Did not like the MOVIE.

Rating: Null/10 (8 March 2015)

I went to see this movie only knowing two things:
1: It's based on a true story.
2: It's from the director of "Battleship".
Knowing those two facts, I kept an open mind as to how the story would be told, and boy was I disappointed. It lacked the substance that other war/combat films (Saving Private Ryan, Thin Red Line, Black Hawk Down, and American Sniper) had. It tried, and fell flat.
The story of Lone Survivor in a nutshell is a very tragic story of very brave men who made the ultimate sacrifice with only one man left alive. A skilled filmmaker should have had no problem conveying that to the screen. This one did with weak character development, poor pacing, and (what looked like to me) a glorification of violence.
I'm not bad mouthing the actual events that happened to these brave men. All I'm really saying is, these men deserved a better film than this.
