‘American Sniper’ Being Put Down Before It Even Hits Theaters

Chris Kyle’s story is one I believe absolutely should be told, and although I have my concerns regarding how accurately the movie will relay the events of his service as a SEAL, I wouldn’t miss it. Unfortunately it’s looking as though the naysayers are working overtime on this one, though, because the movie has yet to come out and the mud slinging has already begun.

RIP Chris. Probably some anti-2nd mention by the detractors. Maybe Chris's dad should have a talk with those folks like he did with Clint Eastwood before starting the project.

Maybe the critics are North Koreans and Hollywood and the media will hype this film to spite them.

Oh wait, liberals never see the double standard hypocrisy.

This is of much more interest to me than some sophomoric comedy like “The Interview”.....

Screw the critics and the anti gun nuts - the public will LOVE this movie IMO.

Saw it already. On par with the rest of the Rogan/Franco movies. Pretty funny most of the time. Sophomoric... of course. That is their genre. That and lots of homo talk.

Anyway, the movie is out on the internet and playing 24/7 on ‘selected websites’.

I wonder how long I will have to wait to be able to see American Sniper ?

Virtually all of the reviews I have read...have been extremely positive - claiming this to be one of Eastwood’s best films.

Wasn’t he killed by a white PTSD Muslim CONVERT..?

I heard this, but it’s amazing it’s not news.

Screened American Sniper! It was so, so! Not much depth to Chris Kyle in the film. Just me two cents of course.

Routh was pretty well established to be crazy.
Never heard the Muslim connection.
Pls post some links if you have them.

Here's an article from April 2003, not long after he was murdered. Good read, fair-minded, IMO.

The Legend of Chris Kyle

The deadliest sniper in U.S. history performed near miracles on the battlefield. Then he had to come home.

The commie libs in the government and its “media” appear to have drawn a bead on the SEALs lately. Great! Spitting hippies Part 2. The hippies are flashing back to the 60s.

My wife pointed out the Hollywood celebrities slander the soldiers that give them the right to put out their trash propaganda.

It’s out enough to be Oscar eligible. And it’s scoring 70% at Rotten. Hardly being put down.

If the lefties hate this movie, it is definitely on my “Got To See” list.

A movie about one man killing a couple hundred of islamists, it has to be good, the last time I went to a movie theater was the Terminator over twenty five years I think, but I just might go to see American Sniper.
