    This Mind Boggling, Action packed thriller holds you on the edge of your seat until the lava carries your seat away.

    Terrible. Absolutely terrible. Take it from me, you will feel nothing for these characters and about half way through you will actually want them to die, because then it will be over.

    It's no masterpiece. But It's exciting.

    It isn't all that bad, just sort of slow in like the first hour. That is what I hate about most movies, they don't showe the good parts until the middle or end. What is up with that?

    A poor excuse for a movie. Not to mention the melodramatic and unrealistic moments. 'OOOO our car is in lava and our tyres are not melting because this is a Hollywood blockbuster'. No,no,no. Piers Brosnan should of stuck with Bond.

    The problems seem to just roll out one after the other as if they were lined up in a plotted queue, and each becomes less interesting and more exhausting than the last, all the way up to the violin-strings-and-french-horn-bravado ending. And I thought that volcanoes were exciting...

    It takes about an hour for the volcano to erupt, within that hour it's just people talking and earthquakes, i didn't even finish the movie yet but i don't want to.

    While the plot is thin and there's little action till the big blow some 60 minutes into the film, a volcano offers a greater variety of thrills than your basic cyclone ever could.

    Dante's Peak, written by Leslie Bohem and directed by Roger Donaldson, follows the disaster formula so faithfully that if you walk in while the movie is in progress, you can estimate how long the story has to run. That it is skillful is a tribute to the filmmakers.

    "Twister" is a rush. Dante's Peak, on the other hand, is a bore. Oh, it has its moments, but most of them are concentrated in the final forty-five minutes. The first hour, which is all typical disaster movie setup, is interminable.
