Watch Medicine Man For Free

A Major Disappointment

It's hard to see any effort in the film. There's no comedy to speak of, no real drama and, worst of all.

There are moments in this movie where the great movie it could've been peek out... They're fleeting, here, but they're worth savoring, and they happen often enough to make it worth your while.

This is one of the best movies I’ve seen in a very long time. You have to go and see this on the big screen.

Sean Connery, slightly overweight for this role, plays a scientist who needs the help of a young female assistant in order to regain his 'lost' formula which has proved to be the cure for cancer.Many people think Lorraine Bracco as the girl whiz-kid is terrible in the role, but that's simply not true. It's the script that stinks. Lorraine is beautiful and charismatic. Connery is good no matter what he does and he's fine here, though he appears to be heavier than a man in his position would be -- he's living in the rain forest, eating fruits, and exercising like a madman climbing around in the trees using his ropes and pulleys. Unfortunately, the movie is marred by a predictable plot and beyond-stupid dialogue.OK if you're a Connery fan. Otherwise, take a rain check.... get it? 'Rain forest'.... 'rain check'.... hee-hee.

A totally underestimated production! Should have received a bunch of Oscars! Check it's validity today. Al Gore should adopt it. One of the first hints of climate change, completely ignored. Some early, untimely wisdom - but what has human kind learned since? Unfortunately there is only insufficient progress. A very entertaining way to elaborate and present pertinent environmental issues. A bit too one sided, leaving out many socio economic issues. However, there is no need to be scientifically absolutely correct -the message comes across, without insulting indigenous cultures. Everybody should view this movie today and learn from it (trivia and dramatization don't spoil the story)... Can't get better than this! Jerry Goldsmith at his best (worth more than an Oscar for best music, but he will earn a lifetime award anyway)!

"Life is so strange, but here it seems so precious". That's Bracco's last line (or one of them), a very "deep" and "touching" line - but it's in VERY stark contrast to what she thought about the Rainforest during the shooting of this film. Apparently, everyone in the cast and crew, including Connery, hated filming there. You know, the usual LESS romantic aspects of the Amazon, like mosquitoes, the incessant noise, the heat, bad food, crappy accommodations, various creepy-crawlies etc.Hollywood truly is a bull***t factory, and this movie is no exception. Don't get me wrong, Bracco and Connery are charismatic enough to ensure this to be quite pleasant viewing, but watching Connery fight against lumber-company bulldozers in the middle of the night like some aged James Bondian scientist, was too much even for Tinseltown. It just screamed "cheese" to me."BIG LUMBER CORPORATION NEARLY DESTROYS ALL HOPE FOR A CURE FOR CANCER".That's the kind of headline that the writers of this preachy nonsense would like to imagine, but they don't live in the real world so they can only put it on screen for gullible, uninformed viewers to hopefully (from their left-wing perspective) believe.Flowers... ants... you just need to bend down to tie your shoe-laces in the Amazon Rainforest and you'll stumble upon a cure for cancer, AIDS, leukemia, schizophrenia, the bubonic plague, you name it. Of course, even the Amazon doesn't have a cure for a liberals' naivety. And there's no cure for the stupidity of believing that a bunch of flowers, ants, frogs and trees all hold magical cures for most of mankind's physical ills.Yes, it's wrong and dangerous to cut down the Rainforest indiscriminately. However, let's not get all dramatic and weepy and exaggerate the relevance of the flora and fauna there.I'd like to know why various directors insisted on Connery wearing those god-awful long-hair wigs in his later movies. "The Rock" also comes to mind. What's the point? He just look silly.As for Bracco, she's gorgeous. Had the movie been made today, it would have stunk, because Cameron Diaz would have played Dr."Bronx", and Tom Hanks would have been the scientist. I think I wanna vomit...

With the beauty of our native earth, the gifts of nature, and the struggle between modern man and local people, this movie gives the viewer a story line of compassion, humor, and human love on multiple levels. Additionally there is an issue of balancing life...and death...and medicine, which is not uncommon in our world today. See in HD if possible to enjoy the scenery of the Amazon Rain Forest. I liked the main characters, although some of their interaction seemed inconsistent at the beginning. Sean Connery, in his typical handsome and rugged style - charms and and then angers almost with a switch at first. Yet, that is not unlike many of the characters he has played in other films. Lorraine Bracco was annoying with a mixed personality...but not unlikeable and became more lovable as her narrow mindedness dropped away. Seemed like there were a few "holes" in the lines and scenes - perhaps editing took out links that would help the viewer understand quicker what was going on. But then the beauty of a simpler life is that it does evolve in a way that doesn't always need words.
