    I really really really want to see this. Really. How was Jake Gyllenhaal in the movie? That boy is gonna get an Oscar nomination this year. What about Peter Sarsgaard? Jamie Foxx? I hear that the movie is visually stunning and that you don't really get to see a lot of war despite Jarhead being a war movie.

    I need to see this movie. Like, right now.

    Well, you won't be disappointed. I was looking forward to seeing it, too, and while I wasn't completely blown away, it was still really good.

    All of the actors did good jobs, but I doubt they'll get any awards for their roles. Not that they aren't capable, but the script limits what they were able to do in that regard.

    Rarely do I want to see war movies, but I definetly want to see this one.

    It was great, not the best thing Sam Mendez has ever done but very effective filmmaking nonetheless. It was a bit anticlimactic, although it's hard to say that it was a drawback since that was kind of the point. Maybe I just felt like the epilogue scenes were a little bit rushed.

    I hate war films, and I'm broke, so I doubt I'll be seeing it.
    I like Kung-Fu.

    Is it an anti-war movie?

    It's certainly not a pro-war movie.

    Oh really? I had just assumed from the commercials that it was just another stupid patriotic pro war movie. Would it be worth seeing for the simple fact that I am anti war?

    Oh yeah, by the way Metroid doesn't have levels.

    Saw it. The movie is politically neutral for those who are wondering.

    There are a lot of beautiful images in the movie. I don't think it's a spoiler to say that Saddam 'Insane' torched the oil wells and this movie seemed to capture that in a very artistic manner.
    Smile even though its breaking

    Can't wait to see it. I love war movies, my favorite are Platoon and A midnight Clear.

    I don't exactly like war movies (pro or anti, doesn't matter) but I really wanted to see this when I saw the trailer for it. So I'm going to go see it tonight. It's got a great cast.
