Not entirely my thing...

Rating: 6/10 (16 July 2006)

I was not as impressed as the critics by this totally-politically-correct movie. Not all wars are meaningless, not all people in this modern world of ours are without a sense of what is good, what is right and worth fighting for. Furthermore, I refuse to buy in to the overt simplification and to believe that all US Marines are basically retarded morons.
I have read the book, and even though it is not one of my favorites, it is very much different from the film, as books usually are. To me, this was not much more than an average film, one that leaves many problems untouched, many questions unanswered.
