I saw it last night. I thought it was a decent movie. I agree with others, the accent was a little to strong.

I thought Lone Survivor was terrible, wasn't even close to what really happened. If American Sniper is worse not gonna waste my $8.

didn't like that the took two unrealistic falls in that movie that would have broken necks/spines. They REALLY pumped those guys up.
But thats how it happened. They basically had to jump off a cliff twice

Lone Survivor pissed me off. Never leave a witness. They should have killed them.

The falls DID break spines. M Luttrell is still all fricked up to this day.

American Sniper was ok. I thought lone survivor was just outright bad.
my favorite part of american sniper was when he was about to frick up the dog at that party... dont know why but that made me laugh.

By fair share do you mean the last 40 minutes?

Wasn't their fault. They did the right thing according to the Rules of Engagement.
The problem is the POS liberals who punish soldiers that are protecting themselves against the most evil people walking the earth just because they didn't get a visual on the bomb or gun they're carrying. I'm glad Luttrell blasted those arse clowns in his book.
In a non-pussified America, they would have blasted those worthless fools and would have been praised for it. Unfortunately our politicians care as much about "rights" for terrorists as they do US civilians.

Pretty much.
In a political world, I would have just left their hands ziptied and told them they are free to go. They wouldn't have gotten down there nearly as fast that way.
In a real world, they'd been dead.

It has nothing to do with liberals

I thought it was a good movie. Bradley Cooper did a pretty amazing job. The wife was kind of a cardboard cut out. They didn't do much with her.
I liked it but anyone talking about it winning any Oscars should pulp the breaks. It did not get there.
I thought they handled the end pretty well leaving it where they did and then using actual footage of the procession. I was curious as to how they would handle it and I thought they did it about as well as you could.
Definitely go see it but don't go in with unreasonable expectations.

The sad part is.....they did follow the rules and they knew as they were following them that they were all dead men walking.

But you have to realize that FANTASTIC is the only acceptable adjective to describe a film (not movie, it's film) on this board. You also have to find a way to squeeze in the words simply and chops.

How are you people seeing this? Does everyone live in Dallas, NYC, or LA?
