Crap with a capital 'C'

Rating: 1/10 (30 September 2003)

The alleged true portrayal of events that occurred in the first conflict between America and the US. It's very hard to write more than a few words about a film that is really so awful. This is basically a John Wayne Cowboys and Indians picture.
Mel Gibson (John Wayne) wanders around the battlefield impervious to bullets and has no fear. On top of this he shows his feminine side, as he cares so much for everyone. The full well rounded Christian American. Throw in a few slow motions and the Brady Bunch and then you have it, We Were Soldiers, absolute crap.
Just take the family scenes at the beginning, does anyone know a married couple that acts so 'in love' and sappy. Totally unrealistic and unbelievable.
The Vietnamese run into bullets like robots.
Ridiculous, racist, flag waving, propaganda.
