Got done watching it about an hour ago, don't care how "true to the story" it is...great movie."Any dog under 50lbs is a cat and cats are pointless." - Ron SwansonComment

I watched this today with my Mom, we both liked it. It was very intense. My Dad saw it too, first movie he's seen at the theater in 10 years.Comment

Watched this on Friday. It was an excellent movie! I was surprised at how respectful and quiet everyone in the theater was when it was over and while exiting.
I would recommend this movie to anyone."Laws that forbid the carrying of arms...disarm only those who are neither inclined nor determined to commit crimes...Such laws make things worse for the assaulted and better for the assailants; they serve rather to encourage than to prevent homicides, for an unarmed man may be attacked with greater confidence than an armed man." - Thomas Jefferson, 1776Comment

Just saw it. I liked it. As said, book was better. Movie was like speed reading through the book, all the book events happened so fast in the movie.
From what I've seen, it looks like they used the real pictures of families and spouses of the soldiers in the film. I enjoyed all the cameos of Marcus Luttrell in the film. Good stuff there.
I wished that had used Murphy's real closing words on the Sat phone. I wanted more of the relationship between Axe and Luttrell to be shown, as the focus seemed more on Luttrell and Murphy. I wished they showed more of the cat-n-mouse of the Afghans hiding Marcus in and around the village from the Taliban. I understand the Hollywood-zation, but I would have preferred the cat-n-mouse, build that tension, then maybe in closing the run to the next village and stumble into the rescue group there (as in the book) but Hollywood-ize a climatic battle there for the extract.Last edited by GhostTX; 01-24-2014, 06:36 PM."Self-government won't work without self-discipline." - Paul HarveyComment

TTT
Lone Survivor came out on DVD and PPV today.
I watched it on PPV, and wow, what a movie. The very end, just before the credits, is what really got to me though.
Excellent, excellent movie."It is in truth not for glory, nor riches, nor honours that we are fighting, but for freedom - for that alone, which no honest man gives up but with life itself."Comment

I think Cooper could make a fairly convincing Chris Kyle. He's definitely getting the build for it.

I agree. There were several aspects that I wished had followed closer to the book. I particularly didn't care for the arguing over whether to kill the goat herders when in the book they didn't argue just mentioned their options. Also when Murphy was killed it was a bad deal not exactly like the movie. Luttrell mentions having to drop his gun to cover his ears while Murph screamed for help.Originally posted by GhostTX View Post
The end with pictures is rough and hard to watch with a dry eye.Originally posted by helosailor View Post"It's another burrito, it's a cold Lone Star in my hand!"Comment

Exactly what the public (read: people who knew and loved Murph) needs to see when watching a movie about their last battle.Originally posted by dee View PostComment

While I didn't serve I agree whole heartedly. That is one of the things I liked about Band of Brothers as it showed some similar scenarios.Originally posted by Pokulski-Blatz View Post"It's another burrito, it's a cold Lone Star in my hand!"Comment

I haven't watched the movie to many times since I first saw it but I plan on buying the DVD mostly for the extras. For those of you that don't know, there's a documentary on Murph that's worth a watch. I downloaded it and it was OK but gives a lot of background on him.
