Do you honestly think that Black Hawk Down is "the best god damn movie ever made"? If so, then (this may sound odd) you should start watching more movies. Personally I found it to be rather boring. There was some dialogue at the beginning, but within about ten minutes, it just turned into a big war scene that lasted for the rest of the movie. That's actually how most newer war films are (That's why I'm not a big fan of them). Anyway, I thought that the acting was bad; The direction was so-so; And the cinematography just wasn't too impressive. I wasn't expecting that much from it, though. I've never been a big Ridley Scott fan. I just don't think that he has the ability to tell a story in an interesting way. So sue me. By the way, Gekko, you sound just like my uncle, who I was watching the movie with. He's a crazed postal worker who, for whatever reason, is really "interested" in wars and whatnot. He wouldn't shut up during the movie (Like I really minded). He kept saying crap like "Yeah, all this **** happened because of Clinton (He's one of those "serious" "Republicans")! If he didn't ***** foot around this **** and send more troops in, none of this god damn **** would have happened!" Man, that guy is annoying.
