Knew it was nothing like The Bourne series that everybody keeps trying to compare it to.

I'll rent it when it comes out, but I'm getting kinda tired of war movies about Iraq. No political stance here, just saying.

I love war movies, but it has to be done right. I saw The Hurt Locker and thought it was a great movie. When I saw the preview to this movie it came to look more like a action movie then a war movie IMO. So thats why I wasnt really rushing for it. I think I wil Netflix it unless I hear that is a movie that cant be missed.

One thing for certain, a Greengrass movie is going to have a major shaky camera thing going on.

I was excited to see this movie till I read this review. Knowing now that it has a far left political agenda turns me off completely. Haven't we heard enough about there not being WMD's in Iraq?  Hasn't that ship sailed far, far away? Someone needs to make a movie about how bad this 800 million stimulus will frak up this country in years to come. Leave Bush alone already..Jesus!

 Every review I've seen makes it sound as if this movie was based on a bumper sticker:  Bush Lied, Thousands Died.

Rather than observe that at the time major intelligence services around the world thought Saddam had WMD's, I'll just ask when they plan a movie based on "If You Can Read This, You're Too Close." 

 JDK, since Dubya got us into a two front war by not tightening national security when he got into office, and then lying to Congress to start another war in another country costing us billions and putting us into a deficit (when we had been in a surplus under Clinton) which we may never get out of (much like we may never get out of Iraq or Afghanistan), I think it does bear repeating lest some morons don't learn from those rather large mistakes and attempt to repeat them. 

Kind of like loosening banking regulations on loans in 2001 that led to the housing loan collapse. But that's for another movie.

Hobbs, I saw it Saturday and you'er right. Shaky-cam overdone. Even felt a bit motion sick a couple times.

Other than that, the movie wasn't all that good, IMO. Its more of a political intrigue than actioner. I think the action scenes in the previews may have been the only ones in it.

Wow...stop reading the propaganda DaForce.  Clinton left office with 5.3 trillon dollar debt, Bush doubled it to over 10 in 8 years.  Obama has almost spent that much in one year and is going to bankrupt the nation with his massive Socialist health care plan.  That surplus thing Clinton had has been spun to the nth degree.  Bush was a moron, an idiot to the highest standards but the moron in office now is making him look like George Washington. 

Iraq was a mistake, no doubt about it and I'll be happy when we are out of there.  One of the only things I support Obama on...but Afghan?  Didn't terrorist fly planes into a few buildings about 9 years ago or something like that?  And didn't the Terrorist come from training in Afghanistan?  Or was that a conspiracy by the Evil Bush people too?

LMAO!!  Hobbs, you are SO right.

And might I add my favorite highlight of the Clinton years that everyone seems to forget:  While he was getting his knob polished in the Oval Office, he was simultaneously deconstructing our military, down to 35% of its fighting strength under Reagan.  Maybe Aghanistan would be going better if we had 20 Army infantry divisions still in existence rather than the paltry 7 we have now.  When I was there, we sure could've used more boots on the ground.

That said, Bush didn't learn that little lesson that was taught to the world by Napoleon and then reiterated by Hitler:  you don't fight a war on 2 fronts!  Moron.

But this is all old news, right?  ;) 

I just wanted to write on here that I hate Greengrass and his shaky-cam nonsense that is supposed to make things "frenetic" and end up just being annoying and headache-inducing.  He is supposed to be the ideal of action directors now, since the Bourne series, and he SUCKS. 

I miss John McTiernan.
