black hawk down? you stinking piece of garbage

yeah. that's right. that movie sucked some huge dick. i wasted four friggin dollars on that POS last night. it was alright for the first 45 minutes. then it settled into about another 50 minutes (or more) of straight shooting. it was ridiculous. at least 1000 somolians died in event that it was based on, and i swear to god, you saw everyone of them die in the movie. it was sad. all i could think about from halfway on was how much i wanted a cigarette. and i don't smoke, people. criminy.

dude it wasnt that bad.....i guess ive just been desensitized by saving private ryan

Posted by {b.s.e.} on Mar-30-2002 18:55:

nah. it was horrible. see, saving private ryan was actually a decent movie. there was a plot.

Posted by Special_K on Mar-30-2002 19:05:

man the movie was based on actual events. Im sure they tried to keep it true to what actually happend......it would be silly if they added little sub-plots for your entertainment.

I think your the first person i have heard that has given it a bad review

what culture? starving to death, and being ridden of disease?
warlords were fucking the country over, so we took em out. It's not like we attacked to slap a few fucking McDonalds there....

Posted by Special_K on Mar-30-2002 21:31:

ummmm.....the americans wernt trying to take over somalia. Wernt they trying to to go in and capture some warlord or somthing?

Posted by Special_K on Mar-30-2002 21:35:

ya davinox, heh i just saw your post....so i was right about the warlord thing. Its funny now after sept 11th somalia is beggin for the americans help to control terrorism in there country.....i wonder what would happen if the US went back in....im sure they will in time

Posted by AnotherWay83 on Mar-30-2002 21:35:

i liked the movie quite a alot...i didn't go c it to learn sumthing about war, i just went for entertainment, u should never expect anything from hollywood to be all true anyway, didn't u know that by now...

it was just entertainment for me so i enjoyed it

if i wanted to learn about the war i'd go read a book or sumthing heheheh..

peace

they interviewed some of the guys that were actually there and they said it was similar....not dead on of course but it was a pretty accurate portrail of what happend. I think they killed more women and children in real life though

Posted by ABTsportsline on Mar-31-2002 00:31:

i think it was a great movie.

What you guys need to realize is that its not just for entertainment, but also like a memorial to those guys fighting a war that had nothing to do with them.... It really pictoralizes how a bunch of guys feel about fighting a war they had nothing to do with as well... But yes, it wasn't just about america coming in there and bullying the somalians around, davinox had it dead-on.... gang wars were tearing that country apart and we were just trying to re-install peace there. Yet another case of America getting involved in something it has nothing to do with, but still you can't fault us.... Someone had to do something, i just wish it didn't always have to be america.

We should celebrate those who lost their lives, not give "two thumbs down".

Posted by whiskers on Mar-31-2002 00:56:

well, i spent $8.50 for a 10:20 showing and i'm not sorry; the movie was awesome!

Posted by Vivid Boy on Mar-31-2002 02:04:

listen the UN and the states didnt step in just tocapture a warlord and go home...they were trying to "help out"....but in actuality they were trying to place a democratic government....like jesus ppl read up on ur history

wasnt needed?? yeah these guys were doing great..

but to get back @ the actualy movie..ofcourse its a load of bull whats happening.. that doesnt mean its pretty g00d entertainment.. Wasnt bored during the movie.. Its just fun 2 watch.. (not concidering that it actually happened).. Id love to be that one guy.. who also played in pearl harbor.. hes like immortal in this movie.. 5 million toothpicks shooting @ him.. he just runs along.. Props 4 that.. O yea i did think the director tryd a few quenton tarantino things.. (as seen in from dusk till dawn) weird and kewl camera angels etc.. But it didnt really work in this movie..

still i rate it a 7.. watch it if ya get the time.. (not with a girl though.. )

Posted by ExOn on Mar-31-2002 21:03:

My gf loved it!(Yes i have one now)

She was all(c'mon shoot that one and this one)lol! She was all wild..until i told her that it was based on a real event) she didn't see the first 3 min of it..then she was all hushed up..
she cried a bit...

exactly.. I think that america gets critcized because we always go in and try to help. ..and everybody always thinks we have selfish intentions.. but seriously.. is it that hard for you to accept.. that maybe we wanted to help the starving and dying people?

it was an awesome movie, I think I might even go see it a second time

well this just goes to show you that there are 2 types of movies, and movie goers. the ones that like realism, and fancy camerawork, and those that need a love story thrown in to tug at their heart strings. SPR was good, but prolly a little too sentimental/emotional for real life. i havent seen BHD but from what i understand is that its unforgiving, realistic and stylistic. it sounds like id like it, but ill have to wait n see it.

for me tho, a movie is never good just because it gets me all gushy- doing that does NOT indicate filmmaking talent. shit, Hallmark cards make some people gushy. SPR was good, and i enjoyed it, but its a war movie thats dangerously close to Forrest Gump and Patch Adams...late/

hmm. it seems i was misunderstood here. i didn't say that the movie wasn't true to what happened, i'm just saying after a while, all the bodies that were dropping to the ground didn't seem as impactful.

drawn out is all i said. there were some redeeming qualities in it, just wasn't as epic as everyone said it was.
