Why all the bad reviews?

Rating: 9/10 (2 February 2015)

Finally got to see American Sniper last night and I loved it. I thought it was a detailed account of the life of Chris Kyle. Yes it was full of American propaganda but what American War film isn't? At the end of the day, say what you want about this film but I think Clint Eastwood did a fantastic job by bringing the life of Chris Kyle onto our screens. Many people on here have said that they think Chris Kyle was not a hero but a murderer. He was doing his job and protected his fellow soldiers like he should have. I do not believe that Clint Eastwood made all Iraqi's look like 'Terrorists' as many of you have said, if you actually listened during the film you would have heard that everyone was evacuated from their homes for their safety but the ones that remain were mainly looking to fight. They were barging into peoples homes but that home should have been empty, there should not have been families inside as they should have fled the area for their own safety. They were not glorifying war, in fact they were doing quite the opposite and showed how the war can effect your mental health. My brother came home from war and he needed medical help to get him back to the way he was before he went on tour. To summarise, I believe this film portrayed an American HERO (that's right, he was a hero), his story was incredible and his family should be extremely proud of him. Yet another amazing film by Clint Eastwood and brilliant acting by Bradley Cooper. Bravo!
