American glorification of war put to screen

Rating: 5/10 (30 January 2015)

Wow. Just wow. I just finished watching this movie and I couldn't be more disappointed. I don't even know where to begin...
The first 30 minutes were boring as hell, the character development of Chris Kyle was just dull, and the ending... oh boy, the ending.
The whole movie (at least the good part of it) just showed Chris killing terrorists. Pretty plain and simple, nothing that stands out from other war movies.
In the end of the movie, Chris returns from the war and lives with stress disorder until the movie ends. Generally, every great war movie's climax is the death scene of the protagonist. So naturally, the ending felt very anticlimatic.
The highlight of this movie should have been Chris' and Mustafa's shootout, because of their perfect rivalry. But instead, Chris kills Mustafa with such ease as if it were just another bad guy.
A big let down, an outrage to be nominated for Best Picture and definitely the most overrated movie of 2014.
