Coolest War Movie Ever

Rating: Null/10 (28 February 2000)

Let me just say that I hate the show. I just never saw what all the fuss was about. People would tell me this is because I am only 19 and have never known war. These people are idiots. The movie is one of the funniest and unique takes on war that I have ever seen. If the series had an ounce of the spark and originality of this movie and cast, it may have been a million times more popular that it already is. It is a movie about war, but really, it is about nothing at all. The whole movie feels like it's just sort of hanging out, like we're just eavesdropping on these people for awhile. Everytime I watch it I catch another joke or gesture I may have missed. The film just grows on you. The thing that sets it apart from other war movies, that makes it really cool, is that it never once stops to preach at you. No dramatic death scenes, no corny rationale for the lead characters awful behavior, the movie just is. It is touching and thoughtful on it's own. If you loved the series, see this film, and if you hated the series, you need to see it even more.
