Has anyone seen previews for this movie yet? It looks pretty good. Friday is the release date. It's based on the novel written by Anthony Swofford, and it's about his experience in the Gulf War.

I've been peeping the previews, but I probably won't go see it...Doesn't look that good to me, and I haven't seen a good war movie since Saving Private Ryan...I'm not getting my hopes up, but I will save the majority of my judgement after I read a few respected reviews...

Saving Private Ryan..?!
Man, you ARE sad..

Have you not seen Black Hawk Down or We Were Soldiers? :?

#5

Ehh, I ddin't say I haven't seen a war movie period who., just not one that I felt fond over...

I thought Black Hawk Down was OK...

But SPR...That movie was tremendous...Tremendous story, tremendous cast, awesome cinemetography...It was just good man...

SPR is good, but there are better movies. The Thin Red Line was awesome. 8)

Anyway, back to Jarhead... here are a couple trailers... Trailers

Jarhead, huh?

Go to the gulf,.. I had a boy who was in the gulf so deep he can't sleep without drinking himself unconscious.

I got a man who was a corpman there, and put friends in bags. The gulf is a trip, and no movie will ever compare so
I feel kinda like a Vietnam vet watchin a movie bout vietnam. nah, i already got tha lock.

I wanna see it. It looks really good to me. Plus, there is a Kanye West song on the soundtrack

All the Marines here are looking forwad to it. Supposedly it's pretty accurate on what things are like. Of course there is Hollywood additions, but overall its suppose to be good.

I bought the book tonight. I'm gonna start reading it tomorrow. I read a couple pages in the book store; it seemed like a good book.
