Were any of you there?

Rating: Null/10 (19 March 2004)

I can't believe some couch potato critics have the nerve to decide what the movie conveyed, or on the events as portrayed. Gen. Moore and Joe Galloway were there and wrote the book the movie was based on. Also whenever the US military is portrayed as anything other than baby killing druggy misfits it's "cliche" according to them. Unfortunatly, fantasy fictions such as APOCALYPSE NOW and PLATOON have become the standard to which the ignorant and uncaring public views the Vietnam War and those who fought it. WE WERE SOLDIERS...a true story, is derided as "cliche" and "Hollywood." This story was about true heroism, bravery, and brotherhood and comraderie in war. I wonder if these "critics" degraded BAND OF BROTHERS as well...probably.
