simply wonderful

Rating: Null/10 (12 December 2003)

We Were Soldiers is quite possibly the greatest war movie ever. This titles isn't given out lightly considering all the great movies that have been made (Platoon, Hamburger Hill, Saving Private Ryan). No movie I have seen has devled so deep into the emotion of war. It mixes the intese action scenes with the back home emotion of lost loved ones, in such away that it leaves you breathless.
Were Were Soldiers shows us the first battle in the Vietnam War, before the country boycotted it, before we knew we couldn't possibly win the war, back to when our professional soldiers went into the with hope and honor. Because of this we are given a totally different perspective than any other Vietnam War movie, and a perspective that you need to see.
This movie is incredibly emotional, and incredibly accurate (see Lt. Col. Moore's comments on the special features). This is a must see.
