Check it out just for Mel`s speech because its wonderful!!

Rating: 10/10 (25 October 2002)

We Were Soldiers is a great Vietnam movie and is arguably the best. Mel Gibson played a great and historic role in my opinion. The speech by Gibson was, in my opinion the greatest speech I have ever witnessed in a film. Though Mel`s character was focused on very much through out the film I feel when Barry Pepper finally showed up in the picture it then focused him a lot more than Gibson.To Me when Pepper finally arrived on the scene it seemed like it was Pepper`s movie and not Mel`s but that`s just Me. Sam Elliott was great and I feel he should play more roles like and was it just Me or did he resemble R. Lee Ermey in the film? Greg Kinnear was good for the role. I liked the film and I think most war movie fans will aswell but it has a lot of action and emotional moments but it didn`t have a lot of "war gore" in it like most of the other epic war films such as Windtalkers and Saving Private Ryan so that may disappoint some but the film has good acting and such. In My opinion I think Mel Gibson performed better in signs but his speech in this film was terrific and I recommend Gibson fans to check this film out just because of his speech because its that wonderful!
