Default Best God Damn Movie Ever Made

Black Hawk Down. See it, now!!

But it's very violent. Bought 2 hours of constant war footage. Guys finger hangs off. Guy gets blown in half. They reach inside this dude's leg. But it makes for a perfect film.

Go see it now!

Yeah... This movie looks completely wicked. Usually these wars movies do, but even from the previews and stuff, Black Hawk Down looks to be somewhat superior.

I must, must go see it.

(And did anyone ever see Behind Enemy Lines? That looked cool, but I never checked it out(Not yet, anyway). How was it?)

I'm have Enemy at the Gates, The Green Mile, and Behind Enemy lines on my list of war movies to rent. Now I need to add Black Hawk Down, as soon as I can rent it. The worst war movie "Pearl Harbor", I didn't even see it,because aI was told it was so bad.

I haven't seen Pearl Harbor yet for the same reason - but I think if you skip over the sappy parts and just watch the battles it would be okay.

Don't see Behind Enemy Lines... It really isn't that good...

The reason I haven't seen Black Hawk Down yet is because it is developed by Ridley Scott (that's good), but with the Bruckheimer(Bad thing!)... The last times they worked together, they made absolutely S*IT films... If Ridley Scott ever did work without the Bruckheimer (like Gladiator), then it would have been okay...

You don't like the Coen brothers? *shakes fist in anger at Shadow Link*

Ya, I saw it. Not bad, but it's more of a story, you know? Like the movie had a plot, and it just happened to revolve around the fighting. It's not a movie that's really about war. That, and the ending was cheesy.

I did want to beat that UN guys ass at the end of the movie. Hell, at the beginning too. I hated him. Wait until this comes out of video.

But for Black Hawk Down, you must go see it! I've really only heard one real (non I'm a *****) complaint, and that was it was made for Hollywood. See you have like 5 characters that the movie really revolves around, and because of that, they changed things so they were in places that they actually weren't. They also added some fighting that never took place.

Still, that was a remark from the wife of one of the Rangers. To us, we wouldn't even know. Also, the movie doesn't give background information on the characters as much. I was able to piuece a lot of things together because I've read the book. The guy typing, the guy who took the armor plate out of his back, the guy who decided for the first time not to wear ear plugs, and the African safari. Made so much more sense.

They also do a great job showing you the differences between the Rangers and Deltas. Great movie, in the end. Must go see it!

Well we went to see it last night, but we had to drop my friend's step-sister off somewhere, and she kinda screwed up where it was and it turned out to be in a different area that was further away, so when we got there it was sold out...

I figured gekko would love it, cuz he's a little obsessed with the war stuff... it's scary
