This movie rules! Hard. That is all.

I didn't think the movie was that good as a movie, but it was at least realistic which is what I was hoping for.

I wanted to see some americans dying. Such a dissapointment.

Re: AC\'s Jarhead movie review
 

totally watered down from the book.

I give it 3 out of 5.

Jake and Jamie were good though.

People who go with expectations like this will be disappointed.

Overall I think it was the best movie without a plot that ive seen. However, movies are supposed to have plots.

It was very slow through times.

I got the narnia bucket popcorn combo. Seemed like I got more popcorn than the standard bag.

Will people who liked "Black Hawk Down" with Josh Hartnett like this movie? Does it stick to a plot and ignore all sorts of political messages? (TSC said it has no plot already) Is there good action? Does it accurately depict marine life in Desert Storm?

And I don't wanna here about whiners who say the book was better. The book is ALWAYS better, and if I wasn't so lazy I'd take the 5-10 hours to read it. I want to know if it's better than all the other crappy movies that are out there.

ps. Did anyone see "Green Street Hooligans" with Frodo in it? That looked good. maybe there's already a thread on it or something.

I can answer a couple of your questions.


I didnt see any political messages at all.
There was no action.
I think the whole point of the movie was to depict marine life through desert storm.

hahaha, thats classic

The tagline on the poster says it all "welcome to the suck."

A whole lot of nothing goes on in this film. It has some parts to it which were good, but overall I found this movie to be a very average film. Jake and Jamie are really what keep this film together, both do great jobs at their roles.

I would give it a solid "C" but thats about it.

Re: AC\'s Jarhead movie review
 

The book just does a better job of decribing the mentality of jarheads. I think there needed to be more explaining of that in the movie. Other than that, the movie was good, but I knew what to expect going in. I knew there wasn't going to be much if any action.
