Brendon Jones It’s fine. It's literally the definition of a fine movie. You’ve seen it before, you know every beat and outcome before the characters even do. Only question is how much escapism you’re looking for.
Micah Lloyd Excellent characters with emotional depth. My wife, daughter and granddaughter all enjoyed it...and me, too! Very good movie! You won't be disappointed.
Yash Wade Close shines in drama with strong language, adult themes.
Mehdi Hoffman There's a more than satisfactory amount of boom-boom in the movie's trim running time.
Kirpianuscus a series like an endless holiday. hot bodies, drawing of acting, few slices of crime, brave men, attractive women, family dramas and drops of humor. lifeguards life "ad usum delphini". so, a form of entertainment. or delight. it is not easy to define Baywatch. because, season by season, it becomes more complex and the presence of David Hasselhoff as central axis of stories becomes credible. so, a nice series, first for the music, then for the running in the waves, and not the last, for the useful manner to save appearances for a beautiful longevity. Baywatch is the right mixture of soft adventure and eroticism who could define the entertainment of the "80's. and, decade by decade, this remains a virtue.
chow913 Who can forget 'Baywatch?' 45 minutes of bad writing, bad acting, and glorious glorious silicone! The series was about much more than just silicone T and A, it was about... Well OK, that is what the show was all about.I recently saw 'Baywatch Hawaii' AKA 'Baywatch' seasons 10 & 11. I was pleasantly surprised to see it's a dramatic improvement over the original series.While IMDb insists on linking the two shows as mere the same series, they're WRONG! Why are they two distinct series? Well, they weren't written produced or directed by the same crew, took place thousands of miles apart, they only shared 2 of the same characters (if that), and most importantly their swim uniforms were two different colors! In fact the series began anew, just like many other famous shows like, 'Valerie,' 'Charles In Charge,' 'Lucy,' '8 Simple Rules For Dating My Daughter,' 'LA Law,' 'The Partridge Family,' 'Super Boy,' and many more after losing 90% of their cast and even the death of their title character the series valiantly continued on as if nothing had changed.While the series CLAIMED to star David Hasselhoff as Mitch Buchanan in reality it he only made cameos. Much like 'The X-Files' claimed to star Gillian Anderson even after she left the series.Mitch's departure was the best thing to ever happen to Baywatch! The real story of the show centered around an elite lifeguard training center in Hawaii. It's exact location was never made clear as each week the character were assigned to new beaches on new island. The constantly changing scenery really enhanced both the look and story lines.The main character was Jesse (Brooke Burns) by far the most glorious of all the Baywatch models and actually an interesting character. The rest of the cast was mostly silicone free. A surprising change from the original series.The production quality, story lines, and most importantly the acting was far better than the original series, which meant it was still just barely acceptable.Unfortunately things really went down hill in Hawaii the 2nd season (or what IMDb calls 11th season) Jesse leaves! And Playmate Brandy Roderick takes over alone with some more silicone gals. So sad to see the dream of 'Baywatch Hawaii' die.
Desertman84 Baywatch is an action/drama TV series about the beauteous Los Angeles County Lifeguards,who patrol the beaches of Los Angeles County, California.It stars David Hasselhoff.The show ran in its original title and format from 1989 to 1999, sans the 1990–1991 season, during which it was not in production. From 1999 to 2001, with a setting change and large cast overhaul, it was known as Baywatch Hawaii.A trademark of the show was slow motion shots of the lifeguards running, most notably done by Erika Eleniak, Pamela Anderson, Yasmine Bleeth, Alexandra Paul, and David Charvet along with Hasselhoff during the height of the show. Each show would feature one or two montages, often only superficially related to the plot.The show revolved around the work of a team of lifeguards and their interpersonal relationships, with plots usually centering on dangers related to beach and other activities pertinent to beach lifestyle. Everything from earthquakes and shark attacks to serial killers and even nuclear bombs served as plot conflicts on the show. Saving people from drowning tended to be one of the most typical situations used in the shows. One of the most important element that this show has is that many bathing beauties galore from the hot cast and extras.I think that the it became popular more because of this rather than the script,plot,characters and action/adventure that it has to offer to the TV viewer.And most of all,it was made for the TV viewer to titillate rather than to watch a good TV show.
navycutx During its time, Baywatch was the most watched, most talked about, most hyped and most commercially successful venture on modern television. It is therefore quite strange to see its low rating on IMDb and its extensive criticism from wannabe critics.Lets be honest here. It was'nt always about babes and unrealistic heroics. A good chunk of the series was dedicated to proper story lines, good acting and good action. It was very well written and very well executed.Perhaps people have gotten used to an idea that grotesque reality is what TV should reflect? Thats pretty stupid. Baywatch represents a very happy and positive atmosphere and place, bordering on fantasy. It should be commended for at least trying to show a happy world.
