Story is compelling and has been out there for a while. Probably first heard about these guys years ago on FReerepublic. Hard to spend money knowing it will go to assclowns in hollyweird. Might have to do it on Senior day at the local cinema though. (Will we need kleenex or a hanky?) Maybe the one about the guys on the train to Paris too. Played by the actual guys.

All signs are it’s a poorly executed movie. I’m never obligated to see a movie, especially if it’s no good.

One war movie doesn’t fix the problem.

Part of the point of being a conservative is not marching to someone’s drum. That’s who liberals are. Don’t tell me what I have to do to be a conservative.

And I noticed they changed the facts for dramatic purposes. So what am I supposed to go do see a fantasy movie about the way Hollywood thinks it should have been?

I liked the movie. Its Hollywood but the base of the story was kept with respect to the bravery of the men and the mission. Everything else is up for criticism, even why were the men riding Australian Outback saddles? I'm anticipating the 5:17 To Paris as the previews look like they are telling the event with the men's rearing and background helping explain why these men are who they are which is important to any story.

I never complain about movies. I go to one if it interests me - “Lego: Ninjago” was cute - and not if it doesn’t. The calls to “support” this film or that confuse me. Shouldn’t an entertainment product speak for itself, without someone’s calling for people pay for tickets even if they don’t want to see it?

Forget it Jake, it’s still Hollyweird/the National Felons League/Targheyt.
Let them try midlife career changes.

Michael Shannon is one of the few actors I won’t watch. His comments about conservatives were disgusting.

Major stars (like Amy Schumer


Anyone who thinks Amy Schumer is a major star
is majorly stupid, or thinks I am. There have
also been more good military movies than pro-
conservative ones, by a long shot. Pedal your
nonsense elsewhere.

I saw it in liked it but I do think that Black Hawk Down and The Lone Survivor were probably better.

These are the men Rummy stood at the podium and almost cried as he said how damned proud he was of them

Why should I believe that Hollyweird would produce anything positive about anything

I don't know anything about critical analyses that some FReepers give as reasons they won't go see this movie. That's fine. That's their opinion. But I think it's like being critical of a book that they haven't read.

But my opinion is different. I go to movies for entertainment, not for critical acclaim or political argument. An escape from the isolation of living in the country on a cattle farm. It is a welcome respite from the hard work on the farm.

I don't read reviews or go based on how "perfect" a movie is. If it is entertaining, it has done its job for me.

But for those who don't like Hollywood or certain actors or or an imperfect storyline or "just because", I think you are missing an excellent movie telling a story that most Americans don't even know about.

It is about American troops motivated by the attacks on 9/11, patriotic to their country and willing to give their lives to protect our freedoms. Against all odds of surviving and returning home, these 12 men miraculously all survived and accomplished their mission in a mere three weeks when their commanders thought it would take two years. Al-Qauda has publicly stated that the key battle in the film was their worst defeat ever.

This movie is very patriotic and sends a positive message to the young men and women of America that joining the military is a noble cause. Even though it is a shoot-em-up war movie, it is uplifting and reflects America in a good light. Something to be proud of.

I saw the movie Friday afternoon at a matinee after I finished a medical appointment at the VA in the big city. I thought it was excellent. The mostly older folks in the audience gave the movie a round of applause when it ended. It brought tears to my eyes at certain times. It was an excellent movie. I recommend it highly.

Jumanji kicked it’s butt landing in first place again. Oh well Conservatives never learn. Is it any wonder that Hollywood doesn’t make conservative movies, they won’t go as proved on this thread actually. Complaining is easier just like Republicans in Congress who can’t lead anything at all but can punch their chest like they are something while in the minority.

Screw Hollywood!

I went to see the movie the first day it was out and it is

GREAT, everyone should see it, it shows the Tals kill three little girls mother in front of them because she taught them to read.

I like Agents of SHIELD. Don’t think it is liberal. If anything, the resistance is to Hydra, an entity embedded inside a governing body manipulating and scheming. I consider it Deep State.

When Hydra breaks out and destroys SHIELD, Coulson slowly works to destroy it. This is what Trump is doing now.

LOL! I know the actors are all swell little Leftists who would pitch a crying meltdown with the association, but it’s my take.
