Wouldn’t it be cheaper just to go to YouTube and string together a bunch of advertisements for the Army and the Navy and Air Force?

Got my copy yesterday

I guess you only read the Daily Kos review of the movie rather than watching it yourself, lest you would know the Army and Air Force weren’t in it.
Fortunately, I saw it in theatre enough to make up for you and some other lefty kook as well.

Master Chief scared me more than any of the team members.

I read that the interrogation scene with him was all improv, and the actor playing Christo was really having a hard time with it.

Master Chief reminds me of a totally badass Brian Doyle Murray.

Rule #1: Keep the E-9’s happy.
Unhappy E-9’s make your life hell.

Honestly, I had a problem with the basic premise of the movie: namely that you can replace the metal ball bearings in a Claymore-style device with ceramic ball bearings and still have the same basic effect.
I’ve never TESTED it, but the fundamental problem I see is that ceramics tend to exhibit an extreme lack elasticity — in other words, they tend to shatter.
Again, while I’ve never personally tried launching ceramic ball bearings with a high explosive charge, it is my firm belief that, were it to be attempted, the ball bearings would be pulverized by the initial explosion, and thus wouldn’t have much effect on the area around them.
This sole point pretty much ruined the entire movie for me; Given my firm belief that such an explosive vest couldn’t possibly function as the movie portrayed it, and given that there was so much hype about “realism” in the movie, I found it impossible to suspend disbelief.
Honestly, the only thing I could see redeeming this movie for me would be some reasonably credible group (like the mythbusters gang) proving that explosive vests talked about in the movie would work as shown in the movie.

So replace the vest with a suitcase nuke, and we’re ok?

I knew there was something I meant to buy today. Hopefully I’ll remember tomorrow.

It was a joke you brain dead dumbfuck.

And I’m struggling to find a movie that got worse reviews in recent memory…glad to see you wingnut idgits are keeping the bar low. Rotten Tomatoes FTW.

Must have hit pretty close to the mark, bitch.

Yeah the “lol it was just a joke comment” is kind of negated when you respond with such bile and then immediatly follow it up with “The movie is bad and you should feel bad for liking it.”
Maybe instead of getting all angry at the “It was a JOKE! You wingnuts are stupid!”
You could have gone “Huh, the Army and Airforce weren’t in it? Well, no wonder you didn’t get my joke, you thought I was talking out of my ass.”
But that would take admiting error.
As for ratings AoV had a 25 critic and a 78 audience.
Which is hardly a unique spread spread.
Well maybe you can scream about Twilight or Transformers next.
