Acensbart Excellent but underrated film

CrawlerChunky In truth, there is barely enough story here to make a film.

Fatma Suarez The movie's neither hopeful in contrived ways, nor hopeless in different contrived ways. Somehow it manages to be wonderful

Bob This is one of the best movies I’ve seen in a very long time. You have to go and see this on the big screen.

kenvend Most of JAGs episodes were top-notch both in story line and in acting. There was great creativity in producing each show. Even the second to the last episode was well-done and in alignment with the other episodes. But the finale was a great disappointment. I thought it was a mediocre ending to a fantastic series. It was like they just decided to trash all that they had done and accomplished for the sake of seeing who could get out the stage door the quickest and with the least effort. And it was like the producer and CBS just decided that the viewing audience wasn't important anymore. All of the loyal fans they had acquired through the years were just thrown to the wind. Nevertheless, I loved the series from start to second from the finish!

Benedict Carey I guess this sort of thing is bound to be heavy on the jingoism and right-wing cobblers .... you expect that, but it really goes beyond the pale.Mostly it's just there for people who obviously get oddly excited by uniforms and people saluting, which is all good fun, I suppose. Sadly it's all done on a budget so the acting is wooden, the scripts shallow and unconvincing and most of the stuff gluing it together nicked from stock footage without even a crude attempt at CGI to make the continuity work (others have mentioned details like plane types and ship numbers, but even the basics ... a plane has a sodding great hole blasted in it and the next minute a mint example lands at Miramar, before, frames later, the bruised pilot is hauled out of the wreckage).All very laughable, but does it matter? well yes it does, the political agenda strays into the story lines, and google about, people are taking this nonsense seriously.A few episodes deal with sexual harassment, but in such a one dimensional unquestioning way, all trying to refight the tailhook controversy, but so transparently and obnoxiously they actually show whoever is behind this appalling stuff learned entirely the wrong lesson.Just watched a ridiculous journey into Northern Irish terrorism. Belfast seems to be some sort of downtown New York with 50s London taxis and buses (hey, you can get a bus from the RUC HQ direct to Carnaby street!). RUC officers seem to have dodgy Cork accents, while the IRA spoke with voices I'd normally expect to hear from an apprenticeboy. Everyone had a nice tie and tweedy suit. Of course the English have to be baby-eating facists, and the visiting Americans can cut through decades of complex intrigue and hatred to solve the case in mere minutes, hampered only by this British obsession with not allowing them to carry guns.I'd love to see the producers have the guts to try the same sort of insulting nonsense set in downtown Jerusalum.The characters in this thing are so one-dimensional, the scripts predictable, and the whole thing so cheaply chucked together. I watch and love it, like a Jerry Springer show in which the participants haven't yet cottoned on ...

billswanson27 JAG is one the finest television series ever produced. It was a largely underrated series until the wave of patriotism that followed the tragedy of 9/11. In the period of time that followed, many TV viewers got their first exposure to the quality acting, writing and direction that made JAG a 10 year staple in many peoples lives. The top-notch acting of David James Elliott, Catherine Bell, Patrick Laboryteaux and John M. Jackson, the crisp scriptwriting and excellent direction kept JAG both interesting and relevant. Many of us gradually became so called "JAGniks", a title that still defines our love of the series today. JAG's faithful fans were rewarded with quality, which is sorely lacking in much of the TV fare seen now. If you have never seen JAG, give it a try, in reruns or on DVD. You won't be sorry.

mickbina This series can be watched over and over again, and each time new details are seen. The actual shots of real naval operations are blended into the fictional story very well. Characters were built over a period of time to be believable. One week point - would a bumbling, naive over aged teenager like Bud Roberts ever have made Lt Commander in the USN? One certainly hopes not! Sympathy for his injury and battle to regain his mobility, plus appreciation for his personal life tragedies are one thing, but I feel his career skills , general usefulness to JAG and continued immaturity would deny such a promotion in the real world. The appearance of President Bill Clinton in several episodes was a real coup for the producers of the show - I enjoyed the scene where a chopper came to pick up Rabb when he was jogging in the vicinity of the Pres and his secret service guards. All in all, a really enjoyable series and I am glad that History Television in Canada is running it on an never ending cycle through all ten years of episodes.
