Disappointing

Rating: Null/10 (23 February 2002)

After hearing good reveiws, I decided to check out Blackhawk Down. I can see where people would give this movie a good review, considering the patriotic post-9/11 mood of the country. But for me, the fact that this was a true story (or at least BASED on a true story) does not make me automatically like it. This movie is basically a two-hour battle scene. Yes, it is intense; but after the first hour of watching people shoot and die, I just didn't care anymore. There's basically no dialogue. I can't even remember any of the character's names. This movie is not terrible but for me, it didn't live up to the hype.
