Funny part of this is actual EOD soldiers laugh at the inaccuracy displayed in this movie.

That’s what he gets for showing our troops in a bad light.

“Some Iraq, Afghanistan war veterans criticize movie ‘Hurt Locker’ as inaccurate”

“..If this movie was based on a war that never existed, I would have nothing to comment about. This movie is not based on a true story, but on a true war, a war in which I have seen my friends killed, a war in which I witnessed my ranger buddy get both his legs blown off. So for Hollywood to glorify this crap is a huge slap in the face to every soldier who’s been on the front line...”

To attend a series of tax preparation lessons at H&R Block.

Expecting accuracy outta Hollyweird is like looking for chastity at an...er, house of ill repute.

FWIW, I wouldn't waste my time :)

What was wrong with this movie? (I haven't seen it yet, and am just asking)

I remember some FReepers here said it was a great movie... others say it's not accurate. Which is it?
