Have not seen it yet, but the critics pretty much assassinated it. I think they just do not like Bruce Willis.

I take it you haven't seen Gallipoli.

yeah, I was really excited about it, it looks awesome, but it got terrible reveiws, mostly because the plot is "cliche"

I'm still gonna go see it, I mean, why would I let some critic tell me what is good and what isn't?

I heard it was really gory, a bit gung ho Seals kill everything. I'll probably see it simply because its got alot of shooting.

*SNORE Wha....is the movie over already?

great movie Bruce Willis did an excellent job....fuck the critics they dont know up from down

not as gory as BHD and there isnt much shooting until the end but still vey good

I'll go see it.

Fuck them critics!!!

Few of my friends saw it last night, said they liked it alot.

critics are a joke, their reviews depend on how much they get paid

I saw it today. I thought it was great. Great characters, atleast them seals. Those guys kicked ass. Pretty good story actaully. Howvere, like almost any war movie, it has a predictable plot. Which is why the reviewers don't like it. The only movies they loke are artsy foreign films. So fuck them. I can tell you now, it is a good movie. Willis kicks ass in any part. And he really played the navy seal good.

Haven't seen it yet, but I went to see Gods and Generals in theatres last week, and If the critics thought that was a hit, then what they said about Tears of the Sun doesnt mean squat. What do they know anyway? Movie critics... what a dumb job.

Although when i watched the previews for the movie, there were 3 others that seemed similar to it, but Bruce Willis is the man and Im sure he did a god job in it.

and for the one who said mel gibson is a bad war movie actor.... BRAVEHEART, THE PATRIOT???? CLASSICS!

Critics always bad mouth movies!

Critics are also biased toward certain actors. I'll go see it because I want to see it.

***con Brio's Ultimate "Tears of the Sun" Review***

This movie was awesome. I just got back from seeing it. It gives a really good depiction of the efforts of a squad (about 7) of Navy SEALs fighting for a very good cause. The scripting was beautiful; the visuals were beautiful; the cinematography was excellent. Most striking was when the explosions and airstrikes occured, I could feel my seat actually rumbling! (Surround sound rules!) I got a feeling, during the movie, that such a plot could happen in real life - don't ask me if it's based on a true story or not because I don't know, but I don't think it is. Anyways, forget what all of the other high-key critics have said about this movie and listen to what the everyday shmoe has to say about this movie. I mean, look: we like to play video games based on wars, and we enjoy military history. We also like the strategy of elite teams and watching it play out. Therefore, you will like this movie. I know I did.

And on another note, I saw a woman bring in four children to see the movie. I don't know what she was thinking, because the movie was not made for the kids. In terms of gore, there is some gore in the movie, but not enough to make you hurl. Actually, the gore was very limited in this movie, to be honest. This movie could probably pass as PG-13. (It's rated 14A here in Winnipeg.) You will not get grossed out. If you do, then you're a pussy. freak:

And on another note: when I saw a resistance fighter using a rocket launcher, one word came to my mind: "noob!" biggrin: (Thanks to all of you guys for instilling that way of thinking in my head.)

bruce willis is the best actor ever

Damn-Straight.

WERD!!!!! I say the same shit!

I just saw it, very cool movie. Lots of action, and shootouts.

i saw it tonight. really good i think. the seals did kick ass but they did not kill all of the enemy. in fact they didnt even kill that many of them. the f-18's fucked all the rebels up. it was a sick movie, but not there was not that much shooting until the last quarter of it or so

i think i will go and see it

Cant wait to see this myself. I think Bruce Willis is a good actor, always gives a good performance. Cant wait !!

/reminds self to buy die hard triliogy on DVD

The only war movies worth seeing are REAL war movies, I tire of these US propaganda bullshyt movies displaying the bravery of the SEALs on a mission that never actually happened.

There are hundreds of real life missions where troops have shown extraordinary bravery but they are never heard about or shown because Hollywood is a biased, brain washing propaganda machine. Basically it's a bullsh&t producer.

oOo:

I saw it on release day, and man was i impressed with the realistic attempt at a navy seal movie.. The story line is great. Bruce Willis isn't a far fetched hero in this movie. The sound effects will blow you away, and boy are those air strikes something. I found in one spot, the seals are sort of walking at a forest line and they cant see the enemy, but the nigerians are shooting at them, and no one really gets hurt. My guess, they should have been in prone, in the long grass. But overall I give the movie an 8.
