What did you think of the movie Hackers?

This is one of my favourite movies - want to hear everyone's comments.

You mean you wasted money seeing that? Tell me your friend had an extra ticket or something.....anything........

P.S. sorry but, you asked..........

hackers.... i diddent see any hackes in that movie....jsut glorified script kiddy types

Angelina Joly in her best movie....

The movie rocks if you don't look at all the discrepancies...
The music is very good...
I love it...

i liked the fact that they used at least some real hacking technuqes but didn't like that they made us look like a buch of glorified ravers

Discount the imaging of what the "hacker" sees on the screen and it was very true to what a cracker does (reference to the documentation needed, social engineering, dumpster diving ...etc).

I am something of a geek and collect movies that I think make a good attempt at portraying the industry. Antitrust, Wargames, Hackers, might pickup the cable movie about Gates and Jobs.

Cheers,

You see, Korpdeath, I did ask - so feel free to voice your opinion.
And just so you know my vote is in for "every day" ;)

1: you do not hack through phone booths with fancy laptops.

2: you do not hack through phone booths with fancy laptops with 5 of your friends doing the same thing in the same phone booth row.

3: you do not have graphical filesystems like you see in Hackers or Jurassic Park (..."I know unix"...yeah right).

Overall, it's an "ok" movie worth watching just to see 1 second of AJ's naked cleavage bouncing around, but for technical expertise, you've got to be joking. I hate the way they make technology look like. It is NOT as glorified or good-looking as they portray it.

Hackers the movie is the direct cause of so many teenagers taking up hacking.

The movie was the shyt. I thought it was badass cause i had never seen a movie about computer hackers. hell all i had seen was telnet and tellix. I thought it was wierd that these guys had graphics. But You have to relise this is not a technical movie. A movie about rebellion, and fighting the system.:) I gave it a 8
