Sum of All fears would have been good if it wasn't Ben Afleck as Jack Ryan and they focused more on Clark's story.
Clancy's books are so detailed, and this detail cannot be easily put into a 2 1/2 hour movie.
I remember reading Bear and the Dragon (My favourite Clancy novel by far I believe), all 1100 pages of it... and just being blow away with not just how much detail each character's story portrayed, but also how many characters they were and how they all tied into the plot. I get a real sense of "Real" when reading those books, even if they are made up. Which is good, because that is what he is going for obviously.

Have you read "Red storm Rising"? It is about 10,000x the novel that Bear and the Dragon is. Personally i thought that was Clancy's worst work.
