Black Hawk: marvelous
« on: October 26, 2002, 10:21:16 AM »
I bought this film on Thursday, and i saw it this afternoon. The movie is awesome guys. Who the hell said in the forums that it was very unreal? It may be, but the history, the action, the special effects and the cast is absolutely great. Some of the special effects are the best i\'ve seen in years: the fallen of the helicopter is to remember.

I like the war movies, even the old ones. Since Saving Private Ryan, the war movies are not the same. The special effects are the most important part of these movies, and Black Hawk is worth the money in that point.

What do you think of this movie? Tonite i\'ll watch Ocean\'s Eleven... if it\'s half the quality BH is, it will have been also worth the money.

Good movie, I thought.  I\'m a fan of Ridley Scott, and another one of his best films was just released on DVD.  It\'s called The Duellists.  BTW, the film you saw is called Black Hawk Down in the US.  http://us.imdb.com/Title?0265086

i like BHD a lot. and full metal jacket. The complaints iv seen(that were stupid IMO) were people saying it was racist against the somolians and also that there was no detail in the movie. Well, for the people that see it as racist, its war and we kicked their ass(with the exception of 12 of our soldiers), welcome to life. for the no detail, the movie wouldve been about 4 hours long if they did every bit of detail.

No detail? what kinda detail they need to call a movie detailed? May be that you can smell the fire of the guns... stupid IMO. The movie is great, as well as Full Metal Jacket, i love these.

Never heard about that film Cored ;)

Also We Were Soldiers has some pretty nifty fight sequences. And of course, it stars MEL GIBSON. MEL I WUB J00! That didn\'t sound gay, did it?

Adan, The Duellists was Ridley Scott\'s first movie I believe. I\'m also a great fan of his like Coredweller*. :)

Yes it has some very nice special effects.
But I did not like it, its a very patriotic movie (and I hate that) .. It does not represent what actually happened.

Where in the movie did the GI\'s panic and fire into a crowd full of women and children? The black people are made so they look like zombies on their way to kill the heroes.

Its a glorified version of the truth.

If you want a good war movie get FMJ or The Platoon.

We Were Soldiers is laughable.. Don’t watch it :) (I was shocked when I heard the Braveheart director made it)

Oh god, the worst movie mentioned here without a doubt is We Were Soldiers... it was partially filmed here at Fort Benning so there were a ton a Mel Gibson sightings (that should get Samwise worked up).  The problem I had with the movie was the suicide charge up the hill at the end with the helicopter saving the day.  I swear I saw BA from the A Team manning the M60 and I saw a couple of NVA jeeps doing barrel rolls... really lame.

 Anyway Blackhawk Down is a great movie.  The Rangers are based here at Benning too, and they interviewed a ton of them and ran it in the local paper when the book came out not long ago.  Its funny how people hardly remember when that happened and how the Somalis dragged our soldiers bodies through the streets...

I though We Were Soldiers was great.  It showed so many sides to Vietnam.

And the part when the friendly fire took place..... :eek:

The sig looks different depending on what fonts you have installed on your PC.  I\'ve viewed it on other pcs and it didn\'t always look correct.  On my PC it has a greek character in that position with two upright columns, sort of like a U.  To me it looks like to lowercase Ls.  oh well... more than you wanted to know...  :o
