I saw it this weekend and absolutely hated it. I felt like it was very lazily written and terribly acted. Not once did I feel intrigue, suspense, or really any emotion. I couldn't find one single reason to care about any of the characters, especially Chastain. In fact, she annoyed the living hell out of me the entire time.
And no, I didn't expect it to be a "blow stuff up" movie. I loved The Hurt Locker, but left ZD30 feeling like I had just wasted my time.

The total opposite for me. I enjoyed Argo but it was no where near as good as Zero Dark Thirty. Best movie so far this year.
Me too.

i liked ZDT....and as much as i like Chastan, i thought he performance was rather weak. kind of put a damper on the movie, but overall it was well done. the raid scene was greatness

It fricking sucked. Sooooooo boring!

Saw it this morning. I liked that it was not politicized and that there seemed to be a specific intent to avoid using the names of either Bush or Obama.
I also liked that it was not heavy handed on the heroics. Every actor seemed tasked with portraying a character that was simply doing their job. It was a very plausible performance by all. Kudos to the director for that.
I did want to see some scenes where the Seal Team trained for the raid and discussed plans. I recall reading how a scaled replica of the compound was built in North Carolina for this raid. If true, this would seem to be a meaningful event to depict. I wanted to see more scenes of having the compound under surveillance.
I did not hate this movie, but I don't see any way this movie gets a Best Picture Oscar. Chastain did not really have a chance to show any acting chops, so I don't see her winning either. For film editing, I'll go with Argo over this one.
For me, it was a well done movie. But I enjoyed Argo and Django so much more. I liked Lincoln about the same, but Lincoln was more impressive.

I think there's a plan to do this, or something similar.

Yes I've seen it. Thought it was great but the torture scenes made it.

The movie is poorly titled. If you're looking for a movie about SEALs, this isn't it. Watch the trailer a few times and move on with life.
I liked the fact Bigalow tried to included the attack on Chapman(Al Bilawi), that could be a movie itself.
You have to really pay attention in the movie to understand the nuances, or have some serious background info on the GWOT prior to seeing the movie.

I liked both movies a lot. The helicopter ride was super suspenseful though, I was on the edge of my seat and just going "holy frick, they did that" when it was showing.

Loved this movie. Thought the pace was appropriate and I was on the edge of my seat for the final assault even though I knew most of the details about how it played out. I also this think movie was significantly better than the Hurt Locker. Maybe it helped that it was sort of a documentary and so the screenplay had less creativity needed because I thought the writing in Hurt Locker sucked even though the acting and directing were top notch. ZDT was awesome though, want to see it again.
