although a long movie I actually enjoyed it. I never thought the guy was just in the remote mountains for that long of a period of time.

I enjoyed it. I thought it was very well done.
However, I liked Argo a lot better. I was never on the edge of my seat at any time during Zero Dark Thirty.

I saw it and thought it was really well done. I'm sure some people thought it took a while to build. I found that pretty interesting, and the last hour or so, with it all coming together, was about perfect.

I saw it this weekend. I cannot stop thinking about it. I really love Bigelow's style. I'm not a refined movie know it all type, so I can't really define her style, I just like it.
Anyway, I thought the movie had great pace. The one thing that I had trouble with, and this is just circumstancial, is the names of the terrorists and courriers. It was really difficult for me to keep up with the string of names. That's just because they are named Al Farid Allah Machmoud Farouq Al-Kuwaiti and not Dan Smith.
I'm a huge fan of Kyle Chandler and Chris Pratt, glad to see them in the film. And Chastain is a hottie...

I guess I am the only one not overly impressed. It wasnt a bad movie, I just never intend to watch it again. 1 st and last 30 mins were good, but the rest, meh...now Django Unchained, I can watch that over and over again.

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.

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.

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.
