Don't understand the hype

Rating: 6/10 (21 July 2015)

American Sniper was not what I expected. First off, I have no problems with the actors or the director. This film felt like some type of documentary. I know its based on a book about Chris Kyle's life as a sniper for the U.S. Military. This film seemed to be going through the motions. I never saw a any scene in this film that stood out or that is memorable. Talk about being underwhelmed. Due to all the hype and talk about a great film, I'm so disappointed. Maybe I should have read the book instead.
I should find "The Hurt Locker" DVD and call it a day. This was by far a more interesting film about soldiers in Iraq. I have once again learned a lesson about believing the hype.
