I saw Unbroken. It was pretty good. I liked it but not love it. I do recommend it though.

Unbroken is one of my favorite movies. Where else does the gun misfire at the climax of the movie when the two protagonists finally meet? Brilliant, IMHO.

Some people on this forum hated Unbroken.

I thought it had a significant flaw, but I don’t think it made it as terrible as some made it out to be.

The significant flaw was that it paid only lip service to what I thought was the most compelling and powerful part of the story: His return from the brink of self-destruction by finding God, and his journey to forgive his captors.

I thought they could have taken 15 min from his raft experience, and 15 min from his POW experience, and have used that to tell that part of the story.

But still, a pretty good portrayal of his experience up to that point.

Unbroken comes out on Bluray on March 24th so either I will see it in the theater or just wait for the dvd to come out and will buy it
