Those who hate the movie reveal more about themselves than the movie.

People have different tastes in movies. I do not care for the modern style of directing where camera shots chasnge every one-half second. I find it jarring. This has nothing to do with my feelings about snipers, but about my feelings about movies.

There are probably some conscientious Quakers out there who have been in the country for 300 years who wouldn't care for the movie on content grounds. I would not question their citizenship.

Message to Hollywood: Give people stories they want to see and they will turn out—Compare the box office for Afirmative Action Annie, Selma and American Sniper? Its like comparing Captain America and Captain Planet. In these times US movie goers want a patriotic Film.

I would.

Just because you hold a belief, no matter how sincere you are in that belief, does not make it a good thing, it does not make it an honorable belief, or even one that the Bible supports in context.

If you're critiquing the movie in the genre of film, that's not an issue at all. Me, I think it had too many cuss-words, dishonored God too many times, and gratuitous sex scenes. But you know, that's how Chris Kyle was, that's how Texas rodeo people are, and that's how (most) Navy SEALs are.

If you look at this as a film made to entertain, you're missing the point of the movie. It was not made to entertain. It was made to be a light to those who suffer darkness. And the realism is part of the cure. It had to be made that way, and thank you to Clint Eastwood for doing his job, continuing Chris Kyle's legacy in a way.

If you see the point of the movie and still hate it, I don't need to hear more, and I thank you for your opinion. But it sounds like you get the point, just don't care for the style, and that's a valid point, although it's like saying I agree with Kyle's job but couldn't he have shut his eyes when he fired so he didn't see the kill...probably not.
