Not bad, just incredibly exhausting to watch so much seemingly random shooting for so long.

“So these guys are shooting again.. at what?”

A lot of war movies suffer from the “WTF-is-going-on” syndrome when the camera gets lost in the action.

I loved this movie…w/out the sound on. I was watching it when my mom called and hadn’t thought much of it so far. I muted it, but let it play. It’s an extraordinarily beautiful movie. I noticed the same thing w/ Romeo + Juliet. Mute the volume and leave the Close-Captioning on made an excellent movie out of an unwatchable one.

This is my favorite modern warfare film, along with The Hurt Locker (Go see it!) and maybe Generation Kill. Black Hawk Down is gritty as fuck, well written, has fantastic visual fx and you care about each character involved. A hard as nails movie that leaves the audience stunned, as a war film should.

I don’t understand the “too much shooting going on” thing, there aren’t long pauses in warfare I imagine, especially when the mission failed and you are surrounded by mass quantities of enemies.

The firefights were very random but they were also extremely brief. The novel explained a lot that seemed a bit “Hollywood/Over the top.”

Generation Kill is fucking the tits.

The Hurt Locker looks very well done as well.

Saving Ryan’s Privates was quite a bit better than this… but this is still an amazing war film. I can’t believe whoever said it’s unwatchable, what are you, four years old?
