Movie will give you all sorts of feels.

Not trying to get political in here but the movie really brought to light how much these soldiers have gone through and it was probably for nothing in the long run.

I must have been living under a rock because the ending was a surprise to me.

Just sad with all these feels.

I watched it last night. I thought it was great besides a couple of things. One was how they made the Marines look like dumb asses that didn't even know what a breach signal was and the second thing, which isn't major, was the fake arse baby.

I hated how the bad guys were using cell phones for everything. If it was like that irl, why didn't we just blow the towers up?

Because of everyone else in the country that used cell phones and were not terrorists?

Just watched it myself. Sometimes I felt I was watching the movie of the sniper in Inglorious Basterds

Just watched it too. I thought it was great, very intense, had me one the edge of my seat the whole time. I love war movies like this, makes you appreciate what these guys sacrifice for this country even more.

Oh and yea that was the fakest baby I've ever seen.

Great movie.

Lone survivor has more action scenes but this is a deep look at the sacrifices these guys and their families make. Really intense movie and I think Cooper did an amazing job.

I just saw it tonight and said almost the exact same thing word for word to my buddy I went with.

They made the Marines in the Tour 1 scene looked like tactical idiots. I know the 300 series guys are quite a bit more capable than that. And that dumbarse spacing they had them when going block to block - child please.

Other than that, it was an amazing movie. A couple of parts nearly hit me in the feels. I thought they did a pretty solid job tactically/mechanically other than on Tour 1. And that ending...

Once it ended nobody in the theater made a noise. Probably the quietest exit to a movie I've ever experienced.

Just finished the movie as well.

Excellent job portraying CK as he was in the book. I can't imagine having to return to civilian life after going through what our soldiers do.

I hope it wins the Oscar for best film.

This

Hey Clint they got real babies out there. For the casting person

I liked the movie defintly worth the watch. Would have been great if the personal relationships between the main characters would have been more played out.Overall liked the movie.
