UnowPriceless hyped garbage

ShangLuda Admirable film.

Janae Milner Easily the biggest piece of Right wing non sense propaganda I ever saw.

Ariella Broughton It is neither dumb nor smart enough to be fun, and spends way too much time with its boring human characters.

Matt This show is simply worth watching. It takes a creative and well written show with good actors to hold my attention; this show does it for me! It's very raw and shows everything you need to believe the story being told. If you are into military and suspenseful shows with no regard to political correctness- you should watch it. It is done well! The acting is on point. The characters are diverse. There is blood, there are tears, there is laughing, and there is drama. It is very believable. I enjoy seeing a group of diverse characters, as opposed to a bunch of angry bloodthirsty soldiers. They all fall somewhere in between being patriotic and understanding their place in the war and just seriously wanting to kill someone.There is interesting insight into the dynamic of the Marines vs the Army. It appears (based on other reviews by Marines) that it is pretty accurate. WATCH IT!

Alex Lovesey This is one of the best mini-series I've ever seen and it is only seconded by band of brothers, which is the best with its unbelievably high budget. As well as being witty it shows an in-depth view of the marines and the hardships they faced with leadership and lack of supplies and all taken from the perspective of a Rolling Stone reporter so it is based on real life events.I would recommend this show to anyone as it is easy to watch and won't drag out like other TV shows might.This is another HBO classic so you can expect great acting and great cinematography which you will enjoy from beginning to end and that's why its a 10/10 for me.

Kong Ho Meng Really awesome realistic depiction of US marine corps. I can see from IMDb, many war vets are pleased with this movie because the character behaviours and the mood are all spot-on towards the real depiction of the modern generation of US soldiers being sent to war.This series focuses purely on the soldiers...there were no mention of political affairs (only those within the divisions), no romanticization of any sense, no clichés (those that appear to be are actually really happening within the corps), no utter nonsense whatsoever.If you expect plenty of bad-ass action and hate to watch boring routines, don't watch this series (1 war vets commented that the war in afgha/iraq is 5% action and 95% menial tasks). If you expect to watch these US heroes being depicted as heroes and not screwing around situations, don't watch this series. If you expect them to function perfectly like robots with pure morale, don't watch this series. If you worship them as if 'band of brothers' glorification, don't watch this series.If you really want to see how soldiers in iraq or afghanistan cope with their routines, this is the only depiction so far that hits the spot. I have come to this series after reviewing the failed Hurt Locker. I have watched interview videos of two of the actors who PLAYED THEMSELVES AS THEY WERE THE REAL CHARACTERS AT THAT TIME (namely Rudy and Kocher who also played as military advisors). The attention to detail, the jargons, the behaviour of many personalities existing within the marines, the clothes, teleplay, everything is just wonderful. The (totally) lack of music, meaning all the sound support are just military radios and soldiers singing lullabies, just adds to its power. I am glad HBO has succeeded this far. The only thing out of place I may point, is that the reporter seems too quiet. well, the series is not suppose to give him too much airtime anyway.Some of the jargons are just classic...

kingazuraz I don't know if this mini series is based on facts or not. If it is fictional then disregard my opinion.If this mini series is based on facts then I think it is despicable. I watched 17 minutes of the first one and it has just destroyed the credibility of the fighting men and women of the USA in the eyes of all the kids in schools who send them letters. The way the soldiers are talking about the kids and the disgusting comments towards the kids should warrant criminal charges.I truly hope that it is fictional because otherwise it has just lost my respectability for the US army.
