Don't mind the petty criticisms. Ever since this movie came out there have been some people microanalyzing every detail to find some way to tear the movie apart. Sure, like every movie, it has its flaws and inaccuracies, but overall is was a damn good film that succeeded in accomplishing what it set out to do. The silent theaters after each showing are a testament to that.

My critique had nothing to do with the film, just that the muscle gain claim is absurd.

Agreed I could hear a pin drop bc that's how quiet it was. Never been to Iraq, just Afghanistan although my reserve unit did ask me if I wanted to volunteer to mobilize to west Africa

My guess is it was set out to be a tribute movie to this guy. Maybe some other stuff too?
I thought the movie was well done, it shows the effects of guys going overseas to fight for a long time. But as far as being entertained and enjoying the movie simply as a movie, it wasn't great in that part.
To put it simply, I never felt like Kyle was in true danger, other than the last part of the movie. They resolved conflict to fast and it never felt like that conflict could lead to destruction. (aka divorce, serious injury, death)

I went to a mid-day showing last Friday. The theater was full. I've never experienced anything like that before in a theater. Completely silent... except for the numerous muted sobs in the audience.
I felt it was a powerful film. Perfect movie? No.
But it was one of the most powerful films I have ever been to see in a theater (or at home).
The silence by the full audience was just as powerful.

I enjoyed the movie, but I keep seeing this statement and it is funny to me. It's a theater....its going to be silent. Not to mention the ending leaves no reason for applause.
