Who do you think was the better Jack Ryan? While I love Harrison Ford and enjoy most of his films, Alec Baldwin seemed a better fit for the character (at least how he was modeled in the books). I wish he had continued in the future films even though I think Ford did a wonderful job in both of his appearances as the character. Hunt for Red October is one of the better films of the latter portion of the 20th century in my opinion. Of course, Sean Connery helps make this film so superior to other offerings of the time but Baldwin really captures the essence of Jack.
(I won't comment about the Ben Affleck Jack Ryan in Sum of All Fears).

I can't stand Alec Baldwin as a person. He seems like a total jackass. But I have to admit I have liked him many times as an actor.
It's probably the only time I will pick him over Harrison Ford, though. I think he was better as Jack Ryan.

Alec Baldwin. Ford sells it in the action department for his two JR films but he seemed ill cast as an analyst.

What about the Chris Pine version of Jack Ryan?

What about the Chris Pine version of Jack Ryan? I thought he was good, and much better than Ben Affleck but I grew up with Baldwin/Ford and had read the books around the same time that those films came out so that's what I was basing my comparison off of. |

What about the Chris Pine version of Jack Ryan? The first half where he's in the helicopter accident and then recuperating was interesting. But it was hard to believe him going from analyst to action hero from the halfway mark to the climax. But movie's gotta movie I guess. I actually really dug Affleck as Jack Ryan. |

Oh yeah, thanks for reminding me of the helicopter scene in Shadow Recruit where dude's got a spinal and still pulls two men out of the chopper. Give me a f break with this BS.
