Ratings and reviews

Im ashamed of you reviewers .. This movie should of been made, has merit and your balking at one of the world's foremost directors and his vision of a story that he deemed relevant. Sometimes, often unfortunately, I find myself so far away from the lions share of my other species mates. "a good war movie" someone hoped.. You tool this is a good war movie... Your words betray you and your understanding of the world you live and enjoy freedom in.

It was a good movie. It was not the traditional type of war movie. My very good friend won two bronze stars in Iraq. I once asked him why he never talks about how he one those two bronze stars. He said, "would you talk about the two worst days in your life"?. The story of the movie probably resonates with veterans who feel like they always get asked by civilians and POG's how they won their awards.

Billy Lynn's Long Halftime Walk is a bit of a trudge.I'm very disappointed! I had high hopes for this movie. Thought it was a war movie. Don't waste your money on this. Long halftime show indeed. Lol who gets away with that much crap inside a Stadium.
