The Hurt Locker is the worst movie of the year.

It looked bad before I watched it, but since so many said it was so good, I gave in. I watched it. It sucked. Totally way too unrealistic. Of course, this is just my opinion. I still want to know why so many think it is so good.

If you saw the movie, and thought it was good, please tell me why.

I hate any movies with talking animals and super hero movies because they don't exist in real life.

This must have been the only movie you saw over the last year. That is the only way any person can call it worst of the year.

the main plot was a made up for sure,but it's called realistic because the movie was pretty good at presenting war's atmosphere and what soldiers have been through during these years.

[QUOTE="xaos"][QUOTE="spazzx625"] I can almost promise it's a better movie than Tooth Fairy ;)spazzx625

I know right, a samoan playing hockey? I mean come on.

It wasn't a documentary, the fact that it had aspects that were "unrealistic" does not mean anything, and for you to hate it because of that is well...dumb. Why was it good? It was a suspense filled and thrilling war film about the effects war can have on the mind of soldiers and the relationship among them, good and bad. SaintLeonidas

I can understand you not liking it, but the worst movie of the year?! That's bit extreme, no?

I very much enjoyed The Hurt Locker, I'm rooting for it to do well at the Oscars.

[QUOTE="spazzx625"][QUOTE="M1Hunter66"] Boom, right there. That is one of the main reasons why its lack of any kind of realism bothers me. Probably half the stuff in that movie would never happen. The whole sniper scene was garbage, the scene where they go rogue is garbage, the scene where the Ranger goes rogue is garbage. The acting, special effects, editing, sound....all good. The lack of realism though just brings the whole movie down. If this is the best Hollywood can come up with as far as GWoT movies go...then im dissapointed.M1Hunter66

Why?

how could you say that? You aint never been out there. You will never understand how much danger we face everyday out there in the battlefield. So don't sit there judging while you eating your popcorn getting fat and watch movies. What Honor & Respect do you have??? NONE!!!

One bomb exploding in this movie would probably be better than Tooth Fairy.

[QUOTE="M1Hunter66"][QUOTE="spazzx625"]Where was it decided that the movie was supposed to be realistic? :?kidsmelly

Why?

[QUOTE="kidsmelly"]

[QUOTE="M1Hunter66"] You would think with the war still going on they would at least TRY to make it a little realistic.M1Hunter66

Why?

Not tomention it isn't THAT unrealistic, soldiers who have seen it have not only enjoyed it but thought it was a good representation of what goes on in Iraq.SaintLeonidas

And which soldiers would you be talking about? I have yet to meet on soldier, anywhere, that thought this movie was realistic or good. I understand that you can't have a 100% realistic movie. I understand that the uniforms are never going to be 100% correct and all that. But to have entire scene's that are outright implausible is almost offensive to the military community.

I just want to know what movies you like? Just about every movie is embellished for entertainment. Unless its march of the penguins.

My brother thought it was good. He did two tours in Iraq.
My childhood friend thought it was good. He just got back from Afghanistan.
Two buddies from college both thought it was good. They've both done their time in Iraq.

edit: Yes, Morgan Freeman does narriate penguins in real life.

It looked bad before I watched it, but since so many said it was so good, I gave in. I watched it. It sucked. Totally way too unrealistic. Of course, this is just my opinion. I still want to know why so many think it is so good.

If you saw the movie, and thought it was good, please tell me why.

M1Hunter66

I have no interest in seeing it. I think the people who like it are those who have no conception of what the military is like.

EDIT: those who think it's realistic. I'm sure it's still entertaining, but I'm not a fan of corny war films and that's what this looks like. But, my opinion doesn't really count since I haven't actually since it, I guess.

Why does it being unrealistic matter in relation to how good of a movie it is? That seems to be your only reason for not liking it.spazzx625
