i'd been happier if it followed the book more, there was no need to change itGoing to see it Tuesday.
My 17 yr old son and his friends are going to see it Monday, they are out of school that day. I think I’ll go see it too and I rarely go to the movies . . . I bet last 10 movies I went to were DISNEY.
Meanwhile, obama screens “Selma” at the White House and it doesn’t help.
“That could put the war movie on track for the biggest January opening ever. “
I thought this movie opened in December.

Saw it this afternoon and it was fabulous. Very, very well done.
Great movie. It was a packed house, and when the movie ended people left in absolute silence.
Dawning fireproof suit now.....
I saw and liked this as well. I posted yesterday how impressed I was by Clint’s direction and realism.
One thing I did not write earlier is this; the most significant theme or background music to this movie is best described as rapid blasts of gunfire. The timing and the volume of these gunblasts was enough to make a viewer jump out of their seat at times. The gunfire was multidirectional, meaning it wasn’t always emitted from the same speakers on the same sides of the theater.
I don’t go to the movies much anymore, but I’m definitely going to go see this one. Eastwood’s proven to be a top flight director over the years.

I saw it tonight in a sold out suburban DC mall theater. I always have to close my eyes during firefights. Such a hero and patriot. The audience applauded where appropriate and filed out in silence, too.
“Once you feel you know everything, you’re done.
You’re either repetitive, boring, or both.”
Clint Eastwood
Man, from directing musical numbers in Jersey Boys (also great) to this movie, Eastwood is a marvel. The guy just gets better with age.
Every American needs to see this film. I don’t think I spoke for three hours after seeing it and I knew what to expect from the book. Everyone needs to see what our soldiers go through.Very intense and riveting from beginning to end.
It’ll be on Netflix soon enough. I can wait.
My 87 year old mother is dying to see this movie... So am I.
Saw it tonight. Packed in Montgomery County Maryland. (!) Really enjoyed it, although I teared up at the end. As I walked out I said to my wife “Give Cooper the Oscar and Kyle the Medal of Honor.” But then everyone around me was quiet, so I shut up after that.
Saw it today,
GREAT FLICK!
Took the family to see it tonight in Long Beach, CA. Theater was packed and everyone was silent at it’s conclusion. Very somber. I think the film was very respectful and well directed. I’m not a big Bradley Cooper fan, but I thought he did a fantastic job portraying deep waters.
Just got back and Clint Eastwood painted his Masterpiece. Best war movie ever made.
Pray America is waking
