Grade: B
You need to know that this is essentially a reboot of the franchise because the movie begins with Jack still in college and then quickly goes through his stint in the war, injury, and rehabilitation. To do that they had to get someone young and Chris Pine is pretty much the perfect age, 34, to play a character in their early 30s.

Personally, I never really warmed to Harrison Ford as Jack Ryan. Ford’s age dictated that they jump into his career mid stream and so we could never see the early years of Ryan’s accidence. And in my opinion “The Hunt for Red October” is by far the best of the Jack Ryan movies and they should have made more movies with Alec Baldwin as Ryan.
What people are saying
about the RunPee app.
This is a great app. I wish more people would support it
This app provides info about movies, reviews, ratings from people who have seen it before and after viewing. It has links to info about the movies. It let's you know when there will be a lull in the action and how long it will last. If you want to know what happens during that time, you can check the brief synopsis (you have to click a link, so no accidental spoilers). It has a timer you can set (silent) to alert you to a break. It also tells you whether there is anything extra during or after the credits. It's really a wonderful app. I've subscribed for a couple of years to support the developers, but I noticed some of the links to provide feedback didn't seem to work today. They also made it free, with voluntary donations to see the pee-times. If you haven't tried it, I encourage you to do so, and subscribe if you like it. I really hope the app is supported so it can continue to be maintained!
Developers note: RunPee doesn't make much money but it supports itself nicely. Donations are appreciated, but not required. We'll add as many movies to the database as we can until there are no more movie theaters.

The villain of the story was very cardboard. There are only a few short scenes that clue the audience into why he’s so motivated to destroy the USA. There wasn’t enough substance to the villain to see the contrast between he and Ryan.
The last 30 minutes of the movie is fast paced and action packed. In fact I noticed that my heart rate was quite elevated for the final 10 minutes of the movie.
Creator and developer of the RunPee app. When something doesn’t work right in the app it’s pretty much his fault. 🙂
Aspiring author. Would like to finish his “Zombie Revelations” trilogy if he could break away for working on RunPee and the cottage he’s building for RunPee Mom.
