To the nay-sayers...and others

Rating: 10/10 (31 March 2002)

I've noticed a lot of complaining about the lack of character development in this movie. Why? It was a movie about a historical event, bottom line. Although I can't verify how closely the movie followed to the actual events, it was still great. I think it hit hard with me because it is a different kind of war movie that portrayed something that happened recently. They wear the same uniforms, shoot the same weapons, talk about the same stuff as we (in the Army) do now. Stop griping about this movie and just sit back and enjoy. Also, this next bit is a moral imperative; This movie is rated R for a reason and (my opinion of course) it's wrong to bring little kids (4-6 yrs.) to see this movie. People are getting blown up and there were kids sitting behind me crying. Disney makes movies for them so take your kids to see them.
