Unbelievably disappointing

Rating: 3/10 (6 June 2011)

Though this movie incorporates a wonderful message (war is a drug)and has very good character development, "The Hurt Locker" has probably the poorest writing I have ever experienced from any form of media, be it books, television, or movies. This script fails to incorporate the basic fundamentals of the English language. This script also contains many phrases intended for laughs, but all of them intensely fail to be funny. Honestly, was this your first-grade writing project?
My biggest concern with this movie is that it has no identifiable conflict. Sure, their new leader was kind of a pain to deal with, but in the movie (spoiler): he has no change of heart and continues to do the things he would normally do, and the others just out of the blue begin to deal with it. Not that they tried to fix this about him at all. This movie was basically just a bomb squad walking around Iraq putting out IEDs, which is fine if you want if you want to make a documentary, but that's obviously not what Bigelow and Boal intended, and for that, they failed in making this movie.
