I took my mom to lunch and this movie today. We enjoyed it. I would say if you like these types of movies you should see it.

I plan to see it. For me it'll be entertainment, not necessarily accurate history.

Saw it yesterday and enjoyed it. I have not read the book nor studied the actual events.

I saw it tonight, and I enjoyed it. It won't win any rewards, but it's a feel good movie. The battle scenes were utterly ridiculous, it if you can look past that, and watch the movie for what it is, then you might like it.

But since it's a Bruckheimer film, there are at least helicopters hovering in slow motion, right?
"I've spoken of the shining city all my political life, but I don't know if I ever quite communicated what I saw when I said it. But in my mind it was a tall proud city built on rocks stronger than oceans, wind-swept, God-blessed, and teeming with people of all kinds living in harmony and peace, a city with free ports that hummed with commerce and creativity, and if there had to be city walls, the walls had doors and the doors were open to anyone with the will and the heart to get here." -- Ronald Reagan, Farewell Address, Jan. 11, 1989

I've read the book, and it definitely made the rounds while my Company was at Fort Irwin for NTC.
I have also studied the battle. I will probably watch it when it hits red box.
I was torn if I was going to see it or not. I haven't been to a movie theater in years and was debating whether to see this movie or Hostiles.

This movie seems to of fallen a bit short. I still may go today, don’t go to many anyway.
I guess I’ve liked the ‘feel good’ movies over the years, ‘Green Barets’, ‘Rambo’ ‘Zero Dark 30’, & so on. A little cheese with my movie is O.K., I allow ‘artistic license’.
See if I can get an agreement with the family on this.
O.K. Watched it at home, copy a bit marginal, good enough though. Glad to of seen it at home.This message has been edited. Last edited by: sourdough44,

saw it , meh. The best thing was the covertness and the BUF bombings immediately after 9/11 that I/we never knew about as well of a statue erected in their honor at the WTC.
Finally watched it On Demand tonight. Thoroughly disappointed. I had read the book it was based on years ago and had high hopes for this movie. It falls very short.

I also just finally watched it
Some of it was good...particularly showing the closeness of the teams, and what they are faced with
A lot of it..
A lot a lot
Was Hollywood. Lots and lots of Hollywood
I don’t know that you can adequately tell that story in 2 hours
Still, because of it a few more people know a little bit more about the sacrifice made by the men that go forth into these situations
I am glad I waited until I could get it as a rental

Moved the book up in my reading list when I read here that 12 storn and the horse soldiers where related. It's a good read, not extraordinary writing but the feats of arms and circumstances were.
The movie cast looks really fashionable and lightweight

I warned you, but did you listen to me? Oh, No, it's just a harmless little Hollywood movie.
