Not Bad...

Rating: 6/10 (9 December 2009)

Prior to seeing this film I heard a lot of hype from people of all ages and I must say I was a little disappointed. I don't know what it was about the film or what it was that I possibly didn't get but I just didn't think it was an amazing movie. However, there were some things that I did particularly enjoy. First of all, I loved the intro scene, the refueling of the plane sequence was awesome. Next, the acting in the film was very good; I mean sitting there watching that scene in the beginning when the guys are all on the plane and some are playing cards, some are looking at playboy, it just seemed so realistic and a great depiction of what soldiers really do. The camera work of the movie was also really good I loved how they used a variety of different shots instead of the same old boring one every time. I also really enjoyed the sound of the film but specifically in the shootout scene towards the end. The comedy wasn't too bad either. Perhaps if I was around in the time it was originally released it would of had a different affect on me.
