I will probably see this movie

This looks like it could be a pretty badass movie. I'm going to see it on Saturday.

I predict this will be a terrible movie...but I may be biased, as I have a brother who was a special force marine, and I actually know marines, and I don't think Hollywood's going to do a very good job portraying them (especially with Jake Gyllanhof[sp?] as the lead). Wasn't Jakethebake a marine...what say you?

we will see for sure but anthony swofford (author of the book and the marine/lead charcter--gyllanhall's character) had a ton of influence in this movie, what went in and out and worked with mendes with the script. this will be a movie that isn't pro war or against war, but about war from the mind of someone who was in it...not the mind of a man behind a camera. if swofford had as much to do with this film as mendes said he did then there will not be too much hollywood fluff about it (there has to be a little to appeal to a broad general audience cause if you read the book you would know that a lot of that grit can't be directed straight to screen).

it could be a bust who knows, i hope not.

mendes has said some incredible stuff about jake g. and why he took the role...

ghyllenhal comes from an acting family and is a very good actor imho.

he also named his company 'nine stories' tribute to salinger. totally cool in my book.

I think I have to see this movie, for obvious reasons, but I'm not particularly excited about it. I have a feeling it will be a bit too touchy-feely-hollywoodish for me.

PS. I'm going to wait to see it for a couple weeks, as seeing a movie called "Jarhead" opening week in San Diego could be a nightmare.

I get pumped every time i see this trailer.

Freaking awesome.


I can't wait.

i HATE this. If you're excited to see a movie, [censored] reading reviews, you already know you want to see it.

I was looking forward to seeing Fantastic 4 (yea shut up) and me and my friend were going to, and then he read all the reviews and decided it sucked.

THINK FOR YOURSELF

bbadfljk.

Not that reviews arent good for a movie that you dunno if you want to see.. but if you decide something looks good, why let someone you don't know, make you not want to see something.

hey man congrats on your EPT tourney placing
