Great movie Ronnie. If you remember, I was the first to hear about this project on FR (I think) and I've been waiting excitedly for months. It was worth the wait.

Dog gone it! I wish I could see it but I'm giving up TV(except for Sundays)for Lent! Please tell me about Gibson and if me mentioned how the President,Rumsfeld and Dr.Rice enjoyed the film. Thanks.

My wife took the day off of work so she and I could go see this at the first showing.
Mel is our favorite actor and Braveheart is one of our favorite movies, but I'd have to say that this movie comes pretty close to it.
I think Randall Wallace did a terrific job directing the movie as well as writing the screenplay.
Mel did a great job with his acting. After the initial scene with him, I forgot it was Mel up on the screen and was totally into the character, I started to think it was actually Lt. Col. Hal Moore, a true sign of good acting IMHO.
The score was fabulous and the mix of music and picture was perfect!
I missed part of the credits, was it James Horner?
The only regret, I wish the movie was longer, yes longer. I would have enjoyed even more character developement than they had.
The whole movie my eyes were moist but I have to say, the ending left me weeping.
One of my dreams is to visit the Vietnam Veterans Memorial, just to pay my respects and I think seeing this movie has finally convinced my wife to agree with me to make plans when and if we can!
I saw Joe Galloway and Hal Moore on FNC earlier and saw Mel on O'Reilly. They all seemed proud of this movie.
