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.

I believe, many viewers are scoring this movie based off the wrong criteria. They are more upset with the fact, that they assumed it was a military action film rather than a military drama. This movie's message is key, to it's success. It is an excellent portrayal of how "talk is cheap" when supporting our troops. Furthermore, it expresses the popular culture we live in, in regards to how we treat our military members. We act like we will give up everything for our troops, while in the spotlight and when everyone is watching; however, once the cameras are off, our actions fall short of our words.

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.
