It's a shame. The most compelling parts of the movie were the stateside scenes, but the bulk of the movie focused on shytty, B-movie level action scenes. The action scenes were so fukking grating and cliched—not interesting at all, and like you said the cinematography and direction really detracted from it. Could've been an incredible film but it was executed really poorly. I usually hate Cooper, but he was pretty solid n/h here acting-wise.

I still think Juba was actually multiple people. Either way, the way they handled it in the movie was horrible.

shyt was terrible. And I was referring to the Juba thing in a greater context cause they claim that there was a sniper they were hunting but they obviously flubbed it.

The state-side scenes were supposed to be the real issues and they straight skimmed it.

And for 2 hours, the movie could have done A LOT more. They packed too much action in there.

They didn't touch on any of the shyt that happened to him when he left the battlefield...thats what I really wanted to see.

Meh give it a solid 3.5 mics. Like others have said pacing was really weird, and to be honest I was bored by the 3rd tour. Just wanted to see him get the other Sniper. Who was a really interesting character. Wonder if his shyt is real :lupe:

Same. The movie honestly felt like a real life version of the movie the Germans made in Inglorious Basterds. There were flashes of greatness with the scenes towards the end when he came n/h home, but like you said they basically skimmed it. I'm still disappointed as fukk. We usually get one or two war movies a year and this could've been a really good one.

It's sitting at 75% on RT. This is one of those times where I look at critics and ask myself what the fukk did they watch because it couldn't have been the same shyt I saw. But to be honest, it's not difficult to see why they like it. It's mostly propaganda, they are on Clint's dikk to begin with and for as bad as it was, Cooper gave a good performance.

I've been telling people to skip this. :ld:

Thing is... a lot of people ain't even know the backstory...and thats what confuses me.

I've known about dude way before he got killed so to me a lot of this shyt is just SUPER poorly done.

You really see the intelligence of the average person when you see films like this :snoop:

I liked IB though to be honest. It was unique and witty...and i wasn't supposed to take it seriously.

This was just republican porn all over again.

And the movie just ends with "oh yeah he dies...AMERICA!"

Hell, i'm pretty damn jingoistic myself (online that is :mjpls:) but this was just face-palm worthy.

White people are gonna eat this shyt up though. Oh well.

This is DEFINITELY wasting space on nominee lists though.

Ehh, sometimes it's better not to know shyt about "True Stories". I don't know much and I don't plan on learning about his true story. I'd rather just take the film as a film :manny:

Because, undoubtedly the more you know the more you'll see flaws and Hollywood touch ups.

I won't spent a dime or second on that shyt bro. Pure blatant propaganda.

Zero Dark Thirty, American Sniper, Lone Survivor. Don't bother with it.

I always tell people, you want to see some real shyt that holds no punches, try Generation Kill from HBO. Might be the closest thing to real life.

Zero Dark Thirty was live :ufdup:

Generation Kill can't be matched cause its just such a long story :banderas:

Lone Survivor was WAY better than this.

Basically Clint Eastwood should stop sitting in his directors chair if he's just going to be talking to it :mjlol:

Yeah I don't understand how this got best picture yet that drumming movie didn't. I practically laughed through this shyt. That ending is he funniest bit. This movie almost comes off as a parody of middle American rednecks with a hard on for the military. I would be offended.

i'm saying.

this dude saw bombings in kenya and was like "look what they're doing to us! :dwillhuh:"

I think Selma will prolly get more traction for best picture considering the subject matter. Don't think it wins anything tbh. Cooper was good but no where near best actor worthy, but he'll prolly get the nod.

If this movie wins any awards it would probably be the WOAT oscar winner in recent memory.
