    1. I liked it ( i like war movies and stuff )
    2. It was a bit longer than expected and a bit slow but didnt affect me a lot
    3. It shouldnt have been given an Oscar award just because its about American soldiers in Iraq. ( although its admirable what soldiers do )

    I personally spent time in Iraq with an infantry division and I must say that, despite what extremepullups has to say, the movie was quite realistic. The explosions and action was, of course a bit overplayed. The emotional display in the movie was very true life. I give it an 8/10

    Cheers,
    Vinny

    Well. This is not a war movie. It's about hazardous duty in dangerous situations, sometimes real, sometimes perceived. I also was in Iraq as downeastdesign and i do think this movie captured the situations of the bombdefusal teams really well. but the movie is not about that either. it's about how war affects somemones mind. As seen in the movie he leaves hes familly to get back to the action after he has been sent home already.

    this movie is NOT best picture territory. weak acting, 2-dimensional characters, lots of machismo and explosions. i'd give it a 6/10. if i paid to see it, i'd want my money back. thankfully i only wasted time on it.

    explosions= realistic

    that guy doing whatever the hell he wanted (leave the FOB, go freakin commando in down town Baghdad) = not realistic at all and basically misportrays what the military is doing in Iraq

    I can just say that It is a fantastic movie. Avatar has done good business and a nice 3D movie. But The hurt locker is totally different and unique movie...

    I actually didn't enjoy it that much. There didn't really seem to be a big plot, just kind of blowing up things one after the other...
