I cant wait to see it, hopefully its like the series Over There, not to much action, not to much drama. Movies that are fast paced and all action get a little annoying, i like knowing whats going on there instead of seing peoples heads getting blown off p.s. Over There is cancelled....forever
Well here, Conservatives - Never liked their views, and Steven Harpen scares the ---- outta me... He wants to be like America too much... [/b][/quote] Heh, I think thats what is so great about Steven Harper. If we could all be more american...the world would be a better place. As an albertan I say we as a province should seperate form Canada...maybe make a new country or just become a State. We wouldn't get all our money stolen from us and we would actually be able to prosper here.
Personally I thought it was a good movie. Yes there wasn't to much fighting however it shows what people go through out there instead of some people that just sit around on the computer all day. It also fits a lot with my family since about 4 family members of mine are in the marine corps.

so wait. you're saying no one else that's in the military should say that all they do is blow ---- up? than you come and say it is realistic. did you fight in the gulf war? [/b][/quote] Well, considering that this movie is based on a book by somebody who was a Marine during the Gulf War...I would say it's realistic

are u serious?i loved that show [/b][/quote] over there was such a good show why did it get cancelled?!?!
what a great show. I believe it showed basically how it was in marine life. It actually showed what happens behind the scenes or what its actually life while not in fighting. It was a great show imo.
