Black Hawk Down

Let me just say that this movie is a pure masterpiece. It had great film editing with excellent music that went into the movie wonderfully. I loved this movie, the action, and great acting especially by Eric Bana who is a complete badass in this movie. Great movie!!!! What do u guys think about it

there are much better war films out there with better action and drama. this movie only did so well, because of the time in which it was released.
it got rather boring at some parts.

no it didnt, it was all action. how could u say its boring. its so far from boring. it was excellent

Personally, I loved BHD. It didn't do well 'just because the time it was released,' it definetly was a very well made film with intense action, deep plot, and enough overall to satisfy many. Gory, but that comes with a war movie.

amen to that

well, i wouldn't really consider this to have a "deep plot".
and, i said the action was boring, because it really didn't have the same effect of being harrowing or jarring, as say, a movie like Saving Private Ryan or Platoon. it was just loud noises and people running and yelling. after an hour of this, it just got bland and borring.
it wasn't even that gory, i don't even consider this to be a violent movie, i consider it to be just another action movie.
Action and violence are two different things.

critics even bad-mouthed it because it was just all action, and not even a bit of character development.
i mean, of course, it is dramatic to see someone saying their last prayers on an operating table or something akin to that, but how many times have we seen that before.

plus, in the confusion of battle, facts get lost. I don't care who started the battle, but, come on, how many Americans died, and how many Somalians died. Clearly the Somalians initiated the battle, but they are still people....blah blah blah, don't want to go there.

i was just thinking the other day how the Fallujah attacks in Iraq almost mirrored BHD

well saving private ryan is my favorite war movie but black hawk down is one of my favorites and it sure is not boring and is also one of the most realistic movies of all time

it was an okay movie. i actually liked it. the part where the chopper totally f*cked up the skinnies on top of the roof... that was kick @ss!

I agree with everything you've said..first class war movie (with NO boring bits)

this moive rocks!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! 🤘

*sigh*

Great movie! i love how the camera moves on this film. It captures some good scenes. Bloody and full of suspence! i like that kind of war films.

this is without doubt the best war movie ever!! and trust me Ive seen a lot of them!

ya i no

I LOVED Black Hawk Down!!!!! My boyfriend is obsessed with it.

i like it a simple for the realisticness of it. They had rangers on the set to help and they followed the real details the best possible, including the correct # of soldiers dying. I think its one of the best war movies by far.. because they did just that made it only a war movie not a comedy not a love story.. they just told the story of that area and it was intense and very well done

I like "BHD", but with what you said, you are potentially putting it in front of..

Saving Private Ryan
We Were Soldiers
Pearl Harbor
Platoon
Das Boot
The Longest Day
Patton
Apocalypse Now
Dirty Dozen
The Deer Hunter
Full Metal Jacket
Sands of Iwo Jima
Tora!Tora!Tora!
Hamburger Hill
Casualties of War

You sure about that, now? Honestly. "Black Hawk Down" isn't even technically a war movie. It's about 1 isolated incedent of one single platoon, and their helicopter going down in Somalia?

Its also a good movie about tactics. I thought it was very well done...
and it does the story justice.

r u stupid cinemadiction, it's a war movie. you need 2 get ur head straight, the whole movie was war...omg!!!
