Nifty performances make this routine action flick better than it probably has a right to be.
Teague, meanwhile, is far too busy orchestrating the large-scale action sequences to make anything of the cardboard characters, episodic plotting, or clunking dialogue.
Top CriticThey take their explosives and their silly roles much too seriously.
Like a real Navy SEAL, it does what it's supposed to do and gets out of there quickly, and doesn't remain in your memory for long.
Pass the ammunition.
I was bored silly by the Crayola mechanics. Navy Seals hasn't aged well, and now I rather hate my younger self for ever buying into the mentally challenged antics of the film.
[It] amounts to a less-than-involving two-hour commercial for the Navy.
Not entirely bereft of entertainment value, even if most of it comes in the "unintentional" variety.
So-so pro military recruitment movie with some thrills/
Action-Packed good fun with a killer soundtrack
Nothing great, or even good, but better than you might expect.
Mediocre action movie with every cliche.
The film where we began to suspect that Charlie Sheen might not be as cool as we thought.
Ohmigod. Bad. Ohmigod. Bad. Ohmigod. Bad.
Audience Reviews for Navy Seals
Super Reviewer
The plot is pretty much one set piece after another with little plot inbetween which normally would be poor but this film is practically a late entry in the 80's so its easily forgiven plus its gloriously silly in places leaning clearly towards action man over realism, this film has a high popcorn count...no thinking required.
Plenty of flashy stunts with many witty one liners and a suitably kick ass finale as the guys run around in Beirut, its not over the top with blood and swearing and proves you don't need that to be cool (Expendables take note), think of this as the 'Top Gun' of a special forces based film.
