    Lone Survivor.

    Wow. Just wow. What an incredible movie. If you haven't seen it, do it asap. The movie is amazing but what really crushed me was the photos and videos of the troops from the real mission that were posted before the ending credits. Showing them as civilians playing with their kids and pets. Man... they look like anyone I could run into here at home, you would never guess by looking at them without the uniform that they are hero's.

    Man. Hats off. Thanks for anyone and everyone serving or has served. Nothing comes close to what these men and women do. Nothing.

    What an incredible movie to remind us of the ultimate sacrifice.

    Yes bro I watched its couple weeks ago. Great movie though those cliff falling scenes made me cringe. Those were almost worse than the gunshot wounds!

    Great movie but read the book too. Much more detail. Met the guy. He's impressive, as expected.

    My old unit played a role in the real mission that the movie was based off of. It was a very good movie...no question. Loved the applause after a movie in a theatre!

    One of the most realistic war movies I've ever seen. Took my 10 year old and he loved it.

    Really? Damn. That's how I initially felt about Pulp Fiction when it came out. Then after watching it a few times I realized how good it was.

    Everyone clapped at the end of Star Wars Episode One. It was strange for me, especially that movie.

    I'm in love with Jennifer Lawrence, so I'm gonna see it. My wife wanted me to watch a movie with her one night and it was Silver Linings Playbook (or something like that). There is a dance scene with Jennifer Lawrence and she's wearing some white number. Man, I was having some sexy thoughts. They were so sexy I think it counted as cheating on my wife.

    yes....i figured that would surprise many...would it surprise you if i never seen a fast and furious movie too....and when u say simpsons i guess you are assuming i watch the simpsons......ha....NOT...NEVER...in fact...i watch very little tv....CANT STAND reality shows and that seems to be the only thing they make and the other shows seem to all have the same fluff...

    from what i hear the dexter series i may try some day....couldnt believe what they are getting for tv shows on disc these days...unbelievable how much money in tv

    Yes I really enjoyed it which means I probably won't enjoy the movie. The books always seem better.

    You'll like the movie as well. They did well getting the important points across. Watch in the beginning and you'll actually see the real Marcus Luttrell in a small part as well as the director Peter Berg.

    The one part that did sort of make me emotional was the scene during the battle where Mike was shot. You think of this big strong, almost invincible (as Marcus would describe it) man crying out to his teammate in sheer desperation for help.

    Yes. Just a shorter version. No outlandish special effects, nothing like that at all.

    I cried then too. It was crazy realistic at the theater. He took his last breath,and died, then got cornholed in the noggin.

    Got to watch the movie today. Although the movie was good the book was way better. So much was left out of the movie.

    Movie is legit. The book is better. Best part of the movie is that Marcus is in it.
