I remember liking this movie a lot when it first came out in the mid 90s.
Computers and computer tech in general was really coming into its own around that time.
I just finished watching Hackers about 10 minutes ago after not having seen it in at least 10 years, and man, this movie stinks!
It has not held up well over the years.
Listening to the characters talk about dated computer specs now is downright hilarious.
Ohhh...a 28.8 modem with 5k of RAM!
Back then, that was state of the art. Nowadays, it's a joke.
Even the way the characters dressed was laughable. Most of them wear skin tight clothes that no one I know would ever wear...or ever did wear in the mid 90's.
Most of them are very effiminate looking. I realize that they're hackers and are trying to be different, but they end up looking downright silly in this movie.
Anjelina Jolie looks like she's high as a kite throughout the entire film, and Johnny Lee Miller's accent comes through in some scenes.
I just felt that the casting was particularly bad overall.
This movie is bad, bad, bad! As in, not good!
What do you think?
