I don't know why both this movie and Ben Affleck have to be that bad? First of all, this movie is about the Germans trying to ridicule both Russians and Americans by stealing the bombs from both country and framing them like the bomb was launched by the middle east by placing the bomb in a Baltimore NFL stadium where the president is meeting at.Secondly, Ben Affleck did okay as novice type of Jack Ryan in a weak way. Although, he did a good job analyzing it along the way. But you should know that is a prequel Jack Ryan film before The Hunt Of Red October film with Jack Ryan, as a fully-entered CIA analyst and newly married type, played by young Alec Baldwin.If they had filmed this movie before The Hunt Of Red October, than this entire first-run jack Ryan film sequel will be overrated, TBH, IMO.

CIA analyst Jack Ryan must thwart the plans of a terrorist faction that threatens to induce a catastrophic conflict between the United States and Russia's newly elected president by detonating a nuclear weapon at a football game in Baltimore. If there's a reason why people hated this film is probably cause of Ben Affleck umm the dude is Batman for god shakes the reason why i loved this film is because it has a lot of great spy stuff some people called it boring others even a propaganda but in the end it's still a great film that even tho is slow as hell it's pretty good when it comes to spy people or killing them in cool ways. Sum of all Fears won't be remembered in the next 20 minutes because there isn't something classic in it but in the end it's still a pretty cool film.

Really disappointing. Acting was really stiff and unconvincing (although I never expect much from Ben Affleck who is always wooden and stilted like he just swallowed a bottle of Valium--I was counting on the rest of the movie to carry Affleck). I've never been a Tom Clancy fan, and, as expected, the plot was not very believable, but unbelievable plots can still work well if the right elements of the rest of the movie come together properly. Unfortunately, that was not the case here. For instance, there was absolutely no chemistry between the "love interests"--Affleck and whoever she was. Argon and Neon would make a better matched couple. This movie just dragged on and on (and on) and could not sustainably build suspense. In this case, it would have helped a lot if had just Michael Bay'ed it and blew up more stuff--that might have given me a halfway decent shot at remaining conscious during this snoozefest. Again, really, really disappointing.

The Sum Of All Fears is an action/political thriller that features Jack Ryan,the famous CIA spy developed by Tom Clancy.This is the fourth film about the character that was based on Clancy's novel with the same title after the likes of The Hunt For Red October,Patriot Games and Clear And Present Danger were made into films. In it,it features a younger Jack Ryan portrayed by Ben Affleck.The cast also includes Morgan Freeman and Bridget Moynahan. Phil Alden Robinson directed it.The President of Russia passed away and he is succeeded by an unknown whom little information is known.This causes panic to many nations especially the United States.To pacify the fears felt by many,the Central Intelligence Agency (CIA) director Bill Cabot recruits Jack Ryan,a young analyst working from the Russia desk to gather information and provide insight.But many events happen such as the capital of Chechnya is leveled by a nuclear bomb.Then fear intensifies especially when terrorist threats are being made to the U.S.It is now up to Jack Ryan to prevent these threats or another world war could happen anytime soon.This new Jack Ryan film is somewhat unrealistic and lacks plausibility particularly with the events that could happen particularly in the international front and the political motivations behind the countries involved in conflict.The bomb being set at a Superbowl was somewhat cheesy although it did manage to provide suspense to the story.Added to that,we get to see the new character more of a heartthrob rather than an intelligence expert.While many female fans may not disapprove of that especially with Affleck playing the lead role,it is distracting and it somewhat takes away many substances that Tom Clancy's novels want to provide his intended audience.It made a lot of money more than ten years ago.Although it was far from a typical Clancy novel and what intelligence spies are all about,it will definitely provide entertainment and great musical soundtrack.While this may displease many critics and the serious moviegoer,an average fan may not find displeasure in it for it was definitely a fun movie for them especially if they like Mission Impossible and James Bond films.
