Movie Reviews of We Were Soldiers (Widescreen Edition)
Movie Review: A great movie
Summary: 5 Stars
All i can say is i cried during most of this movie.We did not lose this war.Politics lost it.I know i was there,and it's the first and last time the N.V.A.regulars came out to meet us man to man.Movie Review: A Great Film Demonstrating Enormous Resolve of Our Troops
Summary: 5 Stars
This film is very intense, realistic and superbly shot. The production values are incredible. As a slice of life from the Vietnam era, the film captures the esprit de corps of the troops, the strength of the soldier's wives as well as the challenge of a new era in warfare. Mel Gibson is excellent. His sargeant, Sam Elliott, was a superb characterization of a tough sargeant who went through all three major parachute jumps in World War II. He is a no nonsense warrior.
All the more powerful is the portrayal of Gibson's faith in light of duty, courage and devotion to his men. Greg Kinnear did an excellent job as a challenged pilot creating a new Air-Cav warfare in the early days of Vietnam. His copilot "Too Tall" received the Congressional Medal of Honor decades ago. Kinnear's character finally received his CMH in the last year - long overdue.
Powerful. Memorable. Realistic.
Movie Review: Horatio at the Bridge.
Summary: 5 Stars
It is correct for us to honor free men who fought to keep others free. These are lessons that need to be taught to each generation. It is also correct for us to hear the counter argument. Heros can take that.Movie Review: The futility of war
Summary: 4 Stars
This movie drives it home very strongly how futile and painful war is. Hundreds of men sent to their deaths for no good reason, maybe that would have been a better name for this movie, "For No Good Reason".
A very moving war story shown partly from both sides about the tragedy and suffering involved when 2 armies decide to take each other on, no holds barred, in a full frontal assault.
Mel Gibson is true to form, a powerful and strong epic from a master actor and producer, he has been involved in many great movies over the last 25 years,and deserves full credit for yet another commanding performance, despite a few fopar's off screen, he really is a legend of the modern movie era.
Movie Review: An Excellent War Movie
Summary: 4 Stars
One of the finest, gripping and compelling war movie ever (also Tora Tora Tora, The Longest Day and Sands of Iwo Jima). Think what you want about Mel Gibson, however, this cast is remarkable and believable in the midst of the most incredible and horrific of battle. Note to chicks: unless you get the horror of war and the nature of the soldier, you probably won't like this film. I have seen it three times and I still am in awe of the suffering and heroism of those who served.
