You must not be paying attention. They told you to turn of your cell phone. :)

I was getting popcorn during the instructions haha.

Marcus is a bad man!  CNN reporter mentions hopelessness and senseless deaths and Marcus sets that record straight real quick.   "we didn't feel hopeless until we were dead"

Awesome movie, best I've seen in a while

[Tempest455]

VERY intense and well done.

 

Wow!

[Tedro2022]

Just bought tickets for the wife and I to go see it tonight. Can't wait to see it, the book was very inspiring.

[LCPfraTN]

We went and saw the movie last night...great movie. The individual memorials at the end really choked me up. Saving Private Ryan probably had more emotional moments for me, but this movie ranks right up there with it.

[KKing]

Just got out from seeing it. Needless to say I've been very quiet on the ride home. Great movie

[runco]

Well I got to see it, all I can say is excellent.  5 stars and two thumbs up!  :up: :up:  The theater audience had a long applause at the conclusion. 

 

What an outstanding group of Americans!

Saw it this afternoon and there was a large group of combat vets and their families in the theater also.  Very powerful, especially the credits (make sure to stick around if you can).  Lots of sniffles and applause as the lights came up.

Sitting in the theater right now waiting on it to start. I would venture to say that probably over 80% of the audience is military vets. Read the book when it first came out. Really looking forward to it. Sent from my iPhone using [URL=http://tapatalk.com/m?id=1]Tapatalk[/URL]

I will take it that there are not many "Obama 2012" shirts in the audience right?

 

My understand is this president has the least respect of our military ever

Went to watch it today at a mantinee time at Turkey Creek, The place was packed. I would give it 5 stars. I'm glad Marcus had a lot of input, and the movie didn't get too hollywoodized.

just saw it too, decided to read the book after the movie... 5 star for sure. hated the fact i knew about the helo getting taken out and how it would end...i want to believe that the comm issue has gotten better, and more common sense is given to roe thoughts. i would have left the herders nytied to the trees and popped smoke based on the 3 options. that flick didnt make me happy. it pissed me off but at least it made more common folk aware of the rigors of the terrain and other crap the troops deal with downrange. thought it was cool they explained pashtu tradition at the end and memorialized some of the guys at the end. def a must see. the weapons were kind of off but worked. the tech advisors prob flinched at wahlbergs ar....

Got an idea, you all want to do a TGO movie event with matching O '12 shirts?

What was wrong with his rifle?

[79troublehead]

Brave men have always been brave men,   and hollywood could make Miley Cyrus look like the Virgin Mary. 

[tennessee01tacoma]

One thing I did like is that the suppressed rifles didn't sound the way Hollywood normally makes them sound, you know like someone sneezing or however you like to describe it.

[Trekbike]

Dustbuster, I'm with Daniel, what was wrong with his rifle? Luttrell carried a MK 12 according to his accounts, and while I never got a close look due to the action, it appeared to resemble a MK 12.

[173rdABN]

Sure looked like a mark 12 mod 0 to me... Didn't see anything wrong with it....

[Dustbuster]

Nothing wrong w it except if luttrell was corpsman I'd figure him to have anything but a mark12. I didn't read the book so I'm thinking out loud... If I'm wrong I know someone will educate me

He was more than a corpsman. He also went to sniper school.
