Incannerax What a waste of my time!!!

Titreenp SERIOUSLY. This is what the crap Hollywood still puts out?

Lucia Ayala It's simply great fun, a winsome film and an occasionally over-the-top luxury fantasy that never flags.

Ella-May O'Brien Each character in this movie — down to the smallest one — is an individual rather than a type, prone to spontaneous changes of mood and sometimes amusing outbursts of pettiness or ill humor.

Alex Estenzo I LOVED this movie when I was a kid and it's so funny how my perspective has changed as I have gotten older. I was all about Sean Astin as the hero and that Kevin Bacon was the bad guy and now that I am older...I see Kevin Bacon's perspective and I am seeing all that he was doing to help Sean Astin and how Sean was just a crybaby. Crazy what time and wisdom does when you get older. If this is your first time watching it in the era you probably won't like it at all. The music doesn't fit the movie, but it fits the 80's era of teenage movies. I do enjoy the story and most of the characters actually make sense through the entire movie. Is the movie good...no, but is it great nostalgia...YES!!!

Aaron1375 This movie had some entertaining moments in it and it gets points for doing something different with the whole summer camp routine. Granted, this is not really a camp movie per se. The movie has a guy for some reason trying to talk these two parents into letting their son join him in his special trek through the wilderness. There is hiking, white water rafting, they will be camping out in tents, and to top it all off at the end of it all they get to do a bit of mountain climbing. Sounds fun enough, except the boy would rather go to a computer camp or something to that effect. Why the guy wants this kid who obviously does not want to endure what this trip offers so badly is beyond me, and quite frankly thanks to his convincing I am willing to bet the leader of this gang had his worst summer ever. Well I guarantee it was his worst trip ever and I feel a bit for this guy played very well by Kevin Bacon. Also, Sean Astin plays the boy who does not really want to go on this trip all that much well too. In the end rather okay movie to some extent as we watch how Astin's character and Bacon's character have their differences and also you get to see the boy try to get along with other guys during this trip. You have some humor in the movie as well as Astin has scenes where he kind of goes over certain parts of the trip as the movie is sort of a flashback. The ending is a bit over the top, but this movie never gets as extreme as that one summer camp movie where the kids take over the camp.

Elswet Kevin Bacon is a "crystals and angels" spiritualist who leads a pack of teenage boys into the mountains, and then pulls some really weird stuff in an attempt to teach them to be men.Sean Astin is quite young here, and demonstrates his incredible acting talents, even then. In fact, all the performances are exemplary, and the story is interesting. The photography is absolutely beautiful, and even the score is wonderful. The rock songs don't seem to quite belong, but in the 1980's, that didn't seem to matter much to anyone.This used to serve as a motivational movie for me, but lately, I find I get more motivation from Monster Squad. For one, you do have to suspend your belief for prolonged periods, knowing all along that things would not have worked out as they did.All in all, it's a good Sunday afternoon movie, but not much more than that unless you're a film student.It rates a 5.8/10 from...the Fiend :.

galaxy2069 This movie had potential, but unfortunately director's apathy, a mediocre script, and rushjob editing doomed this weak afterschool drama about boys coming of age in a campers' nightmare. Was it suppose to be funny? Who do we root for...Kevin Bacon as a drifting, needy, sex-deprived Vic, or a bunch of awkward Cub Scout rejects who all took the wrong turn at Albuquerque.Kevin Bacon has produced finer results (Friday the 13th, Footloose, JFK), but every time I see "Hollowman" I'm always reminded of his twisted Vic character in White Water Summer. WWS did a stint on HBO a few years back, and that's where most people probably saw it. But it's usually eroding under a dripping air conditioner at your local flee market rent-a-flix. Did it ever show at a theatre?The film: Vic wants to make men of boys, and yearns to school them the hard way...by assuming he is a higher order, and thinking he knows everything there is about wildlife, camping and adventure. There will be no knives, no radio, no weed and no softcore magazines on this journey. What is Vic's primary objective on this trip? It's clearly obvious that his only ambition is to traumatize the young, feeble minds of four teenage boys...and you can thank the parents for forking over their hard-earned dollars for the abuse.What's so insane about WWS is that you can ALSO get the impression that Vic wants to make a positive impact on these kids' minds and souls. Sean Astin portrays Alan, a quiet, somewhat timid teenager who could've been picking his nose at any middle school in America. He's quite easy to relate to, and you can see clearly why he hates Vic. To Alan Vic is nothing more than your typical 30 year-old lowlife with no direction or purpose. Which is true.If you want to know more about this oddball flick then just read the other comments by other users who cared more about this movie than I did. Oh yea, one more thing - the soundtrack isn't as great as some of you WWS fanatics make it out to be. Just your typical mid/late 80's "American Anthem-like" softrock. Nothing special or unique in there.
