I loved the movie American Sniper. However, I have seen conservatives write about movies without seeing it too. We do that all the time. lol. I don’t think this is anything new.

That’s why liberals are called “low-information voters”. They don’t need facts. They have already decided that Obamacare is good (even if they have to pass the law to find out what’s in the law), that the American Sniper movie is bad (the director once made fun of the lazy communist in our White House), that cow farts are making sea level rise, and that we need more government to solve the problems created by big government.

We saw it yesterday and it was one of the best I have ever seen. Clint Eastwood is going to make libs heads spin like that in the Exorcist.

Can’t wait to see it myself but it’ll have to be on Direct TV or I buy the DVD. I refuse to go to the theater to see movies... to many idiots, to many cell phones, constant texting, ringtones going off and just plain rude folks.

islam = satan’s death cult
allah = satan

Leftwing communists (and islamos) will always defend satan and attack God and His absolute morals and values.

Dennis Jett is an unpatriotic psychopomp, just like his Dear Leader.He obviously is so high up the ladder of academe that he does not to need to see a movie to comment on it; he does not want to subject his liberal fascist idealism to the truth in fear that it will be shaken.

This is the quintessential definition of a Saul Alinsky touting unpatriotic coward of the first order. Jett’s culture fits right in with the rest of the current US State Department leftist whacko mavins, who would sooner trade Libyan arsenal weapons with Al Qaeda in Syria at Benghazi, than support heroes like Chris Kyle.They let four die in Benghazi.

No Mr. Jett....just take a long walk off a short pier.

Eff Jett and the horse he rode in on.He is ugly because the People refuse to be manipulated by the likes of him. The box office is a horrible slap in the face to Jett and his ilk, and good on that!

I thought it was a great Pro American film which seems to be really rare nowadays

Well the theater in which I watched was silent the entire movie. Really. Nobody got up and left - ever.

At the end, the whole place was silent. The only sound heard was of occasional sniffling. I’ve never seen a movie like that and I’ve never seen any audience’s reaction anything like that either.

This is not a regular movie. People aren’t talking about their favorite parts or anything as they leave. People are just silently filing out - mostly with eyes down.

I didn’t know what to expect other than to expect a solid acting performance - which it was.

It wasn’t “fun”. But I am thankful I had the opportunity to see what so many Americans and so many family members have lived.

It was surely pro God, Country, and family. It has been forever since something like that was out!

One difference is if the movie critic or writer is getting paid a salary - by all ethical standards, he should see the movie. It’s different on threads like this.

My son and I went to see it Saturday afternoon. We both got tears in our eyes at the end of the movie. I might go see it again next weekend afternoon and will probably buy the DVD when it comes out

My 3 letter review.....WOW. Wifey and I saw it yesterday. We were totally sucked in, even though we knew the ending. Great tribute to soldier Kyle and his family.

Great film. But why was Kyle always wearing a helmet liner while everyone else was wearing pots?

I don’t want to mention parts of the movie for those who haven’t seen it but there are 3 glaring inaccuracies in it. I felt that was a bit unnecessary since the book was compelling enough and there were parts they could have included that would maintain the integrity and not sacrifice drama.

Since when does knowing nothing about a subject prevent a liberal from claiming to be an expert on it?

Got an example?
