This movie was truly fantastic. Truly shocked by other closed-minded reviews.

Rating: 9/10 (5 February 2015)

First of let me just say that this is my first review of a movie here on IMDb. I rarely write reviews on here simply because I'm to lazy. But reading these pointless 1-star reviews literarily made my blood boil and I found it upon myself to post an actual review of this movie.
Being an avid movie watcher and in general take an interest in film. I thought this movie was fantastic. Bradley Coopers acting was terrific and (the great) Clint Eastwood directing was something out of this world. As others have said, I literarily felt as if I was watching the actual Chris Kyle. I completely forgot that I was watching Bradley Cooper act. Cooper certainly deserves an Oscar nod if not a win (although I'm kinda rooting for Eddie Raymond, tight competition this year).
What ticks me off is 1.) People are writing one star "reviews" not on the movie, but on their personal opinion. Some of these reviews are from Italy or the UK, which frankly I don't get because their opinion has no merit. and 2.) I bet you most of the 1-star "reviews" haven't even bothered reading the actual book that Chris Kyle wrote. They just take what they may or may have not heard from the media and post it here. To anyone who is reading this and who is on the fence watching this movie..I ask you to please watch it. It is truly a fantastic movie. Don't let these worthless so called "reviews" make you not watch the movie.
