of Mason in black ops.
“get off my plane!” that is the most badass line in movie history!
Hey Jon, I think it’s obvious to me and everyone that you really liked Interstellar. So, do you feel like it’s been snubbed at the Oscars by not being nominated for movie of the year? Or do you think that there was a lot of competition this year?
I think it should come as no surprise that my favorite Harrison Ford character is a tie between Hon Solo from Star Wars and Indiana Jones. Both those those characters were Ford as his prime before The Fugitive (which I have yet to see).
Murder at 1600 – A completely underrated film complete with both wit and suspense. The dead ends never unnecessarily slow the story. One of the few mystery/suspense that kept me guessing all the way through. 9/10
US Marshals – TLJ is back as the hard nosed agent, and Snipes makes a worthy foe. The breaks in action allow just long enough to catch your breath as it builds up to the next great action sequence. 9/10
