First a Nobel Peace Prize and now an Oscar. The genius that is O'Bama never ceases to amaze

I'm really exited about this, looks ****ing good.

Very few things in life fascinate me like special operators, they're the closest thing to Batman, superheros any of us will ever see.

This movie is going to literally KILL, i'll definitely pay to see it on the big screen then buy it when it comes to dvd.

Everything i'm reading says its really going to immerse you in their world, exceptional realism, i cant wait.

I'll watch.

It's directed by Kathryn Bigelow, whose previous film was The Hurt Locker. I'm definitely seeing this, and it has nothing to do with politics.

If it's anything like The Hurt Locker its in the running for the most boring, overrated movie of all time. That movie sucked ass.

It looks interesting. But saying its like The Hurt Locker is going to make me think twice about seeing it.

Yessir, more flag waving bullshit that didn't really happen.

I agree that hurt locker had some scenes that were pure hollywood, like these EOD troops being crack snipers for one... but outside of that, i thought it captured the "feel" of what it must've been like.

Having met and talked to plenty of vets and done my share of reading, its a pretty good flic, putting the viewer in the middle of a war with no front lines and in the heads of the men there.

No...and no. I do not concur.

It was filmed in Jordan so it definitely looks like Iraq, and that's about it. Bull$h1t movie, and hate for you to think that reflected the realism or 'feel' as you call it, of OIF.

Gonna see the Hobbit. All the rest looks like crap and a waste of money

Yeah, if it doesn't have Hobbits in it, it's probably going to have to wait until it's available on Netflix at the patteeu house.
