Saw it yesterday. Great movie. Somewhat like Black Hawk down, but the actors were obviously not Hollywood actors. Made it even better.
The movie is a combination of a principle in "Mein Kampf" plus the theatre of absurd.
Muslims would not make a Jew head of their terrorist gang or head of Muslim terrorism. That is not how Islam works. The stuntmen/producers of this movie did not have the guts to focus in on Islamic terror so they made a Jew the top baddie. This movie will help spread antisemitism sublinamally as the Jew is the one behind Islamic terror(?).
That woman whom I can't mention on this website had a score rating for this so-called "Act of Valor." She gave it
Any attempt by Obama and his liberal-progressive-socilaist support network to produce a pro-Obama movie based on the Bin Laden raid of last year should be canceled.
How could a movie produced by Hollywood compare to the real thing? Even Hollywood's best stunt men said they could do what the real SEALs do in training much less on real operations.
I haven't bought a DVD in years - none of Hollywood's best were worth a plugged wooden nickel. But, this one will become part of my personal collection.
Wonder what its box office return will be? Also wonder where it will appear in the 2013 Oscar list?
I took my Gf and my son to go see it yesterday.We saw it in a multplex cinema in a very conservative town with a high population of Vets.
A great movie.I expect the muslim loving liberal brown nosers will start attacking it from every angle, can’t have the sheeple of America starting to grow some patriotic balls now can they?

We are heading out right now to see the Movie... Hope to avoid the crowds. 4pm show.
I don’t go to movies but Rush mentioned it on his show and I decided to see the Matinee. All I can say is wow. What I enjoyed about the movie is the fact that real Seals were in the movie.
Though they weren’t the smooth talking actors, they came across as real because they were. They made Stallone look like a boy scout.
Go see it.
These Seals are representative of an entire military made of of volunteers; people who are ready to do violence so that we Americans can sleep securely in our beds at night.
How many of you are aware that your present administration has plans to reduce healthcare benefits and increase premiums for coverage of the dependents of these heros?
How many of you are aware that lifetime retirement benefits are awarded to a US senator after one term, and to a US congressman after two?
How many of you are aware that these same public servants have created laws that state, if you, as a business owner, are involved in interstate commerce and have a retirement program for your employees; you must vest them in that retirement program after five years of service?
How many of you are aware that members of our military who seperate, or are seperated by a reduction in force before reaching 20 years of service, are not vested in retirement benefits? They get nothing.
How many of you are aware that both parties are aware of and condone this practice?
See the movie, “Act of Valor” and consider if something doesn’t need to be done about this situation?
You know I have to register dissent on this film.
I saw the trailers; the scenes and action are superbly well done. It is worth the money I am sure.
But I don’t think this is a good idea. Oh I do believe we need more patriotic films, especially a John Wayne actor who we feel we know and trust. No it’s not the patriotic theme of the movie that I frown on, it’s not the fact that the movie makes us feel good to be Americans; nothing like these reasons are why I think it’s a bad idea.
What makes this film a bad idea is that it reveals real special force personnel and real methods. It’s too revealing.
Because the actors are real Navy Seals and the action is based on actual events that happened, this movie can be studied by an enemy to look for weaknesses. I don’t like the film because it allows an enemy to learn.
When Hollywood makes a film about our brave men and women in uniform, at least in the days of John Wayne, one could leave it up in the air if the action was based in reality or fantasy; Hollywood’s magic making could leave an enemy wondering if the action was real or not.
I sincerely hope the large box office returns of ‘Act of Valor’ will encourage them to do more patriotic films, find real actor hero characters like John Wayne so that we can escape into a quasi-fantasy or think it is maybe reality and be made to feel proud to be an American. But I hope they use real actors next time and keep a blurred line between what methods and weapons are magic and which could be real.
