    We Were Soldiers

    Blazeman's review

    We Were Soldiers is the best Vietnam movie made to date. The movie is based on the war memoirs of retired General Harold G. Moore and reporter Joseph L. Galloway. Who take you back through time before the battle to were the troops first came in to become soilders. You will watch them prepare for war. Also gain respect and trust in the members around them. You aslo meet almost everyone from the people who are extremely ----ie, to platoon leaders who are extremely caring. You even meet my favorite charactor "SnakeSh!t"

    The digital effects throughout the movie keep you on the edge of your set. For example: explosive bomber raids by Navy jets and exciting helicopter flights over the hilly Vietnamese landscape while being shot at. This movie is amazingly graphical though in violence and in gorryness. So when watching this movie except to feel like your actually sitting there while the battle is going on.

    We Were Soldiers is an incrediable movie about how 400 soldiers fight off 2000 vietnamese soldiers, but what makes it even more worth watching is these few soldiers only fought for the person beside them. Even though their country was sending them over there they fought for their friends, family, and last but not least country.

    We Were Soldiers is the best war movie i have seen since platoon. It gives you a realistic view of what the battles were like in Vietnam. Also you feel like you make friends with these soldiers and become attached. If you are a big war movie person this movie will end up being on the top of the movies. I recommend you go out and buy this movie.

    'We were soldiers' wasn't as good as 'Platoon', IMO.

    Still a good movie, but missing some really improtant thematic elements. Some things made me wonder about this movie. liek, "Did all the women in th 70's have botox injections?".

    Like I said, it's not bad. But I'd rather watch "platoon" or "Full Metal Jacket"

    I was anamed after "platoon" (sgt. Elias)

    But still when watching "We Were Soldiers" you actually feel a connection with the soldiers. Platoon or Full Medal Jacket do not offer that.

    I've been wanting to see this movie so I might get it.

    Currently my two favourite 'Nam films are Platoon followed by Full Metal Jacket.
