Does Con Air still hold up pretty good today?

I was watching it on tv yesterday and I remember how big of a action movie it was as a kid back in 1997. How do you think the movie holds up today? Nicolas Cage was on top of the world at that time.

It was ridiculous and over the top then. It still is.
If you liked it then, you'll like it now. I've loved Con Air since day 1.

It’s one of tGOAT action movies. Nick Cage at the top of his game. It’s a masterpiece.

One of the most fun theater watching experiences of my teens. Packed house, everyone loved every second of it. There's a whole realm of legitimately great movies than all that typical Oscar bait drama.

It’s so bad it might be the greatest film of all time. It shouldn’t work, but it does.

How that villain pilot inexplicably not shot down con air is the only thing I remember.

Also that Leanne Rimes song.

ETA: The producers of the film thought so, too.

It doesn't matter what part of the movie it is on, when Con Air or Starship Troopers is on, I am tuning in.

Absolutely. The Rock is a legit great action movie. Con Air is dumb fun.

I couldn’t disagree more. Hell, Face/Off is better than The Rock.

All movies with practical effects hold up.

It's better today than it was 20 years ago.
