I consider all those who risk their lives in service to my country to be heros. Chris Kyle was one of many such heros.I find labeling Chris Kyle a "hero" somewhat disingenuous.
He was just a soldier who was highly proficient at his job. ......
They had crazy GI movies in a few WWII movies produced 50 years ago...The reason American Sniper is getting so much shall we say dislike from the left is because in my opinion the movie did not do three things a lot of the left would want to see in a movie concerning the Iraq war. It did not portray the American solider as a kill crazy psycho, it did not have a blame America theme, and there was no trashing of George W Bush. It was a story about one solider and the effect the war had on him and his family no flag waving no political messages as far as people considering Kyle a hero well that is all in the eye of the beholder there are a lot of people who consider Edward Snowden a hero everyone has their own idea of what a hero is.
I liked the US sniper in Saving Private Ryan...Frankly, it isn't that good a movie to warrant all the attention it is getting. Chris Kyle was no more of a hero sniping from a rooftop than were the guys who were kicking in doors to search for terrorists. Like many others he came home with PTSD, but volunteering for four tours didn't help that condition or his family life, either. For me, the main lesson of the movie is that we squandered the sacrifices of these soldiers to make Iraq safe for its citizens.
It is better that Saving Private Ryan - imo.
Yes, I liked the series also...My channels at home are usually on the AHC..I liked Saving Private Ryan but agree American Sniper is better these two along with the Band Of Brothers miniseries are my top three war movies.They had crazy GI movies in a few WWII movies produced 50 years ago...The reason American Sniper is getting so much shall we say dislike from the left is because in my opinion the movie did not do three things a lot of the left would want to see in a movie concerning the Iraq war.

That's nice...but I am am no hero...I consider all those who risk their lives in service to my country to be heros. Chris Kyle was one of many such heros.I find labeling Chris Kyle a "hero" somewhat disingenuous.

I'd go just cause it's a Clint Eastwood production..Is it worth watching?
Best movie I've seen in ten years. You need to go to the theatre and see it. It is well worth the money.

Agreed! This is one film not to wait until it's released for streaming. The awesomeness of the chilling musical sound track and effects can never be appreciated without seeing/hearing it in a theater. I thought the choppers were flying right over my head. I seldom ever go to a theater for movies and am so glad that little something inside me, told me to go. You could hear a pin drop for two hours and 12 minutes. I loved the way Eastwood went back-and-forth from Iraq to the family. This was not a typical war movie.

300 was no where close to reality....I liked Saving Private Ryan but agree American Sniper is better these two along with the Band Of Brothers miniseries are my top three war movies.They had crazy GI movies in a few WWII movies produced 50 years ago...The reason American Sniper is getting so much shall we say dislike from the left is because in my opinion the movie did not do three things a lot of the left would want to see in a movie concerning the Iraq war.

Haven't seen Band of Brothers but the movie 300 was in my top three picks for best war movies. American Sniper is at the top of the other two.
Me, too!I liked the US sniper in Saving Private Ryan...
I agree.Band of Brothers is one of the best 10-11 hours of TV that I have ever watched.
Is it worth watching?
Best movie I've seen in ten years. You need to go to the theatre and see it. It is well worth the money.
Based on... what?Frankly, it isn't that good a movie to warrant all the attention it is getting.
Wait... did you just agree that a movie you haven't seen isn't that good of a movie?I agree.Frankly, it isn't that good a movie to warrant all the attention it is getting.
And while I haven't seen the movie...
You forgot the wholesale absence of moral equivocation.The reason American Sniper is getting so much shall we say dislike from the left is because in my opinion the movie did not do three things a lot of the left would want to see in a movie concerning the Iraq war. It did not portray the American solider as a kill crazy psycho, it did not have a blame America theme, and there was no trashing of George W Bush.

Again: Based on what I've read and heard, by and from persons whose opinions I respect, about this fellow, Kyle, and about this movie, I believe I know what to expect and so I wouldn't go any further than HBO to watch it.Wait... did you just agree that a movie you haven't seen isn't that good of a movie?
Do you always argue from prejudice and/or the opinion of others, or is this a special case?
Based on... what?Frankly, it isn't that good a movie to warrant all the attention it is getting.
Any movie that pisses the pansy left off this bad has got to be a world-class winner.
I don't remember reading that anyone was "pissed". Its just that some people believe the movie be truthful.
The US still thinks war is a John Wayne movie and this movie demeans and belittles what Kyle and others gave to their country.
So you DID just agree that a movie you haven't seen isn't that good of a movie and you ARE arguing from prejudice and/or the opinion of others.Again: Based on what I've read and heard, by and from persons whose opinions I respect, about this fellow, Kyle, and about this movie, I believe I know what to expect and so I wouldn't go any further than HBO to watch it.Wait... did you just agree that a movie you haven't seen isn't that good of a movie?

You must not have seen the same movie, then.It didn't have much of a plot.Based on... what?Frankly, it isn't that good a movie to warrant all the attention it is getting.
"In service to my Country" is the component of that sentence you need to give some thought to.I consider all those who risk their lives in service to my country to be heros. Chris Kyle was one of many such heros.
