I was talkin' about the dead count, but I wouldn't be a very good soldier nor strategist I think I'd be far too ruthless

hehe! they should had sent in Ac-30 gunships and hevyarmored veicels as the plan was, but they though that it would draw to much attention!

I thought the movie was alright. About 3½ outta 5 stars. During my time in the US Army, my sergeant made us watch this movie, The Last Castle, and sadly Major Payne. I can't say it really shocked me since I was going in to be a medic anyway and didn't see anything unexpected.

It's sad how much the media misinforms people on what really happens. Following the war back in the early 90's, society here really missed alot because of some jerk's idea of what we should and shouldn't see. They always make it sound like we are supermen (no doubt Rangers and Marines are almost as close as it gets) and nearly invincible, which makes 9/11 so much more a wake up call.

I like it because of the reality it shows. It throughly demonstrates the strength and weakness soldiers feel no matter how well they are trained. It also pinpoints some of the asinine behavior that superior officers demonstrate on a daily basis.

For the life of me I can't figure out how they landed such idiots in the zone. I was almost begging for the two guys with the deaf soldier to get sniped because of their ignorance in planning the run cover. Hesitation isn't an option when the guy manning the 50 goes down. Get up there and take over NOW!

i thought it was boring as hell, so much action that it got boring.

i thought it was ok. coulda been better.

I love Black Hawk Down. The action was a bit much but that doesn't make the movie bad. It was an awesome movie.

well i wouldn't say the action was overly exaggerated .. it was probably great .. but the day i went to see it, i was really tired, and watching a serious movie just isn't right on a day like that

well...here I am again!! heheh....this is as i have said before simply the best movie in the world! 10 out a 10!

jayride, i completely agree with you. the media always tells some but doesn't tell some. it's so biased

its not the best movie in the world

one of them!

it was an action packed movie like I like them but I thought We were soldiers was a better movie BHD was cool though but out of the two i must say WWS

i never saw we were soldiers, im boycotting war movies, there way to many of them coming out, and they're all the same. they shoulda stopped making war movies after platoon, as that will never be topped.

Platoon was a great movie, but I have to say that Saving Private Ryan is at the top of the list.

and they're all the same

And this is kind of weird comming from one who likes horror movies

what does war movies have to do with anything

i mean, what do horror movies have to do with anything?
