great concept-bad movie

Rating: 1/10 (10 November 2005)

I was really looking forward to this movie. when i saw the trailer i was so excited. i could not get that song out of my mind. the trailer was so amazing the cinema photography was great. the acting was great. the trailer seemed to be that of a great action movie. the reality of war....................... i bought the ticket and was the first one in the theater .i could not wait my heart was pounding. "this movie will be a classic" i said to myself the lights dimmed....the preview stated..... i was getting ready for a journey in to war. finally the movie started........................................5 min go by nothing ..........................12 min go by still nothing..................34 min go by still nothing ..............................49..........60 min go by still nothing..............................the movie ends.
i am not a movie critic but if you are going to show a movie with an action packed trailer. would it be good to have some action in the movie.
i feel that i was not the only one upset. at the end of the movie when all the soldiers are in the bus back in the state i felt whey also shared the same feelings as me. I can only see the casting wear making a movie about desert storm. all the actors are most probably excited ..right. well they were miss led as well you can see it their faces. esp at the end when a Vietnam vet gets on the bus to be with his brothers he was excited but i feel that the guys that just came back waisted their 2,3,4, or 5 years of their lives. and for what "4 min of shooting their guns in the air....... very sad movie... great concept bad execution.......
