really . really . i know if you make a political war movie you will get notice but this movie be just garbage . horrible in every sense . terribly inaccurate in so many way . i have an easy time believe the president of the united state suit up and fly a jet fighter and and shoot down alien . it be easy to note the few thing that be right . my jaw drop when i saw some one say that this movie be the best in the last 25 year . it be overact and seemingly pointless plot diversion and and have questionable cinematography at time . x box and youtube and acupat utility do anyone check that these thing do not exist in 2004. it not like you have to do extensive research and it be only five year before this movie come out . i be an iraq war veteran and if you spend one day with an infantry platoon or an eod squad you would realize how b. s. this movie be . to compare this to platoon or save private ryan be ludicrous . why do not you just throw commando and red dawn in there too while i think those might be more accurate . if for some reason you can see past the unbelievable plot and the historical and factual discrepancy and then this movie might just be ok. nothing more . if you keep on hear oscar buzz and and have to add your own pompous review and go right ahead . a for me and i be write the director to see if i can get my 131 minute back .
