Red Storm Rising would be awesome if they stayed true to the story.

Bear & the dragon would also be awesome, seeing us kick Chinas arse would be glorious. This is prolyl my favorite Clancy book.

I love the books with the inside conversations of the politburo


RSR is incredible

I think they should do a new Clancy movie trilogy

Debt of Honor
Executive Orders
The Bear and the Dragon

won't be made though bc China takes it on the chin. Can't have these movies flopping in a major market

Very good to excellent

1990 The Hunt for Red October - Alec Baldwin
1992 Patriot Games - Harrison Ford
1994 Clear and Present Danger - Harrison For


Bad
quote:

2002 The Sum of All Fears - Ben Affleck


The changes that were made just didn't need to be made. Really killed the franchise for me movie wise

quote:

2014 Jack Ryan: Shadow Recruit - Chris Pine
2021 Without Remorse - Before Jack Ryan


Have not seen and really lack the desire to do so.

I kind of put Baldwin and Ford on equally footing on there portrayals of Jack Ryan. For me they were the perfect casting of the version of Jack Ryan they played. Even though Baldwin's falls in the middle of the books timeline wise.

Affleck didnt do it for me.

Book wise I have always been partial to Clear and Present Danger, and Cardinal Of The Kremlin

Yeah, they need to make movies out of the books where Ryan becomes president. Launching missiles into terrorists' houses on worldwide television, taking out Chinese centers of computer hacking, making the Japs back off--again!

As USMCTIGER1970 said, not a chance in hell, unfortunately.

Great cheesy line.


I don’t have an appointment. Big balls

If you don’t think Ford was the best Ryan you are a communist.

I think Hunt for Red October is the best film by quite a bit and that it might've been even better with Ford who was a bigger star...against Sean Connery. Baldwin sometimes blends into the background in that movie.

People say, yeah but it was the right call...wasn't Ryan supposed to be some young analyst? He wasn't that young and Ford has quite a few movies of playing that "you don't know what you're talking about" indignant outsider characters.

There's The Hunt For Red October

a lot of distance

Patriot Games, Clear & Present Danger

a little bit of distance

Sum of All Fears

everything else far behind

Saw the beginning of the one with Affleck om TNT, or some other channel with commercials. It looks terrible. Didn't watch for more than 30 minutes.

i didnt think it was a bad movie overall....i just thought it was nothing like without remorse and it was dumb as hell to call it that.
