Jersey Boys, Trouble with the Curve, Hereafter, J Edgar all pretty weak efforts by Clint.
He's gonna make it up to us with this!

Trouble with the Curve was absolutely embarrassing. It made me physically ill.

Willing to bet the mother is having the kid return a shell to the American soldiers so they don't toss her house.

in the book I believe he talks about shooting a woman who they suspected of being a bomber ( a point I believe was kindof made up after the fact) He seemed like an uber meathead in real life
so I doubt he kills the kid in the movie

They going to include the part where he lies/brags about beating up Jesse Ventura?

Who hasn't bragged about beating up Jesse Ventura?

The trailers for this look incredibly intense.
I'm trademarking the phrase "Deer Hunter for the 21st Century", but I'll let you guys use it gratis.

Pretty dickish tweet. Sounds like something written
by some little doosh sitting in a Starbucks. Read the book and more just talks about a guy doing a messed up job and dealing with the consequences of actions.
The "foreigners" he was shooting at weren't carrying lollipops.

Sounds like this isn't a movie for a couple of the last few posters.
I can't wait to see it.

I read the book as well and I did not care for it much. After a while I just got tired of reading about what a bad ### all these guys are. I got that pretty quick in the book but it seemed like thats what every chapter was. I did here him interviewed and I actually felt he was much more humble in the interview. He said he was just at the right spot at the right time a lot. To bad the way he died if that is the truth.The General said:

FWIW, two co-workers in NYC saw it - both said awesome and they were separate conversations and neither prompted.
One male, one female - both late 20's and college educated.

Yep. Couldn't finish this or the Lutrell books because of the chest-thumping nonsense that was essentially just padding the page count.

Should i bother watching it?
Feel like I have already seen it 3 times with the constant barrage of trailers these last few weeks.

I saw it at a special screener in December....does that count for 2014?Well of course it is, we're only 12 days into the year.

For those who have seen this and Hurt Locker, could you compare the two?
Really liked HL, liked the intense war situations. Didn't care for the returning to home PTSD family stuff, but it was minimal so it was okay. The commercials for American Sniper make it look the other way around where the PTSD/family stuff is a majority of the movie and the intense war situations are sprinkled in. Is this true?

good the hear. I thought he was an odd choice, but sounds like he nailed it. hope to see it soon.

I think the balance is really good. The small brief scenes back home really illustrate the difficulty that these guys, that he in particular, have in doing what they have done.

I would agree with this as well. I think that the movie does a good job of portraying the challenges of the military life.
