agnelson’s review of “We Were Solders”
I went and seen “We were soldiers” last night with Mel Gibson. I think I may
be “losing my edge” because I found it very disgusting. Just a movie full of
shooting and killing. I give it 0 stars, don’t go see it.
My response and review of “Hart’s War”
- Mel Gibson has been doing entirely too many “yay! We’re Americans”
movies lately… especially for an Aussie. All these movies disguise
themselves as war movies to get the guys to come in, but it always seems to
me like it’s just a fucking drama with emotional growth of the characters.
The explosions are unnecessarily thrown in to maintain the interest of those
with phenomenally short attention spans.
I don’t know if you’ve seen Hart’s War yet, but if you haven’t then
go see that one. Not a lot of dumb explosions or stupid pride in being a
solder… just real honour along the lines of the good old war movies like
Dirty Dozen. Not the best movie I’ve seen, but a lot less flag-waving than
most of the recent war flicks
