Let me first say that I was pretty excited to see this movie. Jamie Foxx is in it, they used my man Kanye's music in the trailer. Man! I'm pumped. Then T and I go to my sister's party this past Saturday and one of my sister's friends says that it was "okay...It's not a war movie, it's a movie about the build-up of going to war. There's no real fighting in it."
I listed to him, but I didn't really pay that last part ("There's no real fighting in it") too much attention. I figured it'd still be an interesting movie and that Jamie Foxx could make up for any lack of blood-spattering and AK-47 rounds going off.
T and I and I went to see it last night and I CANNOT RECOMMEND this movie to anyone who is a "civilian". The movie is interesting in that it gives you some insight into the life of a Marine and what it's probably like in their world. But as a civilian who's pretty much anti-"fight-for-America", I was disappointed that there wasn't very much action in this movie AT ALL. It has more of a documentary feel to it than anything else, if you ask me. Jamie Foxx did his thing and so did Jake whatever-his-name-is.
But in the end, I left the movie theatre a little disappointed. T liked it, but that's pretty normal for us. LOL. Then again, maybe it was all the male genitalia and bare buttocks that she liked.
Anywho, overall, I'd have to give this movie a rating of 3 on a scale of 1-5. It's a movie that I'd recommend you wait to rent rather than pay money to see, unless you go to a matinee. But full price? Hell to the NAW! Shot out to Bobby and Whitney..."When I say bobby you say Brown...Bobby..."
LMAO! I'm out!

me and my friend plan on going to that movie this weekend...after reading what you wrote i still think i would be a good movie to go to with the male buttocks being shown so thanks for saying something
Hello Ms. I Have No Last name...That's funny.
Anyway, I don't want to deter people from seeing it, just giving my opinion. After having seen it though, I can't recommend that people go check it out unless they just have a thing for military films. I hope you enjoy it and I especially hope you enjoy the pale male buttocks you will be privy to.
By the way, you're welcome. I forgot that in my previous message.
It's cool L. Jamie's one of my favorite actors ever. I am not sure what's up with his latest film choices but I don't think it'll matter. That Ray role will always garner him some respect. Regardless of how many flops he makes. At least that's what I believe. The only thing that could hurt him (in my mind) is if he started having a downward spiral in his personal life. He's an oscar winner and no one can ever take that performance away. But if you start acting Mike Tyson/Mike Jackson/Bobby Brownish, then you lose "that fan base" that got you that Oscar. And you know what I mean by "that fan base"!
As far as JarHead, go ahead and get the bootleg. I wouldn't recommend paying full price to see it. But this is just me. I like action movie and comedies and suspenseful movies. This was none of the above so it wasn't to my liking. But you may enjoy it.
