From my favorite movies..

It's fun, it's light, [but] it has a hard time when its tries to get heavy.

The movie turns out to be a little better than the average. Starting from a romantic formula often seen in the cinema, it ends in the most predictable (and somewhat bland) way.

Strong acting helps the film overcome an uncertain premise and create characters that hold our attention absolutely.

Fighting fire with fire is the first thing that comes to mind when I think about Only the Brave. This movie had many elements, no pun intended, besides humongous brush fires. These infernos are deadly and to prevent them from entering populated areas is not a small feat. The leadership role Josh Brolin played was superb as he gave his squad great guidance and strategy. But no matter how much you plan something, things can go array when trying to deal with catastrophic winds, fire, and water. The same with earthquakes and so on, as we have seen many times in history. Much respect given to these guys who were an awesome team of hotshots, as they were called. Their heroism is clearly deserved, they fought the good fight in this must see film.

This was my most anticipated film of 2017, and also the biggest disappointment. The film has your typical American stereotyped characters with typical American stereotyped back stories. I also found the character introductions typical American and dragged out. Couldn't they have skipped the petty crap and jumped right into the action? Uhmmm, then again, the film is almost entirely made up of petty crap and silly character confrontations. They are so annoyingly American. The film is also overlong for no reason. I found myself wanting to hit the forward button more often than not to try and move the film along. By the time the real action started, I've lost interest. The action also comes and goes in the blink of an eye. Also - and here's a spoiler alert - the firefighters move toward the flames, but when they get too close, they lie flat on the ground under their 'fireproof' blankets. The result is them burning to death. Uhm, duhhh!!! What did they expect? Lie there and wait for the flames to subside? How did they think they would survive by just lying there??? This was a big yawner.

It s a great movie. Josh brolin and other actors are great also . Loved scenes , fire actions it helped me how to difficult job for firefighters . But i found very long sometime it makes me very bored i given eight point but if you ask me watch again i cant . It s a movie kind of one time watch

A different kind of movie. I would recommend this movie to one who looks for a change in what they usually see. I'm amazed by the perfection of the forest fire scenes. Since I have never seen or experience a forest fire before, I never knew how threatening it could be. But not any more....
